I was BORN ready.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I really am! I'm excited to see what this console can do.

 

[Solidus]

Well I'll get it regardless, because I'm bound to Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. But I really hope they don't go the route of the Wii.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Does anyone else other than Nintendo have a conference today?

Does anyone else other than Nintendo have a conference today?

no.
It´s the last press conference this year, next year there will be more, and in 2013.....if the Mayans are right.........no

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Ah. Didn't know if any other developers had a conference. Thanks. Still just with Nintendo having such a big announcement I'll expect it'd still be an exciting day.

I think Nin is going to try to bring back the Hardcore crowd with this console. I think we will see a lot of the Nin mainstays like Mario, Metroid etc.; but we will also see some of hardcore games. I would not be surprised to see Rockstar, Bioware, and/or Valve on stage today.

Other than games, I am most looking forward to pricing, if they give us one, on the the new console. I think price point will be key for them.

Man to imagine Metroid with uber graphics makes me so stoked.

I say $299 price for the nintendo should be a good price, depending on just how much the system itself can compare to a PS3 and 360.

I think it will be higher, maybe $350.00-$399.99. It really depends on the controller tech and the systems innards.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Nintendo can't afford to go higher than $350. Not when the PS3 and 360 offer so many more features and have more games.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm going with my "250-300" feeling. It may have a new controller and whatnot but Nintendo can't release this thing for 400 bucks... No way. They already took a hit sales wise due to pricing the 3DS way to high, I just can't see them doing the same for the Nintendo HD, more so when you KNOW a 360/PS3 price drop is coming.

It was actually smart on both Microsoft and Sony's part to not announce a price drop at their conferences. Give Nintendo time to name the price, if it's 350+ expect announcements from both Sony and Microsoft within the next few days on a price drop.

 

[KALEL114]

Mark Rein of Epic just Tweeted:

We have another pretty cool announcement coming today at around 10AM PST

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm more interested in the release date than the price to be honest.

 

[Benstamania]

Release was rumored early 2012.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Early 2012 is the best move for Nintendo. That way it's still early enough for them to get launch titles such as Sonic Generations, Modern Warfare 3, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, etc. And Nintendo needs a high quality launch line-up, none of that ******** that Sony and Microsoft gave us with their launch lineups.

What's up with this "My body is ready"?

 

[Benstamania]

Hoho... Sessler doesn't think the controller will have a screen on it due to 3DS.... Which, he has a point.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

That was an excellent point against the screen rumor which I'm surprised no one has brought up yet.

 

[Havok83]

Hoho... Sessler doesn't think the controller will have a screen on it due to 3DS.... Which, he has a point.

Why does the 3DS negate it having a screen?

Both have a touch screen function for play? The 3DS is struggling to sell? It's a totally valid point.
