Ugh, games like this and my current library might make me get an NGP...

Or maybe just a super cheap PSP replacement eventually...

GG, your birthday.  I remember it being one day apart from mine but can't remember if it is before or after, so whether it was yesterday, or it is tomorrow... (i think it's tomorrow)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY

and to everyone a very happy easter and good friday

Is this a subtle way of saying that today is your birthdate?

Happy Birthday Bugsy!

Happy Birthday to Bugs and a belated/early one to GG.

Whew, busy day today.

Just have time to let you guys know that I played a few more hours of De Blob 2 and its a pretty great game. I know how you (and I) felt, as in you didn't need another. Truth be told I feel guilty now that I picked it up at hobo prices. It's yet another great platformer for the console and can be picked up for a bargain price, which is pretty much an indication that it bombed at retail.

PAL gamers, Zavvi is selling it for £9.85 with free delivery

PS3

360

The Wii version is £14.85 so I suppose it must be selling more on Wii.

I'll give more impressions later.

I would love for Retro to do Eternal Darkness, that is an inspired choice for them. Bravo Nintendo.

I can't work out if this is sarcasm or not.

So, PSN is down indefinitely, huh?. Look who's online service sucks now, bitches!

While you guys wait, come pwn n00bs on Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl on Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. It's free, and it works.

*Nevermind that both of those games have been available for years, and were the last online enabled games we've bothered to make*

Thanks very much. You too chum! Give the Scots some strife too, while you're up there. I hope you are wearing a kilt about town.

Kotaku Wii 2 rumours

Kotaku says the controller will also have two analogue sticks (yes!), a camera and eight buttons. We imagine that would include four face buttons and four shoulder buttons/triggers, although the site's 'sources who are familiar with Nintendo's plans' aren't that specific.


Apparently the screen will measure a massive 6.2 inches, but what's interesting is that it claims this will be one of at least two control options for the new console.

Rather than replacing the Wii Remote-style controller, Kotaku says the screen-enabled controller will be one option for some games, while the machine will also support "Wii Remote-style controllers". It's unclear if this means it'll use actual Wii Remotes or an entirely new Remote that's more accurate, but we'd guess the latter considering previous reports that the console's motion control will be "better than [Sony's] Move".


Speaking hypothetically, it suggests games like Wii Sports would be controlled with the remote, while players would use the screen controller for games like Zelda. Some games would give you the choice.


The screen can be used - as you'd imagine - to display inventories or maps in some games, or as a viewfinder. It can also be used to take pictures of your face to import into games, it claims.


Nintendo's Wii 2 has reportedly been named 'Project Cafe' behind-the-scenes, and features a custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores, a GPU from the ATI R700 family with a shader unit at version 4.1, and at least 512Mb of RAM.

IGN Wii 2 rumours

More details of Nintendo's forthcoming console, codenamed Project Cafe aka Wii 2, have been revealed to IGN, including the system's estimated pricing, release, console design, processing architecture, and name.


According to sources with knowledge of the project, Nintendo's next console could have a retail price of anywhere between $350 and $400 based on manufacturing costs, and will ship from Taiwanese manufacturer, Foxconn, this October, putting the earliest possible retail release anywhere between mid-October and early November.


However, Nintendo could also opt to build up a sizable supply of the system and allocate more time for software and games development by launching in early 2012. Similarly, Nintendo could attempt to lower the retail price of the system with lower profit margins to make the price more alluring.


Since the manufacturing is taking place in Taiwan, the earthquakes and tsunami that hit Japan last month will not impact the console hardware as previously expected.



Our Sources


Head over to Scott Lowe's blog to find out why we trust our sources and so should you.

Additionally, IGN has learned that the system will be based on a revamped version of AMD's R700 GPU architecture, not AMD's Fusion technology as previously believed, which will, as previously reported, out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Like the Xbox 360, the system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster. The system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, though it has not been determined whether that will be a staple feature.


In terms of the design of the console itself, the overall size will be comparable to that of the original Xbox 360 and the system is likely to resemble a modernized version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).


As reported last week, it will indeed utilize controllers with integrated touchscreens and be capable of streaming games to each controller, though given the power of the system, could also feasibly provide a virtualized console for each individual unit.


Finally, Nintendo is considering naming the console Stream, though it is potentially one of several names currently being vetted by the company.


We contacted Nintendo representatives, but they declined to comment on "rumors or speculation."

Rumours say it will be 80% more powerful than 360, 30% more powerful than PS3.

So Wii 2 will resemble a modernised SNES?

Please, for the love of God mean the Euro SNES.

^ I prefer the SNES Jr style myself.
