So is that a prediction for E3 next year? The big next gen reveal?

If it isn't I'm gonna get a new f*cking hobby.

It's a little worrying that the Wii U is only coming now that next-gen consoles are on the horizon. Is Nintendo going to be stuck a generation behind everybody else?

I know that they were with the Wii. I'm just wondering when they're going to catch up.

[Peanut]

At this point? Probably never.

If the Wii U tanks and they'll have to come up with a new business strategy.

Their handhelds have always been inferior graphically to the competition yet held up fine. The Gameboy destroyed the Game Gear, and the GBA and DS had fantastic libraries. Even though the PSP sold well, its game library is absolutely abysmall compared to the DS's.

The Vita is currently bombing in every country while the 3DS is on track to outsell the DS at this point.

Sometimes I wonder if Nintendo should go handheld only if the Wii-U fails. Especially now that the 3DS is as powerful as the Gamecube/Wii.

i'd mentioned that myself once before.

but can they still go strong just focusing on the handheld market alone, when the Iphone and Ipad offer way cheaper games with just as good graphics as on the 3DS?

LOL! What the ****!?

Oh jesus.

Know what games look exactly the same? Angry Birds and f*cking Luigi's mansion.

Clown idiot.

[Redeemer]

ass-hole sense is tingling

[Peanut]

Spider sense detects danger, not spiders. It's called a spider sense because he's Spider-Man. What you're telling me is you have asshole sense, there for you must be Asshole-Man, with the power of an asshole.

I ****ing love Peanut. He says things I think before I can type them.

You know, just because the Iphone/Ipad/Iwhatever games can have graphics just as good 3DS games doesn't mean that they're better games. A game can have beautiful graphics yet have horribad gameplay, I don't know why so many people think that graphics mean everything in a game. Most of those Iphone games are as cheap as they are because they're rudimentary games that are good for playing for a few minutes while you're bored, but they certainly aren't a complete gaming experience like Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil: Revelations, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, etc.

[The Stryker]

Don't mention complete gaming experience and RE:Revelations in the same statement.

I thought it was good, but we all have our own opinions. My point is that the 3DS offers longer and more developed gaming experience in comparison to the typical cheap Iphone game.

[CyberCubed]

I only have 5 3DS games:

Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Kart 7
Kid Icarus Uprising
Zelda OOT
Starfox 64


And two of them are remakes of games from 13-14 years ago. I just watched Nintendo's 3DS presentation, New Super Mario Bros. 2 looks almost exactly like the previous two, they're even rehashing the same horrible music in the levels.

I never thought Nintendo would rehash 2D Mario as if it were Madden, but here we are with 4 different 2D "New" Mario titles that all look almost exactly the same.

[Peanut]

Nintendo is in a bad spot. After the astronomical success of the Wii and DS its completely mind-blowing to see how they're seemingly ready to collapse under the weight of their own stupidity.
