I think I'd rather go to a 'lecture' with S. Miyamoto...

TalkBack / RE: Nintendo Reveals "Third Pillar"!

I personally hope that Nintendo NEVER has their system do anything but gaming. We don't want a media server, DVD player, CD player, radio, PVR, stereo, and etc in our video game system, do we? Especially when the quality of said features is lower than a five year old's expectations. We buy a GAMING system for the GAMES! Others seem to have forgoten/never knew that. Nintendo is the only hardware manufacturing video game company which keeps gaming at it's 'roots'.

You guys keep saying "I can't see how this will work" and other phrases of the like when we only have a few sentences to base our opinions on. Let's just not critisize a product that we know nothing about but the very basics. Just wait untill E3...

...I would have to agree. Come on people, Nintendo knows what they are doing. They make inovative/quality products which at first may suprise you, but are truely great. Unlike other companies who only make products they look good on the surface but really suck when you have time to use them (ie: NGage). Just give 'em a chance.

I will say, though, that this doesn't seem like the usual Nintendo product.

I agree, I'm glad to see that Nintendo continues to inovative while others just pump up the specs and slap a successing number on the end (ie: Playstation consoles). I hope that 3rd parties will give this idea chance. The last thing Nintendo needs is a failure.

One thing that I have questions about is this: How exactly will this system complement the others? To me, it seems like a GBA [SP] successor. I suppose connectivity between this system and the Cube/GBA is likely.

As for this following the road of the VB, I would sure hope not. I believe that Nintendo has had their share of mistakes and luckily has always recovered. Most of their failed attempts (No, the Gamecube is NOT a failure you XBOX fan boys) took place in the SNES era. The VB, the modem adaptor, the BS-X, etc. All of these were before there time or just were crappy ideas. The world is ready for this idea (and probably was in the SNES era as well) and I think that with proper marketing and 3rd party support it can be a great success.

I think many of us have learned from TWW not to quickly dismiss Nintendo's ideas but to give them a chance. So I say that we just be open to the idea and let's see what the Big N has in store this time around.

Also, I can easily see this as a 3D system. Having 1 GBit media storage is completely outragous for anything but that.

[How's that for a first post!]
