GameCube Successor For E3 2005?

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday February 11, 2004 @11:41AM from the we-were-always-coming-back dept.

Yorrike writes "An article over at GamesIndustry.biz states that, contrary to previously debunked rumors, Nintendo is preparing its next-generation console for public view at E3 2005, which is only 15 months away. From the article: 'Minagawa went further than that, however, giving a bit of insight into the company's thinking on the next-generation N5 platform: 'Like our Nintendo DS portable game machine, our home game machine must offer an experience that can be enjoyed by adults, children, or women,' he commented, and then revealed that 'we would like to show this at E3 next spring.''."

Maybe this time they'll be able to avoid some of the mistakes that have plagued the Gamecube, such as too much focus on first-party software and not enough focus on third, lack of DVD playability (let's face it, there's no good reason for them to make their game discs that small), not enough focus on online games, etc. Nintendo learned some pretty tough lessons from the GC, let's just hope that they apply those lessons as needed.
And by the way; "Children, adults, and women?"
