Forums - Gaming - Nintendo E3 Rumors

There will be no big news released all at once, Nintendo loves to trickle out information a tidbit at a time Last year´s E3 showed a looooooooooot of stuff, I expect even more this time, specially from 3rd parties. And about the racing preferences, DKR for the single player and soundtrack ( and it marked the debut of Banjo, I think), MK64 for the multiplayer.

That is for a single, "demo" application - stored in memory only. Once you turn your DS off its gone. This digital distribution thingo (be it a special cart, or a new model of DS) would permanently store FULL sized titles in your DS. They would also be DRM protected, to prevent people copying them to other DS's (although they may come with demo versions that you could upload).

...

Anyway, after thinking about it more - I can't see Nintendo intentionally disrupting the handheld space any further (for now anyway). The market is exactly where they want it to be - easily outselling all competitors with hardware, and killing them with software.

I like the idea of a new/enhanced Wiimote (or some other accessory) more than anything else.

Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:

"That reminds me, what do you think is better, Crash Team Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, or any of the Mario Kart games?" only retards like crash racing and Diddy racing better than mario kart. lol*joke*

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Secondly why in their right mind would Nintendo anounce a new console or portable with their two relatively new systems selling so well? That would be bad business. Even if they were set on making a Wii HD or something along them lines, I feel that's at least 2 years away from being shown. Why show it off now when they can't keep this one on the shelves?


Well this could be a strategy to get sony out of the gaming market... Imagine, if they would release a new gameboy with similar hardware as the psp as a third console (and they always said that the ds isn't the successedor of the gameboy, but a third console line) they could destroy the psp if it sells well. if it wouldn't sell well, they may would lose some money, but they wouldn't do much harm to themselves because they could introduce a new ds in two or three years.

I don't think that they will do this, but I always felt it's suspicious that they didn't call the ds a successedor of the gameboy.

They would not destroy anything, it would be bad to do this it would split their market share, they are already outselling the PSP, trying to imitate it will not fair well at all...

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

If done right, it would split nothing. The nitendo fanboys would get both (they already own a ds anyway) while the casuals would stick with the ds. the new gameboy would mainly attract home console gamers that haven't bought a handheld this generation yet, which are also the target of the psp.
