Iwata Says:

"As for the details of exactly what it will be, we have decided that it is best to let people experience it for themselves at E3. So I won’t talk about specific details today, but it will offer a new way of playing games within the home."

"We would like to propose a new approach to home video game consoles. It’s difficult to make 3-D images a key feature, because 3-D televisions haven’t obtained wide acceptance yet."

There's going to be some sort of motion control.

That would be pretty awesome if I called it...3D that is. Still, even I don't really see the practicality of it. Might as well pick up a 3DS.

"3D not a focus for the system", says CEO. "System being released because developers having hard time delivering surprises on Wii."
Whatever surprises Nintendo has in store for the system, 3D may not be one of them. Iwata also said that "considering that 3D televisions have yet to spread widely, making 3D into a central point of the system would be difficult."
source

So I wouldn't really count on 3D being a feature, but you never know. They don't need a 3DTV with screen in the controller afterall, but that kinda steps all over the 3DS considering a majority of people play their handhelds while at home even if intended to be played when away from the house.

It's possible that a 3D Cafe controller could complement a 3DS and really push Nintendo as the innovators of 3D in the home especially if it allows a much cheaper way for the family to view 3D TV & Movies with their own personal screen w/o the use of glasses.

....Now that I think about it, that would be a major blow to Sony and the overly expensive 3DTV movement. That could be a really good play on Nintendo's part, especially if they include a modified (no royalty) Bluray Drive and allow the end-user to pay the licensing fee to play Bluray movies.

The 3D screen is the most expensive part of the 3DS. I doubt they move it to something like a controller this soon. As a later upgrade maybe.

I would but man that's 2AM central. If I can't sleep I'll be on.

If you don't join the chat tonight, you'll regret it on your death bed.

I don't understand the idea of Chat...is there a live stream or something?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #34 on:** April 25, 2011, 04:49:30 PM »

I think there is a live stream so all shareholders can listen in around the world. I need a URL. Insanolord please NINTENDO WORLD REPORT A URL

Drizzt · « **Reply #35 on:** April 25, 2011, 04:54:03 PM »

I heard somewhere that the controller can be used as a sensor bar. Does that mean that this system won't use motion control and instead only require a wiimote for the sake of reverse compatability?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 25, 2011, 05:02:04 PM »

I'm sure the controller will still have motion capability and you will be able to use the tablet like controller like a steering wheel for Mario Kart or a tiltable surface for a Marble Madness like game.

and I just posted an idea for the IR in the controller here:

Playable at E3? I don't think they'll try for a summer or later launch. I think we'll see another Feb/March launch worldwide the same way the Nintendo 3DS was launched this year. This holiday being focused on the 3DS and the last push for the Wii. Then come next year in Feb/March it will launch so the early adopters can buy. Then everyone else once the big named games come out during the holiday later that year. The Wii will still sell outside of Japan the same way the PS2 continued to sell but the focus will be on the new system at the very start of next year.

I'm already putting money away from this and for several games. I'm there day one as long as I can get my preorder in. I just hope they include both old school controller and a updated version of the Wii remote.

Hey @michaelpachter, could you imagine if Rockstar announced GTAV at Nintendo's E3 press conference? Man, wouldn't that be something.

So what do I think about E3 this year?

3DS 2H 2012 & Holiday titles
Wii2/Cafe reveal and games
NGP launch details and games
2nd Gen Move + Kinect Games
Possible Xbox720 teaser?
info on Zelda SS launch & DQX details?

My vacation is going to cover the days of E3 again. I'm making sure I'm doing nothing those days but watching the streams. I wish Directv still had G4TV for moments like this but oh well.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #41 on:** April 25, 2011, 06:55:57 PM »

That is a great GIF. where is it from?

MaryJane · « **Reply #42 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:10:12 PM »

This is pretty cool, and I'm near salivating for E3 now. The controller having a touchscreen, also solves the issue of having a DSPlayer. It would be great if you could simply insert a DS/3DS game into the controller, and also use the respective systems as a controller. Having said that, I hope they don't abandon 'wand & nunchuck' games.

Nintendo Wii Stream... Cafe... uh Wii2 will be playable by all E3 attendees

Quote

Nintendo's confirmation this morning that they'll be showing their new console at E3 left many unanswered questions, but also raised a note of skepticism. The company's statement on the Wii successor promises "a playable model" of the machine at E3 in June. But would Nintendo just play it on stage and leave attendees to gawk? No. "Playable means playable by everyone," a spokesperson for Nintendo told Kotaku today. Presumably, "everyone" means "everyone who shows up at E3 and maybe waits on a line or schedules an appointment." We'll be there in June, playing it.

anyone have a gif of the stream of people rushing to the nintendo booth for e3 2006? that was crazy.

Sony Comments on Cafe: “We’re not afraid of a little coffee stain.”

Quote

Just moments after Satoru Iwata officially confirmed that Wii’s successor will be at E3 this year (and playable at that), I texted my good friend at Sony to see what she thought of Wii 2 and it being at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition.

(After all, it’s in my opinion that such a huge reveal will likely overshadow Sony’s NGP).

Sandy’s text back: “We’re not afraid of a little coffee stain.”

Now those are some fightin’ words!

Made me LOL.

I just hope the $300+ price is false...OR, they are really going to need to AMAZE with it at E3; but if it's a new controller and HD, I don't see how $300+ is justified in 2012.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #49 on:** April 26, 2011, 12:23:46 AM »

Sony makes these dumbass statements every time Nintendo announces something. They never say anything mature or intelligent, so when you read these statements its like they're coming from the 12 year old fanboys that Sony caters to, as opposed to mature rational adults like you'd expect a company to be run by.
