Top banana.

I wonder if an Advance Wars type game might work with it? That series could really use bringing back, with swanky new graphics and such.


That would be amazing. You could even have the handhelds broadcasting an overview map to the TV as an option during multiplayer.


This sounds exactly like what BF Battlelog is or some other app gooseberry fool that takes you eyes off the TV. It's simply awful to use and unnecessary.

Not so much of an issue during a turn-based game, no?

Nintendo need to hire you, me and Jawa. We got this gooseberry fool down.

Do we think that the rumors about Nintendo getting into odd-shaped screens (circular and such) will bear fruit? An improved Pro controller with a touch pad in the middle, like the PS4 controller, but it's a screen too, maybe?

I suspect that may be more related to the QoL stuff. It's most likely for some wearable tech, I reckon.

Quite possibly. Could be a fancy version of the Pokewalker! :lol:

Still, out of the three companies, they are the only ones pushing new control schemes and new ways of interacting with games. The other two are more progressive in other areas - online infrastructure for one - but it is important that we keep trying new things in games and not just accepting that the 360 pad or the GC controller is the pinnacle of gaming controls and nothing will surpass it. We might get failures (though I wouldn't call the gamepad a failure; it is just a control method that is part of a failing console, so never saw the attention or innovation it deserved) but it is important to keep trying.

Besides, the Wii U offers more control options and methods than any other console, so it is a bit much to complain on that front. Only the PC offers more.

Do Nintendo push new control schemes or do they just release new controllers? When E3 rolls around it will have been four years since Nintendo showed the Wii U concept to the public. Since then how many unique games has the Wii U control scheme enabled? If you look at their biggest games last year I can't think of any that would only be possible on Wii U. They seemed to launch with a handful of neat ideas in Nintendoland but they haven't done a huge amount since. At this stage the Gamepad could be filed alongside the Playstation Move and second gen Kinect as technology that could have enabled new types of games but only led to a handful of fun curiosities. Probably most like the second Kinect as MS/Nintendo both pushed up their console prices to include these controllers in gambles that didn't work out all that well.

I imagine that they would be solid stand-alone systems, just fine on their own, but, better together.


Boom, there's your advertising slogan.

Clarification - smash wiiu allows 8 player local multiplayer games, if you have eight controllers, with no need for nunchucks if you don't have them.

Best multiplayer experience ever? I think so...

Can all controllers be Wiimotes? I thought some had to be the old GC controllers through an adapter.

In an eight-player battle, the following controllers can be used.
- Wii U GamePad (maximum: 1)
- Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus* (maximum: 7)
- Wii U Pro Controller (maximum: 7)
- Nintendo GameCube Controller** (maximum: 8)
- Nintendo 3DS or 2DS system*** (maximum: 8)

Murmurings that they'll use Android as the operating system for the nx, if true it does cry out the portability aspect of the console signalling a fusion home/portable console I'm thinking of the nVidia Shield as an example for the nx's architecture with specs in the same ball park as the Wii U still nowhere near the X1/PS4

The choice of operating system means nothing about the hardware itself. Android is specifically designed to run on a huge range of architectures and performance levels. It is meant to be flexible and multi-purpose.

Exactly why I think it's going to be a home/portable hybrid console.
