1) ibm cpu 6 cores 12 threads @ 2.5ghz modern tech  4 or 6mb cache.   (ibm cpus normally have more threads per core, so 6/12 is not a big issue, its allready cut in half)

2) about 2.5 Tflops gpu with mantle support and dx12 features.  (this performance was 3-4 years ago in PC as a maximum per card) so 2.5 when wii U 2 comes, is nothing... it should be 3.

3) 16 gigs of ram, (ddr4) which 2 of them are GDDR5 (graphics memory) -  DDR4 is extremly expensive now, but in a year it will fall about 50% down.  It will be the standard, as ddr3 is today.

 

basic model comes with 120-200gigs of HDD and the nintendo patent of bluray discs.

 

I believe this package will outperform the competitors and 3rd support wont be able to complain.

Nitnendo must achieve a system capable of 60fps and 1080p in most of games without issues. Also capable of running all next gen engines and not in a ripped off version (cut down)...

 

PS4 and X1 are not capable of 1080p and 60fps, something is wrong... Nintendo should hit them there.

 

I would love IBM cpu, but with the latest amd official tweets, I fear that AMD is capitalizing consoles with amd cpu cores... because amd sucks in capitals, in pc after all.

 

the new nintendo console will come around 2016 and the end of ps4 and x1, will come around 2020-2022.  That will bring nintendos new system in a str8 forward battle. And hopefully many 3rd parties will make games for nintendo this time around.

 

Another wish for the new system is the capabilities for HUGE world games, like mmos or rpgs... We've read articles by devs, who claimed that PS4 and X1 power is not enough "already", in the AI aspect for their games.... So nintendo, should focus in the AI capabilities of its new system.  This is a second thing, nintendo should look at... to offer even better AI power. 

 

It has something to do with the cpu power actualy...  So nintendo must give a better cpu than the 8 cores ps4 and x1 using.  To beef them up more, more cache, more transistors whatever they need... just beef them up.

 

a question, topics like these are good, but is nintendo reading them? What people want?

 

As for the AI, here is an article http://www.extremete...d-ps4s-weak-cpu

 

Ubisoft is horrible, but nintendo must give a feature proof system, 

Then there is no point for a new console, even if wii U sells less than the other 2, whats the point of making something that does not reflect the rest, but nintendo itself only. Just to point out, whatever machine nintendo makes, the way the market is, they will always have decline.  I think thats what the devs pointed out, that nintendo never asks the demands of other companies about their games, in the current state and in the feature. So they decline wii U (thats their oficial rant against nintendo, i think). So many games comming into 360 and ps3 still, but they skip nintendo... Because these things.  Both 360 and ps3 are IBM based machines so its not the IBM cpu the thing that conflicts it.

 

So its safer to stick with the Wii U and make a console every 10 years or so.  It will still be profitable, slower but profitable.

 

ps: I think i saw Miyamoto trying the oculus glasses in the last year E3, I hope they wont come with something similar, VR never works.

 

Humour : In the other hand, I remember nintendo registered a patend before wii U release and (not for wii U as it proved), for weather control, smells of ur house, laundry stuff etc... Do you remember that??? A sensor could detect if you have smelly cloths or dirty cloths, if you need laundry, etc... It could detect the weather otuside ur house and bring it on the game, etc.. I hope thats not the QOL projekt.  Here is information about it http://gonintendo.co...a0141747c2608b0

 

Its houmor now, but I will rant if I see it coming. 

 

I want a gaming machine with games and support

It looked absolutely great! Yet, this was just an ingame or cg render. Am looking forward to see gameplay

 

here is news about it.. its in game engine, its not cg... http://mynintendonew...-all-in-engine/

elfs are an androgynous species in the lore by defult.  They move fast, they unite their existence and creation with the moon, etc.. In fact elfs are the ancient chinese. Elfs is the imaginary and partially true - lore of their existence and creation... All games who promote elf lores, are typically chinese culture promotions (never forget that they have the 4 celestial gods, tiger, monkey, turtle and dragon that reflect to 4 ancient species, races on earth, you can see all countries arround the globe with the half moon in their flags, its different races that reflect that). We have them in our books as well, but not as elfs... They came from the moon (LEVAN) thats how the myth of Adam and EVA came out (ADAM is the 4 corners of planer earth and EVA is L EVA N, the moon) and firstly they resided along with the posidonians for some time, before Atlantis destroyed (you know posidonians as Atlantians). The story goes on, but I wont tell more, not here! lol Thats for the elfs..

