Forums - Nintendo - Do you think Nintendo´s next system could finally be "the new SNES"?

Nintendo is a company that evolves and the concept of gaming evolves with them. The SNES was a stage that I highly doubt they will go back to. If gaming is to go to the next level...it wont without Nintendo's creative genius.

 

 Damn straight.  Never has, never will. 

@Hunter_Alien: True enough.  Games will have made up a very significant portion of that, though.

@JGarrett: Who knows?  But strong sales of games on the iPhone, combined with a fanbase and ideology that's very similar to that of Nintendo's current main audience, would be a strong indicator.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It depends on if they go HD or stay as SD.
And what MS and SONY decide to do.

If there are 2 HD consoles, then they will get the main 3rd party support.
2 SD consoles, then they will get the most.

If all 3 are either SD or HD, then the market leader will get the most.

The new SNES is already here, it's called the DS.

 They announced before the Wii even came out that the Wii's successor would be in HD.  The question, however, still remains as to whether there will be a massive difference in processing power between all the game systems.

I think that no, there won't be.  In five or six years, it will be quite a simple affair to make something significantly more powerful than the PS3 or 360 for a relatively low cost.  That, combined with Microny seeing Nintendo's successful business plan this generation, will probably mean that they'll revise their plans for their next machines.  They won't be wanting to go billions into the red again in the next generation, especially in this economy.

The result (if something doesn't come out of left feield, such as all of them switching to an OnLive-like service which would make processing power a moot point) would likely be that the jump for all systems will be significantly bigger than that of Gamecube to Wii, but probably not as huge as the one from Xbox to 360 or PS2 to PS3.

In short, I find there's a high likelihood that they'll all be roughly equal in power, similar to the last generation.

The Wii is now a few months away from turning 3 years old, and despite being the market leader, outselling both HD systems on a regular basis, it still doesn´t have  a library worthy of the clear leader...now, opinions are opinions, and there are a lot of people who prefer the Wii´s library over the others, but what I mean by the title is in relation to the effort and consideration 3rd parties have always given to previous market leaders.

 

Is this you not liking the library or just assuming everyone doesn't like the Wii's library?

Pick any genre and the Wii has the best or near best to offer.

Can you please tell me what these games are.  The only one i can think of is Platformer and even then SMG is not great.

EDIT: actually i was wrong about SMG, LBP walks all over it.  So now you have no genre with any possible games that can match the other consoles.

 

I could waste time writing my response again, but I'll just point you to this thread.  I have a respone here where the only things that the Wii isn't the top are shooters and RPG's. 

I didn't list shooters as the top because the Wii isn't the top shooter but that doesn't mean it has good ones (notice I also said near best).  I didn't list RPG's because I don't know Wii RPG's that well but someone else lists very many good ones later in the thread so that's the other near best one.

And I'm sorry, but Little Big Planet is not nearly as great as people make it out to be.  It's an average platformer with a decent level editor and an excellent art style.  To say it's better than Super Mario Galaxy is only foolish and about as stupid as saying the PS3 has no games.

You list is like a horrible joke full of bad games that only a wiifanboys would declare better then anything on the other systems.

And SMG is a busted game with bad controls and bad camera. With average platforming which cannot compete with the ratchet series or any of the 2D mario's.

I think it has 'the potential', but we really need to wait and see the specifics of everyone's next offerings, as well as if we'll see any new players. If Apple were to enter the ring (remember, the iPhone just sold it's BILLIONTH game), then there could be a SERIOUS upset.

No... there where over one billion softwares downloaded from the app-store... that includes free software and not just games of course ;)

QFT.

Anyway, as for the OP, dunno, no-one does and no-one will know until that generation rolls around.

I must have had a fixed copy along with every other reviewer out there because I don't remember busted controls or a busted camera.

Seriously, I doubt a game with something as major as busted controls or a busted camera would average a 97 on Metacritic.
