As of now (which could change) the system runs of a custom built IBM triple-core CPU and has 2gb RAM. The graphics chip is a custom built Radeon R700 chip. - It will run natively at 1080p. - The screen on the controller is indeed a 6″ LCD high resolution (reported 640 x 960 pixels) display. However, Nintendo said in order to keep battery life manageable, the controller doesn’t have any hardware to produce graphics itself. The image is simply a video stream directly from the console. - As reported by other sources, Nintendo is targeting this console to the hardcore gamers once again. Everything above is expected and reported with other sources - The new controller slightly resembles a Gamecube controller with a large LCD screen in the middle of it. The controller is light for its size and looks like a tablet with Gamecube-like prongs to the side. It has dual analogue sticks, face buttons, d-pad and shoulder buttons. No triggers were on the device. this sounds about right, but I'm a bit surprised at the lack of triggers, maybe they're just happy with shoulder buttons but I would of thought triggers would of allowed more in depth FPS's - The controller uses rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Size of the battery is unknown. I like this idea, the PS3 controllers are great since I don't need to keep spare AA batteries around the house to replace them - There is an internal SSD. Size is unknown at this point. I doubt Nintendo would use a SSD, they are much more expensive than a regular Hard Drive, but if they have them great - The Wiimote can be used and a new model of Wiimote will be released with the console. This new controller will have overhauled internals allowing for much more precise movement tracking than even the Wiimote Plus had. I'm not totally sure here, Its good to keep backwards compatible Wiimotes, but if they have two controllers, I can see the original controllers not getting supported due to it not being precise enough, or the new controllers not getting supported due to the amount of old Wiimotes out there - The Project Cafe system development kit is not representative of the final console design. The console is smaller and resembles the Japanese/European SNES models. this has been a rumour before, but this sounds awesome, I like the portability of smaller consoles compared to the giants of the PS3/360 - Nintendo have told developers that their online system will be ‘the best online experience’ that’s available on consoles. The whole idea of the machine is to be connected to the internet 24/7. It’s being targeted as an online/social console. Friend codes are gone, but no word on whether the online service will be subscription based. I certainly hope this is true, but I doubt it - The Pokemon RPG is the title Nintendo will be showing off their online experience with. Again, I certainly hope this is true, but I doubt it - Nintendo is planning on some sophisticated inter-game communication between the 3DS and the console. Nintendo didn’t explain what they’re planning on. This might be a response to future PS3/PSP2 connectivity, it'll happen eventually so its a fairly safe bet To be shown at E3: Nintendo: Rockstar Games: Ubisoft: SquareEnix: Capcom: EA: Activision: Konami: Namco: |
my comments in bold, the only glaringly bad rumour is FF15, so unlikely