 

as for the game, it really looks amazing and maybe the most anticipated and amazing game showed at E3 2014. Xbox show, was all about war games and they showed a cute one, just to break the monotony of war and kill...  EA show was amazingly borring, Ubisoft show was like last year and I havent seen Sony conference yet, I may watch it in a replay in a point.

I have a question, we learned that this trailer, is ingame graphics... but while ago, GAMESPOT released news, that its actual gameplay!! http://www.gamespot....y/1100-6420438/


My question is, if its actual gameplay, the camera is not behind the character, moving in 3d world? its still landscapes that changes when the character reach the limit of the screen? like final fantasy X?

I dont think nintendo would ever do that.

 

They just have to give a more powerful IBM cpu... A 3 core 4 thread per core cpu, would be enough  or 4 cores 16 threads.

 

IBM cpus have 4 threads per core.  So a 4 core IBM cpu is like 16 cores for amd.  But Nintendo cut wii U cpu down, they cheaped it very much. So its not the IBM we should blame here or to consider IBM as a weak cpu.

 

We have to blame 2 things for why wii U lucks in 3rd games..

 

1) Nintendo play safe and they end up without 3rd games. Also nintendo cares allot of making profit from hardware. Cheap hardware and sell it very expensive. Thats what they did with gamecube and wii....

2) Gaming companies, cheap productions costs at maximum.  They create 1 game and they just look to do easy porting, to make more profits.  That is why they dont support wii U.

 

So as far as I remember, when wii U came out, some paid developers from MS or Sony, start ranting wii U... horrible, weak, junk and whatever...  So they made gamers not to buy it.  I remember the ranting.

They tried to slow down the sales of wii U and they made it...  Wii U start selling more, after ps4 and x1 release... That means something, their slowed it down till they release their own.

with the latest news, I suspect nintendo abandons IBM and moves to a pc technology... AMD also said they built a new cpu+gpu chip for a new console for 2016...

 

That means, wii U is the last console with backwards support.  Now lets see if Nintendo will make wii U2 a bit more powerful than current x1 and ps4... If they truly use x86 tech, it will be easily comparable.

 

If they play safe again and make it near to x1 and ps4 hardware, or identical, I consider it as a stupid move... Because the other 2 consoles will be already established and wii U 2 must appeal to others! And normally the super duper specs make people buy things, more than the games

 

But it will also be clever for nintendo, because when the other 2 consoles will start to straggle, wii U2 will fly even higher... A key point is, Nintendo must give 1080p next gen and 60 fps experience.... That is what all people ask, up to date, ps4 and x1 cant offer that in most of their games.

 

I also suspect that Metroid open world game, will come with wii U2 (Expanded metroid universe).

I can solve Bigfoot

http://en.wikipedia....Gigantopithecus

 

 

So see even Bigfoot is proven fact easier to prove than WiiU hardware

 

We have better reference than that.  We have oficial historical books from the 15th century, not myths or literature, but historical books about the races of hummanoids that lived and live on planet earth. The book is hand written and it was the oficial history of my country for 200 years from the end of 15th (16th-18th) century.  I could give you the link to download it, as we have it for free in digital form (scanned), but you couldnt read it, its classic form of Hellenic, not modern. This book is not very known and banned. Only 1 copy left, they burned the rest. Thats how we got it and scanned in a public digital  library.  It is banned, because it mentions some strange races among the normal ones. Also it gives details about each race, that are not known to foreign countries.

 

1) Clever monkeys

2) Kynokefalos (animal head and human body), we have minotaur in ancient Greece, egyptians have the cat look like humanoids, etc

3) Reptilians  (u know them from conspiracy theorists)

4) Unicorns  (humans with 1 horn)

5) Giants

6) it also refers to cyclops and 1 more race with 2 heads and 1 body

 

This is also an explanation, why people some times born children with this kind of anomalies... Thats how they call them today. It is not, it is just some leftover dna from the past.

