Next-gen is just an illusion. Wii U isn't next-gen anymore, because once a "next-gen" console comes out, it's now considered "current-gen." PS4 and Durango are next-gen until they are released, then they too will become "current-gen," and PS3/360 will then become "last-gen."  It's all meaningless marketing BS, really.

This past gen many considered the HD consoles the "next gen" consoles and ignored the wii. The "HD" consoles was just the easier way of saying Wii you don't belong in this category. Well this time there is no clear thing that distinguishes the consoles like one being non HD so they are using "next gen" as the way to push Wii U out of the category. Basically a bunch of companies want a way to phrase "Out on all systems but not Wii U" without saying it like that so this gens "HD" will be "next gen" I guess.

As for the correct term, a generation includes any new version of a console, it has nothing to do with power. Wii U is absolutely next gen but somewhere along the way that term came to mean only graphics.

There is this too. I wonder what are companies going to say when next gen becomes current gen. Someone is going to come up with some term that removes Wii U from the equation.

Where is that cooper dude that is the doom fan. I just want to high five him. Doom is so incredible. Seriously best game I played all year. Nyaa

So what changed the FPS from the Doom style to the cinematic go down a scripted path style. Was it Half-Life? I'm starting to wonder, was that a good change? Don't get me wrong, I do think HL2 is the greatest FPS ever, better than Doom but for many different reasons most that have nothing to do with the FPS genre (its far more of a traditional action/adventure game than an FPS). Why did the Doom level design stop? Why did the Doom level of intensity stop. Why is it all take cover and do nothing while you magically heal bull crap rather than SHOOT ANY FUCKING THING THAT MOVES!!! KEEP SHOOTING RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN OMG 20 ENEMIES ON SCREEN AHHHHH!!!!

I want to spend a whole podcast disecting Doom, it is so amazing from a design perspective.

The dude who posted the original Wii U clockspeed rumours said:

"Seeing that people are having mixed views on said clock speeds (even for me when I first seen said clock speeds), I'm placing them as rumors. "

"Homedrewers have said that that is what the CPU & GPU's clock crystal is clocked at and that with said update it up clocked to that speed, also, the Wii U uses a Power6 base chip & the updated speeds are placed back into rumor mode. "

If you have Super Metroid downloaded on the Wii VC and you have a North American Club Nintendo account Nintendo will give you 150 Courtesy Coins for having Super Metroid since it is the Promotional Wii U VC title for $0.30 during the month of May.

Edit* It turns out you also have to have a Wii U.
