Not even tits and being on fire?

Ok first of all, there is no such thing as 2020p, hell there isn't even an standard as to what the next standard for higher resolutions will be, so on that count it would be silly to try to support it in 2-3 years time.

Damn is this thing awesome!!

The controllers may cost $100 dollars to us, the consumer, to Nintendo they would certainly cost a great deal less. The profit margin for the Wii U is probably lower than that of the Wii but even taking into account the controllers and two year old tech, a price of 300 would still be profitable to Nintendo. Not as…

Oh, I thought you were comparing the 3DS to the DS.

Well Mario with a 5 O' clock shadow would look pretty badass!! Hell a Mario Western would be all kinds of awesome!!

No, a mid-high PC now will destroy a PS3 in terms of performance, and that is just talking about a consumer PC, a server machine or a graphic artist machine (which also come in ranges as well) will be much more powerful than that.

While I do agree that there is much that can be done, I do have a few comments about your argument:

INCONCEIVABLE!!

OMG! DIPLOMACY?! REASON?! GAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Very true, but it's still a threat, especially since people can buy games for a dollar and play it, that time is time not spent playing Nintendo consoles and besides they could think that they do not need to buy Nintendo single player games (say Mario Galaxy) because they already have games on their tablet to play…

From all the rumors that have been passed around it's VERY likely that the console is at least 50% more powerful.

That is VERY likely, and it's probably why they rushed to show the console now, also the IPAD and smarphones are becoming a threat to the casual market that Nintendo was aiming for.

True, cartridge based was certainly a flaw for Nintendo in that generation, while the N64 was technicaly more powerful than the PSX the lack of stotarage space made that distinction mute since they couldn't pack as many textures (or better quality textures) or models, or what not, as the PSX could. Still OoT looked…

I agree, baroque was not cartoony, unless you count anime style inspired as cartoony, if so then Final Fantasy 13, Armored Core, etc as cartoony. Hell even devil may cry 4 has the style (albeit more realistic).

I heard the same rumors and am optimistic on that, but something that makes me wonder is the 3DS which still has friend codes, If they ditch friend codes for the wii u (and they are talking about connectivity between the 3ds and Wii U) then they must also ditch the codes for 3DS, I hope so anyway.

I agree. The gameplay was somewhat fun, but it was not true metroid gameplay. But the story, oh god the story..... that killed any connection to the game. Even if they say that a Nintendo guy responsible for Metroid (can't remeber his name) helmed the story, it still was a failure, it was almost as if they didn't…

Hmmmm on that point we will have to wait until more detailed information surfaces, after all people were saying the exact same thing about the Wii.

Hahaha, man If I could promote this comment I would.

And I just did some research and you were right and I was wrong, indeed with high enough resoolution anti-aliasing is not needed.