 

Bigfoots can be considered as clever monkeys, not Gigantopithikos  (giant monkey).

combining this information from AMD, it seems wii U2 comes in 2 years and at 2015 E3, we may have a glimpse

 

http://mynintendonew...oduced-in-2016/

 

message from AMD

 

 

The design wins are interesting because the funding, the R&D dollars for customizing the parts for the products to our customers is precisely pre-funded by the customer and like I said the workload is started and we are spending the money and the resources and the work to go ahead and design the parts to be introduced sometime in 2016.

We didn’t say at which space it is in. I’m not going to give too much detail. I’ll say that one is x86 and one is ARM, and atleast one will be on gaming, right. But that’s about as much as you going to get out me today, because the customers from the standpoint to be fair to them. It is their product. They launch it. They announce it and then just like the game console or the parts you find out that its AMD’s APU that’s been used in those products.

 

 

2 + years have pass and wii U is 8m its not because of the game quality wii U have, its because 3rd devs conspired against wii U from the start. Thats what I believe.  What nitenendo can do in solo mode?  The other ones, even with so much rant from real users, sold 10-15m in a year because devs making games for them.  So if we consider the above statement as a nintendo console, its 4 years exact from wii U release date and 4 years is the minimum for nintendo to bring a new console.  I do believe that wii U will not stop having support from Nitnendo, because wii U is the last console with backwards features.  And they will keep that up also, along with their new product.

 

but am not happy with amd cpus... lol I would preffer nintendo to stick with IBM. Allready crackers made/working for xbox 1 emmulators  lol.... while they still trying for the 360 which is IBM.

 

edit: I made a search to check if there is any emulator for x1 (emulates the x1 games in any INTEL PC) and there is 1 actually working! So you dont have to buy x1 if you know u can emulate its games in a cheap I3 PC  (even if the x1 cpu is amd, the emulator runs in INTEL pc).  My point is, choosing x86 platform will totally kill consoles.

What would you do? 

I would..
- Buy Capcom
  > Bring back Mega Man and proper Resident Evils
  > Possibly older titles, and make a new Eternal Darkness game (?)
- Push Nintendo into Mobile
  > Apparently they have this Kirby Epic yarn picture modifier, and that would've been a good app.
- Improve Club Nintendo / Nintendo Network
  > Keep the rewards, but just have a general store.
- Create a Zelda Maker, and expand Mario Maker both through DLC
  > Such as Music creation.
- Nintendo Coloring Book on Wii U
- Pay 1/4 of dev cost for third parties to publish games on Wii U.
- Expand games, give games like Punch Out, Excite, Wars more presence.
- Give the eShop better UI. 

 

You would bankrupt nintendo

 

I personally, would keep it as it is, 1 desktop console and 1 handheld.  But I would offer a strong desktop console and for more than 5 years.  I dont understand their logic into life spans... I would keep built quality up, expandable machines (a wii U that can get upgrades, such us more ram and a dual gpu for feature games) and the lifespan would be 10-15 years, if I had nintendo. I would preffer instead of focusing in attractive cheap hardware, to offer a platform for many years and invest in games, instead of research in new ways of play... lol

 

I would focus in open world games and new franchises, for both casual and hard core. And I would buy a western studio, because nitendo is all about eastern culture and gameplay. They luck in western likes.  Everything has to do with elfs, moon and turtles.   An example is Crytek right now is in the brick of bankruptcy, I would buy crytek and Konami (because Konami has the football game, also Mr. Snake).

 

I would also make a series of metroid games, like a mass effect series and style...

 

I am against mobility, so no interest of pushing nintendo into mobile... even my personal mobile phone is 12 years old.. lol

The making new franchises part is a great idea but, the ''upgrading'' consoles is a bad idea,you would be doing what Sega did with the Genesis and the 32x and Sega CD add ons to improve the system. in the end they overwhelmed the consumer and the system end up failing after their first years of glory when it was just... Genesis. After losing money on those add ons and consumer trust, they released a half baked console (Sega Saturn) and totally lost it there making them have to rush to release the Dreamcast and ending up losing dramatically against the PS2 one year later... you would also make Nintendo go to bankrupsy. 

