Title: Nintendo to make a new product announement soon
Post by: Mario on September 18, 2003, 02:53:53 AM
Nintendo promises new announcement shortly

18.09.03 - How the Nintendo Dream writes, a new product is to be announced shortly by Nintendo. That communicates the manufacturer in the newest expenditure.

Whether it concerns software or accessories for GC and/or GBA, is unclear.


Ladies and Gentlemen... MEGATON!

Can we just end the Megaton thing?  It happened a long time ago...

I'm thinking Mario 128, that realistic Zelda rumor(being made by Capcom ), or the next Game Boy...

For too long, I've hoped these announcements meant Mario 128, realistic Zelda, or something great along those lines.  Now I've realized the best this will probably be is a new set of E-reader cards that I will have absolutely no interest in.

Cube-Europe

I'm assuming that since Nintendo basically has the specs nearly finalized, that they can start unvieling them to the public. This announcement will probably be the next GBA to take a hit out of the PSP hype that's building.

Do the math.  GB "Future" and the "NES 5" are not set to deliver until 2005.  It's probably too early to start the hype train for either system just yet.

I'm with Bill, it's probably a new game.  A Zelda RPG?  The Zelda sequel?  Paper Mario 2 for GC?  

Hey, anyone heard that the creator of the Res. Evil series has been hired, unoffically, by Nintendo?!
Also, Yuji Naka has also approached Nintendo about doing his own "secret project" for Big N.
I tried to ask him about it at this years E3, but unfortunately he spoke almost NO english.  And suprisingly enough, neither did his translator, lol!  Still, he was an incredibly warm and friendly fellow, just like Miyamoto.

A Zelda RPG bring me shivers, it reminds me about the 3DO garbage, and Zelda 2.
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Mannypon on September 18, 2003, 06:13:21 PM
I want to hear more bout this zelda rpg, if done right it'll be tight as ass cheeks lol.  It doesnt even have to star link as the main character, it can just take place in hyrule and have link as a legend and whatnot.  The posibilities are endless.
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Bill Aurion on September 18, 2003, 06:19:51 PM
I still want a Kingdom Hearts-esque RPG involving Nintendo's world  (Nintendo has the trademark "Mushroom Kingdoms"...WHAT IS IT!? )

A Zelda RPG could work.  You would be Link and you could gain partners(sages, perhaps?) as you went through the game.  However...NO RANDOM BATTLES!  I hate them so much.(Another reason I love ToS...no random battles ^_^)
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Mannypon on September 18, 2003, 06:32:30 PM
that kindom hearts game with nintendo touch would be good too and I hope that mushroom kingdoms thing is really some variation of that.  As for that zelda rpg they can use a few different characters for partners, zelda could prob weild magic or play as sheik, the rock people, a character from the fairy village.  I can just imagine if nintendo desides to create their own original characters too, I'll like to see that.
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on September 18, 2003, 07:38:20 PM
It shall be aptly named, "Kingdom Mushrooms," not "Mushroom Kingdoms" cuz there's only one kingdom.
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Bill Aurion on September 18, 2003, 07:46:26 PM
Ah, but that's the thing.  Nintendo didn't trademark "Mushroom Kingdom" but "Mushroom Kingdoms" Hmmmmmm....

Since it was trademarked quite a while ago(more than a year at least) and we haven't even anything on it leads me to believe that it could be a MMORPG...But I'd rather have my Nintendo World RPG ^_^  
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Djunknown on September 18, 2003, 09:55:08 PM
I'm tempted to ask if Agent Seven can somehow prove that he talked with Naka-san, but I'll have to take his word for it, you always seem to be one step ahead somehow... You'd figure Sega would have some revenue to get some good interpreters but that's veering off topic.

