What are your thoughts on it? Given that its codename is "cafe", I'm assuming its going to be marketed towards an older demographic. I just hate all of these news sources calling it the "next wii console" or "wii 1.5" or "Wii HD". Most likely, it's not going to be a wii.

I'll wait until they actually announce something before I form an opinion.

This.

@petik1: Also young people visit cafes.  ;)

It's the next gamecube for sure.  They just released the next virtual boy and the wii is still too new.
Also, whatever it is it will probably still have weaker hardware than the xbox and ps3 :)
GRRR!

^I strongly disagree with you.  There is no doubt in my mind that Nintendo's new console will be in HD.  And if not, it'll at least have component input.  I'm sure Nintendo's new console will be great, but like UglyJoe, I'm going to wait until there's more official news about it.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

Nintendo is rushing something else out? Sheesh! Stick with what people like... Famicom/NES, Super Nitnendo/Super Famicom, Gamecube, and the Game Boy... :upsetroll:

You need to minus Gamecube from that, and replace it with N64. Nintendo needs to make another N64 but call it Nintendo Revolution with modern graphic capabilities.

nensondubois

Yeah, give the Nintendo 64 more than 4k or texture capability and with better drawing distance; maybe add an extra chip in the carts and bring the DD to America?

Well, I think Sony is still taking a loss on their hardware, and I know damn well Nintendo isn't going to sell their HW at a loss (or anywhere even remotely close), so it's either going to be weaker (hw capability-wise, which is not to say it's a worse system) or it's going to cost a fortune.
GRRR!

It's been six years since XBOX 360 and PS3 came out. The hardware has gotten cheaper to manufacture. Nintendo should at least have 360 comparable graphics to compete. There have been hints that MS and Sony won't release a new console until 2013, 2014, thanks to Kinect and Move. I just want a capable, fun game system.

That also sound unrealistic to me. I mean 6 inches is pretty huge. Even the NGP will "only" have a 5 inch screen.

I think she is just saying that to make you feel better...   ::)

petik1

Now that I think of it, yeah, that's unreal. My phone has a 4.3" screen, and that's too big to fit on a controller.

Nintendo already sent out dev kits to developers,so yes this is for real.

L___E___T

Promise you guys this is for real, I first heard about it last year.  E3 reveal.