Stik with the making new franchises thing and everythings gonna be fine lol. 

then locked hardware and unlocking when the time comes with new bios.. I am against the low lifespan of a console, if the console have potential.  If wii was a better hardware, nintendo could still keep that and the 110million users!  Unlock more potential and keep going.

 

I grow with super nintendo, so I ave experienced the 32x... it was not a big deal, thats why it failed. The games was not a big difference! I remember 32x came out and nintendo made the donkey kong that looked even better!  But it had hardware accelerator inside the cartridge!  So u see?  Its not the 32x, it was just not a big deal.

 

I also think nintendo used a 32fx chip or something, inside some games... I cant remember, so many years. But it worked out!

http://mynintendonew...endo-president/

 

Awesome!

.

 

Hopping its not a kind of elections we saw in Korea, he took 100%  hahahaha kidding. 

 

Ok lets let him do his job now

I saw the last 30 min, no wii U at all... absent... We may have a glimpse of a new wii U2 in 2015 E3...

 

It was a dedicated for 3ds show?  news articles troll us if it was a dedicated for 3ds. I got an email last night about nintendo direct and wii U X game

I just saw it, splatoon and mario party looks amazing, I wish mario party monopoly as well, it looked like that.  As for X game, @19:58 of the nintendo direct and up to 20:00 you can see some flora popping up from nowhere, I hope they fix this and it looks really amazing beyond that.

 

These amibos are very important for nintendo business lately, they make lots of money. Some people are so crazy about them, they even buy them all, so others wont get it and re-sell it much higher after!

Do I want that Majora's Mask 3DS? It looks so good, but I don't need a New 3DS (still rocking the Ocarina of Time one).

They opened with Wii U info. Mario Party, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and more were shown.

then I have to watch it from the beginning.  I only saw the last 30 min.

there is nothing else!!...

I check vgchartz and x1 dont have good sales either, only ps4 sales are much higher... So wii U it is... The sad part is, that nintendo offered again an exclusive nintendo box. They have to step up, because economy is bad, if someone does not wish to buy many consoles, but 1...  Wii U is not the ideal offer for feature games.

 

Lets see what happens, fingers crossed.

Zinix, on 26 Jan 2014 - 10:16 AM, said:

VGChartz has no credibility.

The numbers come from someone's ass.


Wait for the media create sales or wait until Iwata cries about how bad the sales for the Wii U are.

Iwata did today!! And tomorrow is the investors meeting, he may cry there to. Lets hope they find something that works for wii U, soon. The way things go, wii U may achieve less sales than gamecube. I disagree with Nintendos policies, to reduce the salaries of the stuff by 50% AND THEIR salary only 20% "puritans" ... Those who #$#$# things up, pay less? They should have 80% salary reduction and the employees about 10%. Its not the fault of the poor employ, why wii U got less horse power than the competition does and why 3rd party companies, dont make games for it!. But I dont think Iwata gets it, is it? I am sure, his consideration is not WHY wii U is less horse powered, or WHY wii U have less 3rd party games... But WHY it dont sell that much, without reason given... so its Nintendo employee fault.. (Personally i wouldnt care about wii U power, if it had the games I want). Now my next waiting to see how it looks and goes, is the X by monolith. I hope more games like X will be announced for wii U.

From that only, I dont like what Iwata did.

a question... Have you seen the LOTR game that Monolith is developing for xbox 1 and ps4!!!!??? Why wii U is excluded!

Take a look at that  (monolith)

I personally fear that Nintendo may abandon desktop consoles and focus into tablets.  But the way things are, wii U may die sooner than expected. 

 

Wii U sales picked up though, since ps4 and x1, even if ps4 is nearly the same sales with Wii U, wii U sales are much better now.

 

I personally, if I was nintendo, I would do a kind of rescuing plan... Make a more powerful wii U and about the same price as ps4... Much better gpu and 2 more cpu cores (6 core)...  And make a kind of an exchange plan for the already customers (like DS in the past), to turn in their wii U and have a huge refund of exchanging with the new one.   Fully backwards, so it can support all wii U games... (instead of killing wii U faster). 