This better not be Megaton 2; I'm guessing something a little smaller like a new exculsive or more specific details about the deal with AOL and Nintendo.
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on September 18, 2003, 09:59:12 PM
It's Megaton 1.5.
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Hybrid Hunter on September 18, 2003, 10:02:05 PM
No more Megaton crap hehe.
Whatever the announcement is i hope its good and worthy!
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Mario on September 18, 2003, 10:20:27 PM
Hehe, its funny how we spell Megaton with a capital letter.

And whats this about "Mushroom Kingdoms"? Can i see a link that points to the existance of this? I dont remember hearing anything about Nintendo trademarking "Mushroom Kingdoms"...?

Anywho, if Nintendo really is releasing a new Gameboy soon, then thats probably the announcement. I wonder what the chances of this announcement being made at TGS are? It would be nice if Nintendo announced something major there and stole the show. I could think up a number of possibilites, but they would all probably be wrong, and we've gone through this a million times before

mmmmm, Megaton
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: PIAC on September 19, 2003, 01:36:55 AM
the Megaton will never die!

tbh, i wouldn't mind a nintendo rip-off of kingdom hearts, bear in mind i haven't actually played kingdom hearts and i only have a small idea of what it is like, any game where i could traverse through all the wonderful worlds of nintendo's franchises in one would be awsome!
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: KDR_11k on September 19, 2003, 03:04:30 AM
I think if they rip off Kingdom Hearts they will get complaints about just that. Also, imagine a Sony Fanboy being able to spout "Nintendo ran out of ideas now it's stealing from the PS2!". Wouldn't want that, now.
Mushroom Kingdom sounds like a game playing in Mario's world, but without Mario. Or the s suggests multiple universes... Mario vs. evil Mario clones! After all, they promised innovation for the next Mario. Maybe Mushroom Kingdoms == Mario 128?
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Bill Aurion on September 19, 2003, 03:57:36 AM
1) What are Sony fanboys to do?  Say that Ninty copied Disney?  Meh...

2) Mario:  I would look for the link, but it happened more than a year ago...It wasn't an announcement, but just someone finding trademarks that companies register.  Like recently someone found that Namco has registered trademarks that sound like more Tales games
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Rich on September 19, 2003, 08:43:53 AM
Well lets see. If Nintendo is going to release the N5 in late 2005 then I would say its a bit early but I would be suprised if they decided to released the new Game Boy in 2004 to compete with the PSP if thats the case then I would be suprised if the released some specs on it like Sony already did. but if they do release some specs then I'm willing to bet that they will also have a design layed out and that would be really cool. Another thing hardware wise that they might release is something that is compatible with that 3rd slot under the Gamecube. They got a internet port and the GB player port and there is one more that I've been dieing to know what it does.

On the software side I would love to see what the hell Game Zero from Zoonami is. that and maybe an agreement with Yugi Naka on a Nintendo project, that and if dead pheonix is still dead pheonix or if it was changed(I don't remeber what game people were talking about but i never played it)

Nintendo's got a lot of secrets out there that they can give us we will just have to see.

Until Sony starts outselling the GBA in units...I don't think Nintendo should release a new Game Boy. The sales are doing great...no use it cutting into it.

I am now 80% sure this announcement is about a portable handheld GameCube.

You saw that stupid rumor floating around, didn't you Mario?

That rumor was bundled with a "PSP will be released in March" rumor...Because of that second one, I just can't believe the first one
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: nolimit19 on September 19, 2003, 05:05:49 PM
hahaha i remember when megaton was around....everyone was just making blind guesses. and some people were saying nintendo was going to release a hard drive and ram expansion with the gba player...some were saying that nintendo was buying capcom, sega and namco....WHAHAHHAHA and everyone was going crazy and thought it was all true...a great learning expirience for me and a lot of other people.....from what i have read, i think it could be the new gameboy....but it does seem early to announce that. who knows lets just wait and see.
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: AgentSeven on September 19, 2003, 05:10:18 PM
Psp will be lucky if it releases in late 2004.  They don't even have real dev kits.  They expect developers to make quality software using a Psp emulator program....They must be kidding.

