Just make a normal console please...No gimmicks..

Thinking about it, Nintendo hasn't made a normal console since Sony entered the ring.


so... the n64 and Gamecube aren't "normal" consoles huh? give me a break.

Oops i meant after the N64, when Sony entered was their last but i guess nothing really wrong with the Gamecube either aside that they used mini-disc.  I'm likely just being nit-picky but the Wii and Wii U are way off from normal compared to their competitors.

The Wii U was at $199 for a brief period yet that still didn't help them unfortunately, but it helped me =P

As far as I'm concerned they are normal consoles which are tyring to evolve gaming. Its not just about graphics and power all the time.

I like the gamepad when its actually useful like in Mh3U but in games like DK TF its just cumbersome to play when it does practically nothing.

Well that's your concern then.  I have mine and so does Teeqoz (the person I originally quoted from as you can see he too wants a "normal" console). 

Dont try to start something that's based on your own opinion.  Lets just end it at that.

so next gen will have two whopping gamepads to use instead of just one? Doesnt seem worth it IMHO


I can see multiplayer aspects benefitting from this especially co-op games and we may see 4 Tabs tbh, the U is like 2-3 times the power of the previous gen while the PS4 and X1 are like 12 times the power so even if their next console is only twice the power of the PS4 in the next gen they'll easily have the hardware to run with multiple Tablet controllers as the hardware needed to do it is already in use this gen.

I agree with Spemanig that we'll see a revision in design but the Tablet is going to be standard as unlike the Wiimote it doesn't hamper traditional play at all I even use it to play Bayonetta 2 with no trouble.

You are missing my point. Im not arguing that there is no benefit. thats really irrelevant. Im arguing that it seems really expensive to get it to a place that doestn suck. How long has the Wii U been out? you still cant buy the pad seperate and there is no firmware to allow for more than one. Even if they did all what you said they will still end up with a system that might be too expensive for a Ninty console.

By the time the next gen arrives that tech will be cheap though especially with how fast tech is moving now days, picture how much PS4 specs will be by then I doubt they'll need to go much higher then that to make it practical, if anything it'll be around the same price as the U is now.



drop/// and sell a separate gamepad in 3D to be able to play all nintendo disc/cartridge....



Switch!!!
