Sakamoto: Nintendo’s next console will surprise people

September 4th, 2010 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Posted by Valay

This information comes from Yoshio Sakamoto…

“At Nintendo we always have the obligation to surprise users with a new game console. We have never done what others have. We prefer to create something new that catches attention, and I think this will continue this time as well. Surely the new Nintendo machine will leave you all with your mouth open.”

I don’t know how much Sakamoto really knows about the Big N’s next console, but Nintendo employees always say that they hope their hardware will surprise people. I’d definitely say a lot of people were surprised by the 3DS – The 3D itself, how well the 3D works, the system’s graphics and features, etc. I’m sure the Wii’s successor will impress gamers as well!

    yeah it doesn’t sound like he knows what will be surprising about it. just that it’s Nintendo’s motto.

    also, the new machine will us with HIS mouth open? well that would be surprising. just don’t see how that makes the console good. lol

    Heh heh… Looks like Valay just now corrected the article to read “your” mouth instead of “his” mouth. ^_^

    things that would surprise me:

    if Nintendo figured out how to use 3-D on TVs without glasses

    a Mario game on day one

    good third party support like the good old days

    although I don’t really care about HD, including it would give people less to complain about

    a good-sized hard drive

    backward capability

    plays DVDs

    improved online

    fully wireless controllers (no attachments)

    less shovelware and peripherals

    I agree with thosewhodream.
    That would really surprise me.

    actually I think I can take away a couple of those. third party support has been improving since the N64 days, and the Wii got GC backward compatability

    Nintendo’s spent the current generation expanding the market and dominating the mass market. As they’ve begun making clear with the 3DS already, the next generation is about taking fuller advantage of their being the market leader again and rather blatantly eating the competition’s lunch, getting the support Sony and Microsoft and their fans have taken for granted and not supported sustainably – we’ll be seeing more of the full market domination treatment Nintendo’s been earning many times over as they use more of their market leader capital and third parties learn from their errors this generation. The third parties that financially survive the PS3 and 360, anyway.

    Nintendo’s getting ready to go from some pretty damn wonderful stuff this generation into even more amazing territory in next generation. We’ve got a lot to look forward to, and the 3DS looks like it’ll be our first big sign of what’s to come with all its new features and focus on more open social networking and interaction in gaming between things like tag mode and the much bigger online element. I’m sure there’s some very big software surprises coming in the near future, especially with the 3DS and very possibly in Wii firmware updates and new channels, which will knock our socks off, too. :)

    I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of cartridges, they’re faster and more durable than DVDs, technology has come along away since they were phased out, I’m sure Nintendo could figure it out…if not cartridges, maybe some kind of flash drive? or something without all those pesky cables

    What would surprise me is something that I do not expect.
