Forums - Nintendo Discussion - IGN: Nintendo is absolutely going to show new hardware this year

sundin13 on 01 May 2014

Wii U redesign launching this holiday?

But seriously, this could be anything except (imo) a new mainline handheld/console...

Nintendo could very well announce a 3DS successor.

Nintendo won't show anything hardware related, then by magic everyone will forget this guy ever said that


Peer is like one of the best people on IGN, we still haven't forgotten some of the things he says.

wiiu with out a gamepad for 149$-199$

Incredibly stupid move if so.


why?  the wiiu is selling at horrible rate, even behind the dreamcast, and even the GC is way in front, so it's  obvious consumers don't care for the gamepad and it's only hurting the wiiu from becoming a cheaper console that more people can buy.

The gamepad is required for certain games and features.

Would require a massive OS update and patches for many games.

Plus, why take out one of the key factors that sets your system apart from the competetion?

QOL or 3ds with dual analog


Or Wii U redesign.

Has to be one of those 3.

because it inceases the price of the console that's selling horrible  by 70-100$.  these key facotors are not helping at all, its selling far worse then any of nintendo's main consoles.

I don't think we'll see new hw from nintendo at e3. Wii u redesign is possible, but I don't think it'll happen.

$99 Gamecube didn't save it.

It's about how the games appeal to the mass market.

I hope it is a 4G 3DS that connects to the cellular network. I would give them $500 that day, and drop my current phone. This is the only thing I want from one of the big 3. PS4 and XBO have already satisfied my need for an all in one entertainment hub.

Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

at this point, nothing is gonna save the wiiu imo, but at least it has a chance to match the GC in sales, it's currently 3.5 million behind.
