Nintendo's New Console

[L___E___T]

I reckon they should have debugs now if not pretty soon.  I haven't seen anything, but I know Japan had something middle of last year.  You'll see debug images soon.

Nintendo is guaranteed to make something completely ridiculous and over priced, I am afraid to see this nightmare of a console. Wii was and still is a terrible console, it only sold so many units because it's cheap. I know a old man down the street that bought one just for netflixs and nothing else.

The last 2 generations of Nintendo consoles only survived because they were super inexpensive to purchase.

Heck, I owned a XBOX for gaming in the last gen, and a Gamecube to play my gameboy games on the tv. That was the only reason to own a Gamecube. Just like the only reason to own a Wii is for Netflix.

Just like the only reason to own a Wii is for Netflix.

Or, ya know, virtual console and excellent first party games 

[NintendoKing]

Nah, you need to own a PS3 or XBOX 360 if you want those features. I admit a few Wii games are decent but it doesnt justify calling it a game console.

Wii virtual console is amazing!  I mean the one done properly through the homebrew channel

I agree everything is hideously overpriced.  The ones worth getting end up charged more as premium 'Japanese festival' games which is really annoying.

Nintendo's new console was just confirmed by the way, for those that are interested.  No images yet - those shown so far are fakes.

[L___E___T]

As much as I love Nintendo, the homebrew emulators provide so many more options over an above what the official virtual console does. 
I'm happy to pay reasonable prices so I have picked up a few N64 and PC Engine games, the odd SMS game etc, but being forced to play PAL Sonic, waiting for lengthy release schedules for all 5 versions of Street Fighter etc is absurd.  Nintendo treat Virtual Console like they do traditional release schedules when what they SHOULD have done is flood the thing with perfect ports from the get-go.

Here is a pic of the dev kit,can anyone confirm this.

[petik1]

That looks on par with what I've seen.  Don't get to carried away with its design, remember that its a dev kit, everyone.

Your link broke, Pikkon.

Maybe it's just me.  I tried directly going to that link though and I get a 404.

Edit: Wait a minute, my SercureIT virus protection is blocking the website.  This is the only virus protection I've ever used that's actually completely prevented me from going to a website without giving me a choice.  This sucks.

[Pikkon]

I threw the pic on my photobucket so you should be able to see it now.

[L___E___T]

Pikkon those are fakes buddy.

[Pikkon]

Ahh,thanks.Thats why I said can someone confirm this.

[L___E___T]

Well, unless there are multiple models of the same kit... :S

You'd think if someone was going to mock up a fake, they wouldn't just make it look like an internet café router, right?
