I'm surprised by the lack of info so far. I'm still amazed by how big the thread has gotten, though. It's actually got more views than the MS conference thread haha.

Oh, and I can't believe they took our avatars again. I feel so naked. :()

MS poor showing makes it really hard to justify a 3 console future.

How is that a prediction? Nintendo confirmed it when they announced that Cafe would be at E3.

I think they are talking more to the fact outside the conference as in location due to the mass setup outside

I believe that's what they meant in their announcement. I could be wrong though.

Heh, after seeing all the new Battlefield 3 footage, I really doubt that Project Cafe will be able to handle it, unless it's a real step up from 360/PS3.

Gyros and stuff will be bolted in, but I think full-on motion controls will be left to backwards compatibility with the wiimote.

If this controller is going to be what it's rumoured to be, it will be because it supplies a new interface/way of playing and it's that which will define the system. They could bundle in a wiimote as well, but I don't see them splitting the angle of the system like that.

I think it's how they will use touch that is going to be interesting, and maybe how the controllers are used in relation to each other will be as important as how they are used in relation to the system.

How Nintendo apply technology is always the most interesting aspect, rather than the technology itself. Certainly going to be the most interesting console unveiling in a long, long time anyway.

Most interesting since the Wii, I would say. It's always fun to see what nintendo has to show as it's almost always a preview of where the industry is headed next.

But if 360/PS3 can handle it (albiet not quite as well as PC), why can't a console stronger than them handle it? :p

Well, they haven't shown the 360/PS3 footage yet. I think he means at the level the PC is running.

Well, TBH, I hadn't thought of that (forgive me it's E3 time) but yeah I guess. A Project Cafe version would certainly be the best console version we could have in the next year, until Xbox3, PS4 arrive. Aghhh I just cannot THINK straight or type. Total overload.

True, true. Project Cafe should be able to handle it with higher settings than the 360/PS3 although not as good as a high-end PC, obviously.

Cafe won't run BF3 on max. That's some seriously next-gen stuff. It's the new Crysis.
Maybe PS4/Nextbox will be able to give you that in 2013.

Doesn't matter, if it's not the standard they will either not be supported or be tacked on by 3rd parties, and you can't just tack on pointer control and have it work well.

Nintendo could require 3rd parties to have them be a control method. Or the main controller could have a pointer as well.

Sorry guys, I really need to think & focus before I post. heh. I'm experiencing total E3 overload, there's alot going on in my house too, phone calls (which i'm trying to ignore).

Need to find a quiet place to type and to turn off the live streams....I think I'll do better on my Netbook.

There were no last-minute 3DS leaks - either actual leaks or advance stories from mainstream outlets based on official info - prior to last year's conference.

Which is how I like it. I like to experience unveilings like this with everybody else and see the reactions.

It's hard for me to let go but I would sacrifice pointer controls so that motion controls are nolonger the focus for their next system.

It would be nice if they figured out a design solution to keep the pointer. We'll find out soon

"Don't ask Don't tell" sums up both MS and EA press conference for me.

There are solutions, but none are as elegant as the Wiiremote. And sadly, it's not really big enough for all the buttons developers want, which is why they're going back to dual analog.

It's really a shame that developers couldn't (or wouldn't) learn how to properly utilize the Wii controllers. It's the single biggest advancement in controller design since the shoulder button!

Saw the summaries to both. Painful stuff. 6 Halo games in a single generation! And people bitch about Nintendo milking their franchises...

Swore on Sunday I would stay out of this thread for fear of rumours, saw the title had been changed and thought there had been a leak, battled with my willpower for a bit then came in to find Weinerpoop....

I both really want leaks and really want the feeling of a proper reveal tomorrow. I expect a leak in the papers tomorrow morning/tonight, so will avoid everything once I go to bed.

After today's experience with the MS conference on YouTube I'm afraid of massive amounts of buffering at key points though, where will people be watching it?

Yes for the love of God. I really hope its not a console get gets bombarded by shooters and offers something different for a different type of gamer.

If anything, we could get a tablet + wiimote+ setup. Kinda like keyboard and mouse. Just rest the tablet on your lap.

Or the tablet could have a built in stand (or included stand) so you can use nunchuck + wiimote but have the tablet on the coffee table maybe w videochat or available to use for any game-specific applications.

Only place to watch Nintendo's conference. You get lots of awesome behind the scenes stuff and developer interviews.

I for one would be happy with an analogue and some face buttons added to the wiimote-nunchuck combo, a la Move. But I can't see how they can have touchscreen as well. Split controls just feels soooo nice in your hands.

Will it be better than the MS site (which played for about 30 seconds then refused to load for me - I blame Silverlight, I'm sure they've gimped it on Chrome/Mac)?
