Then comes the memo to all developers "You're going to have to include at least 3 minigames where a character has to differentiate between textures. In Nintendo innovation tradition, they must be clunky, wreck pacing and be very obviously shoehorned in to showcase technology"

First and foremost: I call bullshit. This all sounds like a load of epic bullcrap.

They didn't change they way I played, I tried it and it sucked balls so I went back to what I did before.

Also I hope touchscreens go out of fashion, they get fucking disgusting after five minutes of use.
This. Also: I can smell the gimmicks that will come out this from a dozen miles away.
And I get the feeling it will hardly be functional for a good chunk of it's life... kinda like the wii.

Ugh I hate the pre-E3 period. All these rumors coming out of everywhere. Can't everyone just wait until E3 to get the true information instead of making rumors for a month and a half? Bleh.

Anyway, you know what was a good controller, Nintendo?


I'm taking a break from using one to play an old GameCube game, actually. I forgot how great that controller was, and it makes me wish more Wii games supported it. Would anything really be lost from Super Mario Galaxy if I could press B to attack and I wasn't able to shoot the useless star bits at enemies? I think not.

They may be Gimmicks, but Nintendo do it right, and lets face it, Kids love Gimmicks.

Sometimes they do it right, anyway. I cannot thank them enough for the ability to turn off the useless 3D on the 3DS.

By the way, the word "gimmick" is absolutely the stupidest and least useful term in online videogame discussion. Just for the record.

Why do they insist on making consoles, and the games on them, revolve around their ridiculous gimmicks? I just want to play my Metroid and Zelda and Kirby with normal analog sticks and buttons. You know, controls that work perfectly.
Seconded to infinity.

I stopped reading at the "simulate texture" bit. I'm starting to think Nintendo is secretly a vampire that hisses at the proven concept of two analog sticks, a D-pad and 4-6 primary buttons (plus optional shoulder buttons and maybe Trigger buttons in the back).

Wait a second. How did we go from this [http://gbatemp.net/pix/253812/Snes_control.jpg] to this [http://museumofgames.net/gamecube_controller.jpg] and then finally to this [http://images.wikia.com/gamespedia/de/images/0/0c/WiiMote.jpg]?
All reports thus far indicate that the Wii 2 / Cafe / Feel will have exactly that. Plus the touchscreen.

They get it right sometimes.

And kids aren't even the main demographic for games anymore. The average gamer is in his/her 30s.

If this is true, this new system will end up just like the Wii; huge early sales and no software support leading to a crash.

Do it right? How? The DS touch-screen sometimes makes things more convenient, but there aren't that many games that make much use of it. It's mostly been treated as another Game Boy by developers.

And what good has the Wii's motion controls every brought us?
Hey the motion controls aren't that bad, sure they are terrible on some games, but on most they work fine.

But if you had to pick Kinect or Wii...which would you pick...honestly.

Next you'll be telling me it gets warmer in fire/lava levels, and cold during the ice levels. I am kind of shocked, actually. I haven't heard a whisper of this kind of technology. Holy crap Nintendo has been busy these past few years. No wonder they only put out a AAA game every now and again...

No no no, no no no no. No no, no, no. Nonononono. There is absolutely no reason for this. I refuse to believe that this is true. I'm actually very surprised that Escapist reported this, even as a rumor.

NEWSFLASH:


Apperently the new Nintendo console also prints golden money and masturbates you at the same time!!!

C'mon people, be realistic, The Wii 2 can AT BEST be the equal of the 360 and PS3 just with old crappy motion controls.
