Does seem to good to be true. Still, it can happen.

If it is only going to be a triple core CPU, they better have upped the clock speed, cache sizes, etc. The other improvements, such as the R700 (which I think is the ATI HD 4800 series) and 2GB of RAM would be plenty for 1080p native, 3D, and quite improved graphics over the current 360/PS3 hardware.

The only MAJOR foreseeable setback in the future for this setup would be the CPU. Likely the next PS3 and 360 will have double the cores they have now, a slightly better graphics card, and more RAM.

The SSD is a good touch, though that means the internal storage will be limited to smaller amounts (such as 40-80GB) or it would be very costly. Maybe Nintendo has decided to go the route of cloud storage for game saves and whatnot to help reduce the need for HDD space?

Some of the games seem a bit unlikely as well. I cannot wait to see the reveal and see this hardware and games selection up close at E3 this year!

The only way this has a chance is if it's done by the Tactics team, which after how nightmarish XII's development was for them I HIGHLY doubt it.

Anyway, the game titles seem to make me more than a little skeptical. RDR for instance isn't even a year old so I don't see them announcing a sequel. If the system has a solid state drive that would make it the first of its kind, but SSD storage is very expensive compared to regular hard drives. However, these rumors also seem like some of the more plausible ones around.

i hope the rumers are false,becuase nintendo having all of those games is like the thought of my girl friend kicking me in the nuts and spiting on  me while i am down.

You have to remember that Game Saves are downright puny. 512 MB would be more space than you ever could possibly need for saves on a single console. It's DLC that takes up real space

I dont see two smash bros titles here... E3 just cant seam to come any sooner.

To be shown at E3:

Nintendo:
- Pikmin 3 (playable, launch title)
- Pokemon RPG (video, launch or near launch title)
- Super Mario Bros title (playable)
- Star Fox (playable)
- Smash Bros 4 (playable)
- Mario Kart (video)
- Zelda (tech demo)
- Metroid (tech demo)
- New IP (video)

Rockstar Games:
- Red Dead Redemption 2 (video)
- Grand Theft Auto “New Title” (video)

Ubisoft:
- Rayman Legends (playable)
- Red Steel 3 (playable)
- New IP (video)

SquareEnix:
- Final Fantasy XV

Capcom:
- Resident Evil (video)
- Megaman (video)
- Monster Hunter (video)

EA:
- NBA ’13 (video)
- NFL ’13 (video)
- NHL ’13 (video)

Activision:
- Modern Warfare 3 (video)

Konami:
- Metal Gear title (video)
- Winning Eleven (video)

Namco:
- Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (playable)
- Soul Calibur 5 (video)
- Pacman Rebirth (video)

The list dosent mean these games will be available at launch. They are games that are in development. Wich would really not surprize me. Look at the list of developers with DEV kits and each one of these are on there.

Like I was saying before even if the full list is not correct even half of this would be spectacular to have on a Nintendo system. Lets cross our fingers and hope for the best!

HD game saves on my 360 vary from kilobytes to as high as 40-60mb. Over the long term 512MB would not be enough for me. Then you have, like you mentioned, DLC like map packs and game add-ons. I suppose if they have a fast disc drive that doesn't require any installs ever, that would leave the HDD space free for other things.

If true, than HOLY SHIT!

Still, I can't help but feel that the Wii was abandoned too quickly. I suppose the two consoles can co exist somewhat for a couple years, much like the PS1 and PS2.

The third party support already looks better than Wii. I mean damn, FFXV, Soul Calibur 5, GTA5, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, MW3, Metal Gear! O_o.

If the third party lineup is really this good, I may not even need to buy the next Xbox! The very reason I bought a 360 was to fill the third party void Wii had and still has.

A Pokemon RPG launch title would be freakin EPIC.

I'm not sure I understand the controller situation.. So there will be a Gamecube like controller with a screen, AND a modern Wiimote type controller? I really don't think having their controller modelled ANYTHING like Gamecube is a good idea.They should just stick exclusively to the improved Wiimote plus type controller.

I just hope Nintendo doesn't forget about expanding its audience like with the Wii, or they may be in for a rude awakening.

Just give me Mario Kart, Mario Bros (better be 2D!), Smash Bros, and Pikmin 3 with a side of Monster Hunter and SCV and I am I happy guy. I wonder if they will pull the same strategy with this Zelda game as with the last one and release it on both the Wii and Project Cafe.

It's not true. How the hell you think Nintendo is going to show a new HD Zelda game when Skyward Sword has not been released yet? Nobody would buy Zelda Wii if they show a super-realistic Link for Zelda-Cafe.
