My guess is the next Mario Galaxy game and Animal Crossing game will pass on the Wii U and go directly to being launch titles for the new handheld. They will need it -- I think one of the bitter lessons Nintendo learned this gen they can't afford to half-ass a launch, if you do that, then you will be scrambling to "relaunch" for the next several months, even years. I think PowerPC is out too -- too exotic (meaning a higher cost to mass produce) of a chip. ARM will be Nintendo's partner, I think Qualcomm will get the nod for the GPU since Nintendo's Tech division head apparently used to work for Qualcomm. ARM + Qualcomm will probably give Nintendo a price that the likes of IBM + AMD simply can't match either. |
Yea not to mention the new handheld will be backwards compatible with the wii u so it will have those games as well which will be new for a lot of people.
