why would they put an SSD instead of a standard HDD? and i dont believe 90% of the third party list. but then again they mentioned pc and 360 ports were easy in that dodgy screenshot.


If this was true (not claiming that it is) I would expect that by SSD they mean a flash card (or multiple flash cards) built into the system. The reason for this is that flash is very small, energy efficient, reliable and inexpensive to manufacture which means that (while it might be as expensive as a hard-drive initially) adding 64GB or 128GB of disc space would cost very little by the middle of the generation.


a flash card?

i thought SSD was solid state drive....like a faster, stronger and much expensive version of HDD?

While, in pc equipment a solid state drive is a very specific item, it is actually a fairly generic term; and a flash drive can be considered a type of solid state drive. Hypothetically speaking, you could take multiple chips from inside of a flash card and mount them on a mother board to produce a very large and fast "hard-drive" if you wanted to; and if you're planning to sell tens of millions of systems and licence the technology entirely upfront (making the per-unit cost effectively the pure manufacturing cost) it could be quite inexpensive.

ahhh...i see.

Can't say I believe all of it either, however if the backwards compatibility, tech-specs (2gb of RAM!), and...

 

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)

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

Activision:
- Modern Warfare 3 (video)

Konami:
- Metal Gear title (video)

 

...are true, then I couldn't be happier and this would be Nintendo's best E3 ever by a wide margin.

It's obviously fake. While most of it can't be proven false, we should all know that EA won't be showing 2013 sports titles in Summer 2011 when the 2012 titles aren't even out yet. They've barely begun development, and video doesn't release until about six months before release.

This all sounds like every Nintendo lovers wet dream. I don't buy the online part for example. This is more a list of what they should do than what the will do. Hopefully most of this is true though especially the SSD part, all games should be played from the HDD, period.

I think Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy are scarsly belieable, also I doubt Nintendo has so many 1st party games ready to be shown at e3 The other 3rd party titles may be plausible, as long as they're not exclusives...after all the development costs are very high, publishers may want to put those games on as many platforms as they can. The Metal Gear Solid title may simply be MGS Rising, and it's not an exclusive so far. Still I think most of these rumors are false.
