Yamauchi : GC successor not coming soon, not shown at 05 E3

FUD
I'll be surprised if Nintendo doesn't release a next-gen console.
Frankly, Yamauchi says a lot of crap and while he undoubtedly still has a close relationship with the company he isn't in charge. We can only guess as to how much his influence is still felt within the company.

Deadmeat:
> In the original Japanese version
What you're looking at there is not the original source but rather a summary of an interview by Nihon Keizai Shimbun - which incidentally is the same newspaper that caused both NCL and NOA to reiterate that it is working on a next gen system and that this system will be shown at E3 2005.
Also, you don't read Japanese.
> 4. Nintendo was also claiming that 64DD was still on track for a release,
> but it was never released.
Yes it was.
Qroach:
> It's just what I said before, confusing/conflictig information coming
> from nintendo or people invovled with nintendo.
The confusion comes from bad translations.
> Just what if the consle that was unveiled at E3 wasn't thier console and
> was merely a version of what MS is working on
Please go away.
Teasy:
> P.S. When were you re-programbed to be an insufrible Nintendo hater
> instead of an insufrible Sony hater?
He's always been opposed to Sega's competion. When Sega pulled out of the hardware market he focused his love on Xbox.

What's gonna happen in 17 days? :\
ATI did not say what that the nintendo GPU was specifically for. Yes they are working on a chip for nintendo, but never came out and said it was for their next home console, while coming out and saying that the other processor was going to be used in Xbox 2. At least i don't recall anyone from ATI saying the chip for nintendo was specifically for GC 2.
Besides, just what would you expect to be different between those chips in the future? ATI has already started rolling features form flipper into the current ATI GPU's. The biggest difference feature wise between current ATI chips and flipper is the embedded memory and a few other features.

They had no real sports line-up of their own, in the sense that EA, Sega, 989, or Microsoft have had, going back at least as far as SNES, if not further, (if ever). They've done sporadic sports games, most of which were pretty bad, and any sports titles they've had this generation and n64 were also available for their competition, so there is no real reason for sports fans to choose Nintendo over Microsoft or Sony when picking hardware. Except for the Mario games, which as you stated don't really count as "sports gamse" to the "sports crowd". If Nintendo worked on developing a good perenial line of football, basketball, etc, games, they could go a long way to rectifying that problem, (which is a long ways from saying they actually WILL).
Wow... I think the earth is going to come to a halt... I actually agree with DM on one trivial little fact!
His description of Yamauchi's position is pretty spot on... The day Yamauchi dies is the day that Nintendo will no longer feel his influence... You really have no clue how Japanese corporation function do you?
That aside, he's pretty far off on everything else...
While the paper has taken several quotes out of context, I think the general reaction of the gaming industry press has really blown the whole thing out of proportion...

Well, what else could it be for? GBA2? Maybe, but then again IBM has confirmed they are working on the CPU for "N5" or whatever it will be called. The point is, the hardware is being developed.
I don't know what the difference will be, but I imagine Nintendo and MS would have different requirements for a GPU in a next-generation system.
No worries, I'm sure he has enough crap for both.Teasy said:
BTW: Did you mean "unsufferable"? I got a random image of him falling off a surfboard...
Did any official press releases from IBM actually say they are making a CPU for the sucessor to the gamecube? I'm pretty sure they never gave any details on what the platform was. I'm starting to think it's not another console, but could be the next gameboy a few years from now.
Possibly, but the only difference I could forsee would be either less features than MS as we all know whatever chip MS uses will have all the functionality supported by DX 10, or different features form MS, but in that case what could they add that isn't supported the top of the line PC hardware at that time... Well to be honest I'm thinking it could be for the next GBA, which would have even smaller gamecube hardware a few years from now.

What Yamauchi said
Yamauchi actually taunts SCEI and MS for developing next-gen consoles!!! And says Nintendo will release some kind of parasite game machine that connects to GameCube! This is exactly what Iwata stated earlier.
Nintendo is not showing GC2 at 05 E3; it is showing some kind of peripheral that is to be used with GC. Unless this is Nintendo's 128X.... But then again, Yamauchi already clarified that it would not be a next-gen stuff...
