If this's a WiiHD it came too late

Production of the console started last October (info leaked from Foxcon)

Worst case scenario (other than the price) is a late 2011 release for Japan and a mid 2012 release for the rest of the world. 

They question if NIntendo 1st party developers are capable of HD content (interesting note, all Wii games are developed in HD then downgraded for the Wii)

If this's a middle step like the Dreamcast it's going to be stomped in a couple of years.

Shane believes than Nintendo has something more than just a Wii HD

The price of the control is questioned because a touch screen integrated control'd be really expensive.

Shane believes than Nintendo could put Cafe as the power console for the core and the Wii as the cheap option, like the Ps3 and the Ps2.

Pachter believes than Nintendo should do this in 2009, and whatever NIntendo introduces as inovations is going to be ripped off by Ms and Sony

They don't discard a Twilight Princess situation with Skyword Sword with the Cafe.

Pachter think that Cafe with get 3rd parties support if they can port content easily and not develop something specially for the console.

Shane still thinks that Nintendo needs some 3rd party exclusives.

Jeff complain about the "Launch window" of the 3DS because most of the games that people wanted were placed too far away from the release.

They think that Nintendo isn't going to release price this E3.

Everybody agrees that Nintendo could stole the E3 attention just with the hardware announce (usually hardware announces steals the news)

Note outside Nintendo; according to Pachter Sony isn't below $300 in production cost for the PS3

shane is the same shane from IW right? he is an idiot. really deslike him

anywho good episode I guess, nothing really good tbh, it's mainly guess work on the new ninty console. They should have focused more on their games and 3DS as well.

Think it's shane from gametrailers, could be wrong .. and yeah, far too much focus on Wii 2.

I'd say its good to have the shoe on the other foot for once (given that "too much focus" on Nintendo usually means the focus Nintendo should nominally deserve if not for massive media bias), but all of this Wii2 speculation is effectively anti-Nintendo propaganda, so i'd rather they clam up about it

Somebody asked if Nintendo's developers are capable of doing HD content at the same graphic level as western developers.
