Hey everyone, I haven't been on for a while but this news coming straight out of left field has got me out of hiding lol. I think this "leak" is a very slick move on Nintendo's part. I believe now it puts Sony, in particular, in a very difficult position.
I'm sure Sony has been planning a PSP2 for some time now and this announcement is sure to poo poo over anything they could come out with. Lets say if Sony's plan for a PSP2 was just to up the graphics and features and slapin a touch screen to copy the DS's approach. Nintendo will already be ahead of them by having a touchscreen AND a 3d display, without glasses to boot. It'll make the PSP2 look like old news before it's even released. On the other hand, lets say that Sony is also planning a 3d display for PSP2, by the time they announce it, it'll seem as if they just copied Nintendo's approach. Also, we have to take in consideration that if Sony was not planning to have 3d in mind for the PSP2, they sure are now and more than likely they will implement it very hastly as to not fall to far behind Nintendo's release.
As for a launch lineup, I can really see the 5th gen Pokemon being one of them which would be HUGE imo, especially if they really evolve and streamline the franchise. It has already been announced that its in developement and in light of this announcement, I highly doubt it'll be released on the DSi. If its in developement, it has to be for the 3DS.
I would also love a new (and I do mean new, not rehash) Animal Crossing. There is so much they could do with that franchise that it kills me to see it in the form it is now. My dream has always been for Nintendo to incorporate the gameplay from their "Mario sports" lineup into Animal Crossing. That'll give everyone sports to play online with other when they are tired of the usual Animal Crossing gameplay. Make each town have its own bowling alley, tennis and soccor court, and a golf course unique to each town. This'll encourage people to visit other towns to play in thier unique golf courses. Scheduled tournaments could also be held. This is all neither here nor there though and better suited in another thread so I'll leave it at that.