By the way, my GameCube is already portable, that's why it comes with a handle.
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Mario on September 19, 2003, 05:32:40 PM
Yes, i saw that too... but... thats not why. Thats just from some casual gheymer making assumtions who passed them off as facts methinks. PSP in March, no freaking way. I still think a portable GameCube is in the works though.
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Cap on September 19, 2003, 06:49:37 PM
i think it will be a portable gamecube as well. i just dont see any other choice for nintendo, although i've thought that the plan was always to make the gamecube the next version of gameboy. i remember reading an interview with someone at nintendo around the gamecube launch(i dont remember who it was), where they mentioned when they designed the gamecube they wanted it to be small, and cheap to produce. it just seems like nintendo has been planning this all along.
Title: RE:Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Bill Aurion on September 19, 2003, 07:16:40 PM
I actually wouldn't mind this at all, though there is one problem.  Nintendo said they would have dev kits for their next GB out this winter.  Why would they need new dev kits if they could just use the GC dev kits?  Unless they are going with new media, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

Ninty won't have two handheld hardwares out to compete against each other...
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Rich on September 19, 2003, 07:26:45 PM
hey guys, your forgetting a key Nintendo principal, make it affordable. Do you guys think that shoving all the power of a Gamecube into a GBA with a screen would be cheap. heck no, they aren't gonna go with a portable Gamecube, it would be to expensive and it would eat up a lot of batteries. It would be just like the PSP, which i think will be a total failure just because of its price and battery life.

The announcement will be a game for a popular franchise, but that's about as much as I know at this point.  Stay Tuned.

Mario 128!? Final Fantasy VII thingy?! Donkey Kong something?! Yoshi's Picnic?! Sonic something?! Metal Gear Mario?! Wario Moonshine?! Pokemon Tropical Bubbleicious?! Or... the game we've all been frothing at the mouths for... MARIO PARTY... 6?!

Wait.. new 'product' = game? Or maybe product is a mistranslation?

Intresting.... Rick you say a game for a popular franchise, will that be something like a product based game? or a game series we know all too well? Could it be the oft talked about sequel to FFVII??? or maybe Chrono Trigger ( A real true sequel )  1st party or 3rd?

The Omen~ that's exactly what I was thinking....

Or it could be the elusive Pokemon RPG except for the fact that it's not.

Wario Moonshine is a good guess, but this soon after Wario's World? (or whatever it'scalled)?

Naw....we all know it's a new Shaq Fu game.

Game huh?  

As I said before, Super Mario 128, New Zelda game, or even FFVII is looking more and more likely.  I would personally like to see Kid Icarus myself
Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: KnowsNothing on September 20, 2003, 05:46:33 AM
Well, I'd LOVE for FFVII to come out, remake, port, whatever.  You see, I bought this game from Gmaestop only to find 5 months later, when i pretty much first played it, that it was broken.  I never bought a new one.  I REALLY want this game.

Personally I hope it is a new game or something because I dont want to buy new hardware. I love gamecube as a system and i dont need to buy all new accessories for a new system

backwards compatible would be the best thing ever.

Post by: Stimutacs Addict on September 20, 2003, 06:10:44 AM
As for Mushroom Kingdoms: I would think that this is another name for Nintendo's Online world.. back in the days of the "StarCube" someone had an interesting Idea that Nintendo's online community would be named and created as a true community with different places (bearing Nintendo Trademark names) serving as the forum, chat room, gaming area, etc. [i.e. Hyrule Castle is the chat room, blah blah blah]



Now, what I would like to see is an online Zelda game, maybe not featuring Link, but instead you could be of the different races (Goron, Gerudo, Zora, Sheikah, Kokiri [though Kokiri can't leave the forest.. oh well they could find away around that], or Hylian)

And maybe the game could take place after Zelda: The Adventure of Link, when Hyrule starts rebuilding, and the Kokiri could be more like wood elves, the sheikah could be like ninjas, and the Gerudo could be awesome fighters (like the Aiel in Wheel of Time)..

