So, apparently, there have been leaked rumors from Nintendo over a NEW console that aims for the hardcore gamer market, rather than the family market. According to this, Nintendo plans on releasing the news of it at the next E3 conference. I'm not sure how much stock we could put behind these stories, but hey, rumors are rumors, right!? Get full coverage here! |

 uk.gear.ign.com/articles/116/1163325p1.htmlThe console itself is reportedly as big as the original 360. The screens in the controllers were said to be 6 or so inches, so I wouldn't be surprised if they turned also turned out to be pretty massive. This also means they are somewhat unlikely to be motion controllers, which is probably a good thing. Each of the controller screens is a touch screen, and capable of streaming games to each controller, though given the power of the system, could also feasibly provide a virtualized console for each individual unit. As shown in the example above it can also do things like displaying the split screen of a splitscreen game to each individual's controller, perhaps to prevent cheating? Will retail for 350-400 bucks, apparently. Built with a tri-core processor similar to the X360, but with higher clock speeds. Still reportedly out-performs even the PS3. May support stereoscopic 3D sometime down the line. Earliest possible retail release also reportedly anywhere between mid-October and early November but that honestly sounds far too early unless Nintendo has been sitting on this secret for the past year or so. There have also already been rumours that the new Nintendo console will be home to at least one game from both the GTA and Eternal Darkness series |

Well, GTA and Eternal Darkness aren't unheard of on Nintendo, so that's really cool, I guess.
Also I was about to post those news... you beat me to the punch. >:(
Also, a possible reported name for the console is Nintendo Stream... which, admittedly doesn't sound too bad, until you pair that up with its predecessor's name... Wii...

Those controllers don't look like 360 controllers at ALL. They also don't look like Key Lime Pie, and another similar thing between these two statements is that I can't think of any reason anyone would bring them up because nobody has said anything to the contrary. |

It's officially called the "Wii U"
Errrrrggghh, why does nintendo name their new console after the shitty ass Wii
I also think they should make an alternative controller without the screen, because I think the screen one will cost as much as the console itself.

They already have one of those, it's called a "Classic Controller"
Honestly I have no idea what to think, it's alternately ridiculous and brilliant. I'm just going to have to wait until I can actually try it out I suppose.

I only like that you can play on the controller's screen.
I think everything else is a big gimmick and nobody but nintendo and third parties that uses nintendo characters will use them.
You're also a sick fuck, MVG.

Those controllers don't look like 360 controllers at ALL. Then again, every controller ever is basically just a SNES controller. |

I can imagine playing Smash 4 quite awkward to play on that controller. I'm probably gonna invest in a Classic Controller for that end.
Regardless, I intend to make PR for NYC again, no matter what silly controller I use. ;p
