Nintendo Confirms New Console In 2005

Posted by timothy on from the long-range-thinking dept.

GweeDo writes "It is official. Nintendo will be releasing their next console right along side Sony's PS3 in 2005. The news was released here by cube.ign.com. They also went on to say that Retro Studies is working on a Prequel to Metroid Prime. The best quote to all you people that said Nintendo was leaving the console market is this: 'Iwata emphasized Nintendo's plans to stick in the console industry by saying, "When we withdraw from the home game console, that's when we withdraw from the video game business."'"

    "Remember the censorship of BMX XXX that Sony forced upon Acclaim?"
    Yes, I do. What's your point? I wasn't claiming that Sony was some great corporation who's been doing great things for humanity, now was I? Post something relevant.

    You are already trying to impress us with your "oh-so -cool not trying to impress anyone" attitude.

    So you're not impressing anyone. :-)

    If it's Miyamoto, the games will degrade in complexity if anything. You could probably fit him on a 64kb rom chip, that cat's a one-trick pony.

    Yeah, he's a great designer, but so is the guy who made Tetris. They both recycled the hell out of the dynamics of their games until they just refused to be interesting. There's only so many Marios one can play in a lifetime, or so many ways to manipulate falling blocks into solid rows. Ultimately I think Miyamoto is overrated, and he's lost his touch.

    All you Nintendoids can chime in and flame me now, but consider carefully what Nintendo has done at the hands of Miyamoto. He's killing the company slowly...people want something new, something exciting...new worlds and new gameplay styles, and he just can't do it like he used to. Maybe it's time to retire, Miyamoto.