If Nintendo is kind to us, then this announcement will be Kid Icarus, except If it is then I hope that it has lots of wicked fights or powerups... and eventually you  could have those flying stages and be strapped with crazy Magick out the yin-yang

Kid Icarus is popular with people who played the NES back then .  Which is a lot of us.  Metroid wasnt a huge franchise either.  In fact, it wasn't popular in Japan at all.  Kid Icarus was on the same level as Metroid was until Super Metroid.   I'll venture a guess and say Kid Icarus would sell just as well as Mario Tennis.  Having said all that, i doubt thats the announcement.  It seems to suggest a 3rd party title, which means it'll be exclusive because you wouldnt announce a multi platform game...unless its the double pack GTa3 and vice city.

i would say MARIO 128 because the game has supposdleyt been in devolnemt  from be4 SMS or smoething.

tOO Human - no way its gonna end up on n5
mario tennis- nah i dont think nintendo will call a confrence just to show it off
game zero- i also think it might be this game but hell no proff if its in excistence
zelda realistic- MAYBE  by capcom . nintendo have to much on thier hands for this,

Title: RE: Nintendo to make a new product announcement soon
Post by: Don'tHate742 on October 08, 2003, 06:20:16 PM
If it was a portable gamecube with backward capabitlity, that would be one of the smartest moves Nintendo have ever made. Think about it, Nintendo already has many companies wiht dev kits, making games as we speak. Even more companies would jump the ship if a handheld that played GC games came out. Every third party company would want to develope for Nintendo, becuase not only will they have there software available on the gc but on the pgc. People love handheld gaming, but its not entirely mainstream and as popular as it could be becuase of graphics and such. Nintendo would do away with that barrier.

Now combine that with great advertisement (every needs to some how find out there is a product like this...everyone) and some way to play multiplayer games(wireless would rule) and there you go the hotest game system around. They could charge $150 for it and people wouldn't mind........hell I wouldn't.

I'm getting ahead of myself. I remember that Cap, and I also remember some press conference when the gamecube was finally fully unvieled, some news reporter asked if the disks due to there small size are going to be used in any future Nintendo handhelds. Nintendo said maybe then quickly changed the subject. (paraphrased obviously)

EDIT: forgot there was another page of comments to read before i posted, and makes this completely illrevelant.

i still think it can, and will be done. if it is going to happen though, i would expect a fall 2005 launch.

anyways, the announcement is probably just a new reincarnation of an old franchise, or a sequal to a recent franchise. a brand new game would be nice, but i dont see that happening(although maybe we'll get to see game zero). nintendo will probably wait till e3 to make any of the big hardware announcements.

yeah, you dont drop the price of your system and generate sales only to turn around and screw it in the arse by announcing alot of info about your new console. people will think 'oh cube wont be around much longer, better wait for n5 or not at all' kind of thing, it doesn't. make. sence. look at the monkey, look at the silly little monkey.. *head explodes*

well even if there is an anouncement, it may be a software one instead of hardware. if it is hardware, then ninendo is just stupid. and since they arent, i can guarentee its not a new hardware announcement concerning the next generation console or handheld. maybe its a new controller, some new innovation, or like i said, a game. the announcement for their next console couldnt come at a worse time. it makes absolutely no sense. they would just be shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm not getting excited about anything anymore.  After the megaletdown or meganone as some of us call it I may never feel emotion about gaming again.  But seriously if Nintendo did ever loosen its lips about some news other than E cards and Konga games then maybe I'll put my "oops I craped my pants" adult diapers back on.  So untill the megapun comes for real, I'm gonna be suspicious of rumors.

Well the week came and went. But I dug this thread up for another reason. There was a recently locked thread that even though it broke out into sillyness there was something said.

About the new mascotts. This supposed announcement that is suppose to be made sometime according to some source (its been so long I forgot it.) But it could be about the new games that Nintendo is cooking up in Tokyo that are suppose to supplement their stable to franchise maybe even taking over for Mario and company.
