IGN Rumor: Nintendo Revealing New Hardware at E3, heard from multiple sources   

Word on the interwebs suggests that the Big N is gearing up for some sort of hardware reveal at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.


"We've heard rumors that Nintendo might be showing hardware at E3," IGN editor Jose Otero said on the latest episode of Nintendo Voice Chat.


"They're absolutely going to show new hardware this year," the outlet's co-founder, Peer Schneider added. "No doubt in my mind that something... 'Cause I've heard from multiple people now. I've heard from someone who used to be at Nintendo, I've heard it from somebody on the third-party front."

http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/r...ce=twitterfeed

If this was a new home console how would they manage the fallout? What would be acceptable? So, imagine a more powerful console that came with a normal controller, but Wii U pads could still be used and Wii U games would still be compatible. Then they upgrade the U pad and start selling it as an accesory.

As an existing user you'd still be screwed, you could try to flog off the U but who would buy a 2nd hand one these days?

Do they let you into the Nintendo campus cause I would pay to get in. I see online that there are no tours but I think there is a visitors center. I can't seem to find Straight answer.

Oh crap Destructoid just ruined the CoD reveal. It’s called Advanced Warfare and it stars Kevin Spacey! Trailer at the link!!!

http://www.destructoid.com/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-leaked-see-the-first-video-and-images-274126.phtml

<b style=”color: #222222;”>Through a trusted source, Destructoid has learned the new Call of Duty, subtitled Advanced Warfare, revolves around a soldier of fortune group run by Spacey’s character that has turned on the United States government. As shown in the leaked media attached to this post, players will wear exosuits to jump super high, scale buildings, and cloak themselves. Also, hoverbikes.</b>

I’m excited. If CoD would only ditch its terrible campaign structure and make a real game, with open levels, good missions, actual progression it could be fantastic as a campaign. Look at all that awesome! Hover bikes! Super suits! Imagine if it had more open areas like a Halo how fun that would be.

That's like saying, if only Knack had good level design, tight controls and more imagination it could be a fantastic platformer. You can apply this to any average game. cheeky

Videogamer:

Nintendo will reveal new hardware at E3, a third-party publishing source has told VideoGamer.com.

Games compatible with the hardware will also be playable at the show, our source says, with the hardware believed to be linked to system specs leaked earlier in the year.

Those specs suggest that the hardware will be formed of two parts - a 'Fusion DS' and a 'Fusion Terminal' - and be a successor to the platform holder's struggling Wii U.

Our source's comments tally with those made by IGN earlier today who revealed that they had "heard rumours that Nintendo might be showing hardware at E3".

"They are absolutely going to show new hardware this year, there is no doubt in my mind..." said IGN's Peer Schneider. "I've heard it from multiple people now. I've heard it from someone who used to be at Nintendo, I've heard it from somebody on the third-party front."

The site then speculates that Nintendo could reveal a new peripheral or hardware revision rather than a new console.

Nintendo told VideoGamer.com that it does not comment on rumour or speculation when contacted about the story earlier today.

The platform holder is set to host its E3 digital event on Tuesday, June 10.

Fuck, this is happening.

So Videogamers' source is saying that the New Nintendo system will be this Fusion thing, the next portable + the next home console.

http://nintendonews.com/2014/01/nintendo-fusion-could-be-nintendos-next-gen-hardware-name/

Nintendo Fusion isn’t just an arbitrary name with no meaning.

We have just received an anonymous tip from one of our very reputable sources regarding possible information related to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware; for both its home and portable consoles.

First of all, if this is your first time on Nintendo News, I want to personally make it clear that we have an impeccable reputation when it comes to delivering information that’s credible and newsworthy. Secondly, thank you for taking the time to read what we offer. Third, and most important, none of the information is 100% guaranteed. Then again, nothing in life is either. Please use caution when viewing the below information, especially with regard to the technical specifications. Let’s have a look at the information we have received.

