Nintendo's NX Will Surprise and Innovate, Iwata Says

<< LINK REMOVED >> what Indie game is innovative and not a remix of old school gaming? Heck, Indie creators cant even make their own engines.

Indie creators is what almost collapsed the gaming industry in the 80's and Nintendo had to save it by locking out content creators.

<< LINK REMOVED >> That rumor has been rumor for a long time. Plus those specs are off anyway. 4GB of RAM would drive off 3rd party support.

<< LINK REMOVED >> only because they aren't getting much good games...seems to be remasters this & remasters that...one game on to get list is Bloodborne when I get PS4. :P

<< LINK REMOVED >> Wii U in a nutshell.

It may be "dull" but it's functional and does not scare away third parties. Sometime innovation have it's downside. I'm pretty sure you prefer the gamecube controller for most games instead of their innovative wiimote. I know I do.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Sounds like the Wii and Wii U to me, consoles built with spare parts from the previous gen with a gimmicky controller tacked on. I was hoping for Nintendo to build something a little more modern next time, but now I'm not sure they won't keep doing what they've always done.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Eh...mainly PS4.

The Xbox One does bring something a bit different than its predecessor if you bundle it with the Kinect. Yes...the kinect has its faults...but it works really well when it works...lol

<< LINK REMOVED >> Backwards compatibility doesn't hold a system back if done right. No backwards compatibility guarantees you HD remasters of previously released HD games.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I think a more correct statement would be, "If you only expand upon existing hardware by failing to take full advantage of it while adding micro-transactions and paid DLC that should be in the game at launch, it's dull."

So... you're not buying a PS4 or XB1 either, I take it?

As they are literally just gimped AMD PCs.

<< LINK REMOVED >> i don't think you understand consoles so much. The reason why they have weaker hardware is too make them affordable to the masses. If these consoles were 800 bucks Sony, MS and Nintendo would have checked out a long time ago because no one would be buying their consoles.

<< LINK REMOVED >> How to sell sheeps hardware they dont need. Make a PC, add gimmicks, remove ability to use device as a PC, force sheeps to buy to play its games. profit.

<< LINK REMOVED >> The creativity and gimmicks have never been what has hurt Nintendo...it has been the third party's devs lack of interest to develop games on their platform(s). You have to get them to buy into the "gimmick." I mean, they buy into the Kinect (which we all know is hit or miss...but mostly miss) and the PS move, which to me, is still collecting dust in a drawer somewhere...

<< LINK REMOVED >> Don't a bunch of their own games have those things?

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's what third party support is these days....and if Nintendo says no to that...well...say hello to another "Wii U," which is fine with me....

<< LINK REMOVED >> They also need a online platform similar to XBL and PSN.
