This information comes from Scott Pilgrim Vs The World game designer Jonathan Lavigne…

“If consumers are willing to embrace new technology then for sure we’ll see a new batch of consoles, but we’re more likely to see that in the form of peripherals like Kinect on Xbox 360 and Move on PS3 rather in a whole new console. We’ll probably see Nintendo have the first real new console because they’ve really lasted a long time on refurbished Gamecubes with the Wii.”

It’s very possible that we’ll see Nintendo introduce their next home console before other companies. However, I don’t think we’ll see it until 2012 at the earliest. Next year Nintendo will be concentrating most of their efforts on the 3DS.

Looks like we have a good reason to pay closer attention to Destructoid.com in the coming days:

We don’t want to say too much, but I can assure you that this bit of news will be a total trip. We will have a critically acclaimed third-party Nintendo developer in the house to show off, for the first time, a brand-new game that is most likely going to be awesome. All their previous stuff has been, after all!

Hmm… I’m not entire sure what this could be! As the source post suggests, we could be looking at the BIT.TRIP FATE reveal, or maybe it could be something totally different! I really don’t know!

Wouldn’t the world have been a sadder place had Koji Kondo decided to take on a profession other than composing video game music? We would have missed out some absolutely fantastic tunes, such as the main themes in Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. The legendary composer turned 50 today and has been with Nintendo for more than half of his life. Let’s hope he sticks around with the company for many more years to come!