Perhaps the most important question is, “what is Nintendo working on”? As many may already be aware, Nintendo is already fast at work on their next set of home and portable hardware. Nintendo, in particular, seem to work on succeeding hardware anywhere from six months to two years after their current generation lineup is released on the market. What we know is that “Nintendo Fusion” is a possible name that Nintendo is using for their next-gen hardware.

On Thursday, May 29th, 2003, Nintendo of America Inc. purchased the domain name nintendofusion.com. They purchased the domain from the same Melbourne, Australia-based registrar they use for all of their other official domain names: Melbourne IT Ltd. At precisely 12:17 p.m. GMT on January 21st (just about an hour and a half ago), the WHOIS database record for nintendofusion.com was updated.

You can see all of the aforementioned information related to nintendofusion.com right here. Alternatively, we’ve listed it below for you.

NOTE: nintendofusion.com was originally purchased because of the Nintendo Fusion Tour — a touring rock music and video game festival sponsored by Nintendo of America. The tour began in 2003, which explains the date of the domain name purchase. This may, or may not be, related to the tipped information below regarding Nintendo’s possible hardware. Additionally, the Nintendo Fusion Tour was last active in 2006.

Now, onto the other stuff.

The following information comes from our source, of whom which has provided us with possible hardware specifications related to Nintendo’s new hardware systems, said to be named “Fusion DS” and “Fusion Terminal,” respectively. I want to reiterate that everything below may not be guaranteed so please take that into consideration when viewing the information.

So, until Nintendo officially reveals their next-gen hardware lineup, don’t get too carried away with what we have presented in this article. The domain name, and information provided for the domain name, is entirely real. The hardware name and technical hardware specifications, along with some questionable code names, is another story.

Wolfenstein The New Order Console Requirements

Bethesda has published the install sizes.

PlayStation 4: 47 GB total install



Xbox One: 47 GB total install


Xbox 360: 8 GB minimum, 4 discs, including the first disc that is a mandatory installation disc



PlayStation 3: Disc play 8 GB, PSN download 17 GB

Hmm, 47 GB for the PS4? It would take 2 solid days for me download it. Sad

If this new Nintendo console is real and releases anytime soon then the only acceptable solution would be to give away free game downloads to existing U owners equal to the value of buying a U at launch.

An ambassador program as you were. So it cost £300 at launch, games are about £50 each, so 6 free game downloads of full priced retail games - for each U owner.

They're giving away free digital games from a large selection, they had the 3DS offer and now the Mario Kart offer and they gave us 3DS ambassadors many free GBA games. I think if it's digital, they'll consider it as the cost to them is low. The cost of giving all 5 million existing owners new machines to play would cost millions.

Iwata said:

"In this perspective, while we are only going to be able to start this with the next system, it will become important for us to accurately take advantage of what we have done with the Wii U architecture. It of course does not mean that we are going to use exactly the same architecture as Wii U, but we are going to create a system that can absorb the Wii U architecture adequately. When this happens, home consoles and handheld devices will no longer be completely different, and they will become like brothers in a family of systems."


"Last year Nintendo reorganized its R&D divisions and integrated the handheld device and home console development teams into one division under Mr. Takeda. Previously, our handheld video game devices and home video game consoles had to be developed separately as the technological requirements of each system, whether it was battery-powered or connected to a power supply, differed greatly, leading to completely different architectures and, hence, divergent methods of software development. However, because of vast technological advances, it became possible to achieve a fair degree of architectural integration. We discussed this point, and we ultimately concluded that it was the right time to integrate the two teams."

Videogamers Simon and Jim sit down to discuss the rumours that Iwata may nintend to reveal a brand new home console this year. Is the Wii U doing so badly that they'll abandon it? Can a new console reverse their fortunes? We don't have any answers, only power.

No Nintendo hardware reveal at E3, company confirms Representatives for the corporation told CVG UK on Friday that such a reveal is not under consideration.

I'm always dubious when UK sites confirm anything with companies because I know how it works, they contact the UK branch of a company which is usually clueless when it comes to compartmentalised information and ruled over by overseas management. Some PR guy at Nintendo UK in Slough of all places is not going to know jack shit about what Nintendo Japan are planning for E3.
