One suggestion that seems reasonable coming from the nintendojo.com boards is that it will be some sort of nostalgia console that will allow you to play all past Nintendo games on it similar to the iQue. Because of the wait and hype over this thing I'll probably be disappointed no matter what it is though unless it's the Nintendo Matrix.

I doubt they would make a system like that. They would have a hard time finding the parts for the Famicoms, for one thing. I guess they could have old games online to download, since they obviously make good roms, as seen in the perfect ports of the NES games in AC.

What are you talking about? Why would they need parts for the Famicom?

If they were indeed making a system that played old games, you would have to get the old hardware that played the games. Nobody makes the parts for NES or Super NES anymore.

If it is my online theory, i wonder what games are slated to be released around Spring. Metroid, although i dont know what multi-player would add. Maybe Pokemon, or is that out already? They already are making games LAN enabled, so maybe those would be part of it. And wasn't Game Zero supposedly rumored to be a MMORPG? Or registered as such? Or maybe it was MMO shooter, but i do remember hearing it was online, in rumor mills, of course.. Oh well, enough rumor mongering for the day. My other question for those that say its too late to implement online this generation-why? Cant the network just rollover to the N5?

Gee God forbid they, I don't know, MAKE NEW PARTS. Actually I believe both consoles were still manufactered in Japan until recently. I would buy such a device on the first day of release. I've never had an NES so it would be cool to be able to play everything without hooking multiple devices to the TV. However to make such a device it would have to be pretty big to accomdate the different controller ports and cartridge slots.

while it is very unlikely that nintendo is planning on releasing a console that can play older games, it would be kinda cool. i would definately consider picking one up. especially because i'm far too lazy to dig up my old nes and snes.

i remember reading a while back that nintendo stopped servicing the nes at the beginning of this year, so it might make sense (in a weird nintendo sort of way) that they would stop repair work on the nes because they were going to release a new console that could play those games.

also, a "new and exciting product" would most likely be a console/controller/etc rather than a game. i don't consider a game to be a product. maybe that's just me. or it could be an issue with translation.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 02, 2003, 08:39:44 AM »

It wont be a console with backwards compatibility or whatever. Too much licecses to dig up and law suits to be had.

Yeah, why is Nintendo making so many games LAN capable? They didn't build the feature into the GameCube like PS2 or X-Box, and now they're pushing it like crazy. Imagine if they made software that let older GameCube games go online, like Smash Brothers. The only thing that would hinder Nintendo going online is the user base, but with the PS2's user base you would expect a higher percentage of online players, yet it is relatively small. If someone can make a killer app for online, it's Nintendo.

If any game was to go online on GC, Starfox 2 would be the perfect game. And Mario Tennis. But i doubt Nintendo will go online this gen.

I must have missed all that LAN promotion Nintendo did then, oh well.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #36 on:** December 02, 2003, 09:33:37 AM »

I suspect the Nintendo Thwomp!(TM). Floats in the air until something gets under it and... THWOMP!
This surprise announcement is either overhype or it's something that original we can't even imagine it yet (even though we might think "d'Oh! Why didn't I think of that?" afterwards).
Hey, maybe they're going to release an android? Cooks, cleans, stops alien invasions and plays Nintendo games!

Just Nintendo implementing LAN is a huge transistion for them. Frankly, we all know promotion was not Nintendos strength until the last 3 months.

i know. IT is a new attachment for the gamecube. Through the bottom you would be able to connect the new.....NINTENDO GRILL! Think about that, can a PS2 or an Xbox grill you a hamberger while you play? I think not! it would give nintendo a true lead in the console race.

P.s. If i had photoshop or something like that i would merge a picture of a gamecube and a george forman grill. But i dont. If anyone does that would be really cool!

Berny · « **Reply #40 on:** December 02, 2003, 10:42:28 AM »

About the best I can do is cut out a forman grill paste it to a picture of a Gamecube and scan it into my pooter. Is that ok?

Polemistis · « **Reply #41 on:** December 02, 2003, 04:22:24 PM »

My guess is that it will be some new enhancement for the gamecube which will lead up to the N5. O! Maybe it will also have some connectivity with another Nintendo product, present or future, as they like experimenting with connectivity.

I got an email from nonjagged, who was apparently banned for writing MS like M$, regarding this. It was about holograms or cheap laptops or something.

okay this is a message for stell

well, u know how u said that its the donkey konga controller? and that "nobody" knows about it in the us really except people who found it out on the net. well, sorry to break it to u, but there are things called "magazines". whoa. like, donkey konga was mentioned in egm already and im sure other magazines as well. people dont find things out at "the OFFICIAL" announcement. and the thing is revolutionary as nintendo has stated so it cant be the controller because the samba de amigo controller has already done it. so ya.

but i wonder what the new product really will be. as u all know(or i hope u all know) it is hardware that is not related to the gamecube or gameboy or console gaming. so it cant be the next console. as mentioned earlier, it IS probably a kitchen utility of some sort.

jesus people... its the revival of the Nintendo Cereal System, except (here's the kicker) now with a thrid compartment featuring Pokemon (TM) themed pieces... talk about nostalgia

Nin-ten-do, it's for breakfast now!

It'll be Nintendo's announcement to enter the porno industry with famous characters, such as Samus, Princess Peach, and Daisy.

no, im sorry strell but the thing is, tet tKonga controller has already been shown in the newest EGM. Its Page 36 if your interested in checking it out for yourself. also on page 108, Game Informer has a preveiw of Donkey Konga and the controller is mentioned.
