Title: what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: Dehumanizer on January 09, 2007, 08:35:41 AM
cuz just look at the wii and DS, what are they going to do next...

resons: Wii The Wii Remote is the primary Wii controller, which allows for point-and-click-style gameplay. It's also motion-sensitive, letting you twist, lunge, tilt, and lift your way to gaming greatness. A rumble device and a built-in speaker offer feedback.

DS The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities.

You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations.

The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

so what can there do

we'll leave that to them, nobody has been expecting these things, but if we did somebody else would make them first, right? probably Sony or Microsoft, they would hurry through it to make a profit as soon as possible, mess it up, and turn everybody away from it. I just hope Nintendo is first to do reality games, like the ones with helmet you see in shows and such.

Nintendo already did that. Have you ever heard of the Virtual Boy? I heard that it didn't fare very well on the market.

Most likely, but until they announce they are going third-party anything can happen.

Anyway, I'm not sure how far into the future it will be, but Miyamoto once said that he one time want to make consoles that don't connect to the TV, but fills the entire room.

I don't think it is their last but it is their last big console. Heck they lose an average of 250 dollars with each console sold (200 for the 60 MB system, 300 for the 80 MB system) and all they really do is improve graphics and put add-ins to their system, but can't seem to release consistent quality games. Of course they tried to copy Nintendo's controller but apparently their control is not that great. Also killing Sony is their disaster known as the PSP (aka "The New Game Gear") which offers more then the DS except for quality game play.

With the almost inevitable failure of the PS3 it's very likely that Sony may find themselves as a third-party already a year from now.

the thing that's really killing Sony overall is that they are too preoccupied with making a profit that they can't make anything of good quality, hence all the recalls.

Nah, i think Sony has enough money to start up another system, if they want. But they can't just become 3rd party, what system will hold the Kingdom Hearts series? I think I may cry if they stop making KH games!

Well from what I have heard Square-Enix might be making KH3 for the Wii. Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet but given that SE and Nintendo are getting along better now then ever and the fact that Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games are coming for the Wii (as well as the DS), it makes perfect sense that Kingdom Hearts will as well.

plus Chain of memories was on the GBA, so obviously they have cooperated before.

What about rachet and clank? Do you think that will be made for the wii?
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: MasterKeyX on January 14, 2007, 12:40:20 PM
IF Sony became third party, then maybe. But if they have a console again, R&C will most likely stay a Sony exclusive.

Kingdom Hearts for the Wii would be crazy, by the way. The motion sensing would make it rock. :)
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: DW on January 15, 2007, 10:22:01 AM
that...would be awesome...and then for different spells you could do different things with the wiimote...like hold it up for heal, point it out for fire, etc.
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: MasterKeyX on January 15, 2007, 02:19:27 PM
And that, my friend, is why the Wii rocks hard, and the others do not. :)

nope sorry i have look at all and look at sites and talked to alot of poeple on xbox 360 vs wiii vs ps3 ok and the winner was xbox 360...
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: DW on January 16, 2007, 06:26:27 AM
obviously they haven't gotten the wii. not to mention the 360 has been out long enough for people to actually get, whereas wiis and PS3's are hard to find.
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: Dehumanizer on January 16, 2007, 08:12:59 AM
i have played all of them and i know some poeple that played all of them and we all say xbox 360
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...

fine, whatever. It really depends on what you are looking for in a system.

I have all the Xbox 360 and Wii, I think the Wii is better by far. It could just be my gaming style though.....  
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: oh-how-unreal on January 16, 2007, 02:45:11 PM
i like all the system

Post by: LadyNintendo on January 17, 2007, 01:25:49 AM
Just like we have a Xbox and GC now, my siblings and I will probably get a Xbox360 and Wii, when prices are a little better and the Wii has some (more) decent games that don't mainly rely on hilarious multiplayer situations.

Post by: MasterKeyX on January 17, 2007, 11:29:31 AM
XBox, in my opinion, is the worst of all three. It's a year old already and there's nothing innovating about it.

Ohh, Halo 3. BIG DEAL!

Post by: DW on January 17, 2007, 11:35:27 AM
you know, something interesting I read in GI, they are making another Halo game called Halo Wars. They say it won't be FPS (first person shooter) but that it will be RTS, which I have no idea what that means, though I suspect the TS is for Team Shooter or something.
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: MasterKeyX on January 17, 2007, 11:37:37 AM
I think RTS is real time shooter, but I'm not 100% sure.
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: DW on January 17, 2007, 01:05:17 PM
actually, that would make sense. It's supposed to be a bunch of ongoing battles, so it would make sense to be real-time. its supposed to be about when they first encountered the covenant.
Title: Re:what is nintendo going to do next...
Post by: MasterKeyX on January 17, 2007, 05:12:00 PM
Sounds interesting.I do know the Halo story, and it is rather good.I just don't like XBox. You want a good game, play Resistance: Fall of Man for the PS3.

my bad, thanks for the correction. In that case, the next installment for Halo will be more startegic.
