New Console to possibly be revealed at E3

More powerful than a PS3, 360, and a locomotive. What new wonders will Nintendo show us? Stay tuned.

Leave me off that damn train.

If I get hyped like I was for the Wii I'm just going to be dissapointed, like I was with the Wii for the first year or so that I had it.

Still, This should be intresting.

I've decided that I'm gonna fuel the hype train with glorious, pointless, random delicious fun silly liquid Schwartz levels of hypedom!

Ahem...

IF THIS SYSTEM IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A PS3 OR 360, NINTENDO CAN FINALLY FINALLY MAKE THAT POKEMON MMO GAME WE ALL WANT, AND THUS RULE THE WORLD!  8)

Who doesn't love trains? 8)
(for that matter, who doesn't love Twilight Princess and Excite Truck as launch titles?)

HD for quite some time has been a matter of when rather than if with Nintendo.  Miyamoto himself said around NSMBWii's release that he wants to see Mario in HD.  It's just a matter of when Nintendo is convinced that it's cheap and mainstream enough to not be punishing those who aren't yet on board.
EDITS: Incidentally, I'd be hard-pressed to say they were wrong.  Microsoft and Sony were just a bit premature, which left them with some console production cost woes.  Sony, especially (Microsoft swims in money thanks to Windows).  Nintendo being a game-exclusive company, that's not a misstep that they could afford to make.  The flipside, of course, is that in the long-run Nintendo is under the most pressure to release new hardware.

And hopefully Nintendo will be paying close attention to the 3DS network structure - what works and what still needs tweaking - when they're ironing out their new system.  It's already trouncing Wii in terms of response time when managing friends, and I know they're getting ready to kick their previous shop system in the behind.  But there's still the typical Nintendo lack of communication.  What good does it do to see what game a friend is playing, if you still can't tell whether they're actually looking for an online match without starting up the game on your end?  Some kind of messenger is needed there.

Well, consider me sold already, I just pray to god the damn thing isn't literally twice as expensive here like it's brother the 3DS =/

As long they announce this AFTER announcing Xenoblade and Last Story (and whatever wii games for this year for the last Hurrah for the Wii, and DS...I hope Soma Bringer is announced as well).

Then i'm game.

And thus the 8th console generation begins.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

Just wait for a price drop or create a backlog of games you'll want till you feel ready to get the console.

That's what I always do.  I got my PS3, PSP, DS and Wii pretty late.

Wii came out on 2006, GC came out on 2001, N64 on 1996, SNES on 1991, and the NES 1985.

That's 6 years between NES->SNES, and 5 years for everything else. This would be the longest between Nintendo consoles since the NES->SNES so you really can't complain or say that you didn't see this coming.

Last time "rumors" were out we got the 3DS.
So I see little reason not to believe 'em this time.

Something tells me that this might be more than just a Wii 2. I wonder what they'll call it.

Perhaps the Nintenterprise?

No worries, Wanda. This is slated for 2012 I believe, so there's still time to pick up your 3DS.

Man I hope the Nintenterprise connects with the 3DS well.

- Blu-ray as the main optical drive
This confuses me to no end

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

Well there's no reason why Sony wouldn't help make themselves money, in theory.

Boldly going where no Nintendo console has gone before? I'm down with that.

Actually, Sony doesn't own Blu-Ray.

It's owned by the Blu-Ray Disc Association