 

there is so many bad news, they never stop though. I dont know...  Nintendo has money, 1 month ago, I ve read that Nintendo is a more expensive company than Sony!!  That says allot for a company with consoles only!!!!

 

Sony has Tv, dvd, bluray, all kind of machines and ps4.

today the rumor that watchdogs is not coming on wii U, revived again, because they removed it from the pdf file of wii U 2014 releases... anyway, watchdogs is not in my list in any platform, I got sick reading about watchdogs, its an old food... so I got bored very quickly, even before it comes out.

 

http://www.nintendo....014/140130e.pdf

 

above you can check the oficial pdf info by nintendo till 30 of jenuary / 2014  there is no watchdogs, but they do have the " child of light "

i give up for now... waiting for " The Order " ...  I wanted something like that for wii U, a new announcement, make me forget " The Order "...

 

X is amazing but we've seen it so many times!  Its 2014!

 

I quited playing handhelds long ago, not boethering with mobiles either... But If i had 3ds, I was about to be hyped... They showed many for it.

xbox one price is dropping by 100$, so i start believing what vgchart says here... http://www.vgchartz.com/

 

wii U about 40k and xbox one 48k... lol  Now when they drop the price, they may earn 500k sales more as a boost, but it will drop again at the current rates. I bet.

 

http://news.yahoo.co...-181840337.html

 

now ps4 is 3x from wii U and xbox one... Thats good news though, because Wii U will not left alone, for a long time, so that may give some boost into 3rd party support.

the way i see it...

 

Ps4 wins over a 150m sales

xbox one will be about 30-40m , it will be the gamecube of this generation.

wii U is doom and glum about 15m, like never existed...  Nintendo will make a new console in 2 years I bet.  If we monitor the lifespan of their consoles, they play between 4-6 years for each platform... If wii U cannot make it, they will release a new one in 2+years.  (this year is very critical for wii U, lets wait and see, after mario kart8 and bayonetta, how it goes).

 

overall.... Sony stays, nintendo will make another platform, microsoft may leave.

p4 will sell 70million
x1 20 million
wii u 300 million

New console from nintendo in 2018

i am not a hater, i c things realistic   I did the same thing, I saw it comming, with the controller, before they even release it.

 

You can search my very first posts, before even wii U get released, I screamed about against the controller, while others wanted 2-3-4 screen controllers.

So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me see if I have this straight.

 

The $400 console that isn't marketed towards the family/casual market whatsoever is going to sell more than the $250/$200 Wii, which, if I remember anything about the last generation, completely caught on with the family/casual crowd, completely blew any and all sales expectations out of the water, and still only sold almost 101 million consoles worldwide?

 

 

I thought wii U was ponting to core gamers and hardcore stuff..? change of plans?   It will face even bigger problems if they focus in Wii stuff, because casuals and family, change 1 device, every 20 years....

What are you smoking... 150m for PS4? Not the way the world is currently.

ps2 did! why not ps4.. I dont own any console yet... I upgraded my PC and waiting to see games and stuff.

 

but if you love some comforting... I dont think x1 will increase its sales from titanfall or any equivalent to titanfall.... I like fps games, but this game is very dry, EA is dry, EA games for a reason are soulless, dragonian. They have no spirit and it creates you a mud, not to play them... Maybe the truth about EA is somewhat near to that theory. Its not the EA that I knew in the past. Their games now are a bit... More like a monkey is trying to create something unique for a human brain and they cant do it.  Only bioware makes somewhat good games, but they loosing it in a long term support... Like Swtor.  Maybe because they rush the games like a fast food company... I have little and big hopes for the upcomming titles from EA ( Battlefront, Dragon age 3, mass effect 4, star wars open world RPG). 90% of them are Bioware.

 

I saw it in action and I got bored before I even wanted to download the demo of it, in my PC. Maybe gear of wars when it comes out and halo... other than that.... xbox 1 is.... crap and you can see that in the sales... I bet the next couple of years, wii U will be in front xbox 1 in total sales... ps4 will move frwrd, without any competition. To about defend my statement about ps4... Imagine that ps4 is not officially released in Japan yet.

 

there is already doom and gloom articles in financial and non gaming news sites...like Yahoo, abc... First of all its more expensive and buggy and secondly, its a trojan...
