Nintendo's Next gen console, Will use Blu-ray discs?



Nintendo has confirmed that their next generation console will be available at E3, this year. That is only about one month away, so we don't have long until we get to see this awesome new console. They have said it will be playable at the event.

The console is rumored to use blu-ray discs, stream video to four 1080p controllers at the same time (that's like processing four games at the same time!) and each of these controllers will have HD 1080p Touch screens. The new console is going to be far more powerful than the 360 or PS3 to handle these amazing features!

The time is soon...

Nintendo's next-gen console 'called Stream'



Nintendo's next-gen console is very likely going to be called Stream. (IGN made a joke of - let's just hope its not called the Wii Stream... Eww!) Anyway, I'm sure people will still make that joke, even if it's just called Stream. People will have a Wii and then a Stream...

In all honesty, I don't think IGN's concept of the controller is right. I think that it will be more like a tablet (like the Ipad) than a controller. It probably won't have buttons, but who knows. I just think that it would be freaking huge if it had all those buttons around a six-inch screen...
Nonetheless, this new name is because of the way the console will stream to four different controllers - 1080p videos right on the controllers themselves. These controllers will be touchscreen tablet controllers and probably will be 6-inch screens.

The hardware in this new system has to be powerful to put out four different 1080p videos at the same time (like running four different games at the same time!). So it, of course, is far more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3!

This game system will also have easy portability from the 360 and PC, so that means we may see a lot of games be on only PC, 360 and Stream, soon; this will leave Sony in the dark, like their PSN outage did to use PS3 users...

Nintendo's Next gen Console, Cost, Specs, Design and Release Date



The next gen console from Nintendo is already coming soon, and is expected to be announced next month at E3 or something around then.

Here are some of the feature of the new system:

  • $350 - $400 dollar cost, based on manufacturing costs
  • Controller with HD (1080p) Touchscreen (Able to Stream split screen games to four different controllers, so people don't have to look at one screen split into four - they'll have their own personal screen on the controller!)
  • Better hardware than the PS3 and 360 (Expect releases to now be on all three companies' consoles! And for more exclusives for this new system, that can't be handled by the 360 or PS3!)
  • Release date between October - November
  • Name Pending for the Console (Codenamed : Project Cafe)
  • According to my source, it will look like a more modernized version of the Super Nintendo

I can't wait until we get our hands on this amazing sounding console! :D

Nintendo, Wii Successor Console, Will Arrive when it is announced



The Wii Successor, Nintendo's next gen console, has been accidentally confirmed, it seems. Shigeru Miyamoto was asked about the new next gen console; he said that the console 'will arrive when it is announced.' He seems to have accidentally confirmed the console, but we already knew about it anyway, so who cares.

The new next gen console will have an awesome controller; the controller will have an HD screen on it and be shaped kind of like a PSP. This will allow for split screen games to give each player a 1080p view of only their split of the screen, instead of everyone just looking at four small screens on one television.

I can't wait until the next console comes out, and I hope all of those rumors about the controller are true! This would make it far better than those terrible motion controlled systems, like the PS3, Wii and 360... They are all embracing too much of these new types of controls, I think. However, the new console will be backwards compatible with all Wii and GameCube games, according to rumor. Also, it will have better hardware than the PS3 or 360.
