Battlefield 3 Coming to Nintendo With 64 Players?

Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Coming to Nintendo? with 64 Players?

There are many “hardcore” gamers who are embarrassed to talk or even mention the name Nintendo in a serious conversation about gaming. Long gone are the days of the 80’s and 90’s where it was “Cool” to own and play a Nintendo. Today the word is Taboo in some circles, being synonymous with kid games and a gimmicky wand for a controller.

But…..that may be about to change…..

[ps3bestever]

ohh really ?!

[jack who]

thats wat i said

[I_find_it_funny]

" There is NO EVIDENCE so all of this is purely speculative – but read me out… "

no thanks

[BiggCMan]

Well I think it would be great if Nintendo had a franchise like Battlefield on their supposed new console. Perhaps it means they will take a more serious route with it you know? Top notch graphics, hopefully an online community etc.. All the stuff you now expect from your new consoles. In all seriousness here, I really thought the headline said coming to Nintendo64, then I reread it and things started to make sense haha. I do miss the N64 though, such a great console with so many amazing games on it.

[Inside_out]

.
If Nintendo does announce a new console at E3, then Sony and Microsoft will launch at the same time. They have to or all will be lost. Epic, Crytek, Dice...etc, will all be on the new console and Nintendo will want to lock up some exclusives for their new machine from those guys and especially the middleware.

I've always thought that Microsoft would launch first and I still believe that but with all the speculation this week, it's now a must that they push the new console.

Can you imagine if Nintendo launches a console with 1080p/60 fps standard with the capability to do even more than that if the game is scaled for it. Nintendo will walk off with the hard core and as everybody already knows, they have the casuals already. With backwards compatibility a guarantee, it will lights out for Sony and Microsoft.

[DeadlyFire]

Call of Duty, Battlefield = Yes. More than likely to appear on New Nintendo console. Don't know if it will be Battlefield 3 or this COD number coming in 2011 though as they are launching this year and its possible Bad Company 3 and another Call of Duty might be ready by end 2012.

64 players. I would hope so, but knowing the push for more power its still likely to stand around 32 players at most for a typical game in the new generation. That's not to say some games with more players can't exist. Just depends.

As far as Sony and Microsoft go they are launching a new console by 2014. Likely to be announced by E3 2012 since Nintendo is already coming with their announcement this year.

I do think Sony is prepped to announce. As they hinted at a new console at CES this year already. Stating that NGP is first of a new line of Sony entertainment products or something of a similar sense meaning something else is to be announced soon.

[ProjectVulcan]

Only if nintendo have the solid well integrated online service to support it, and a console with enough RAM...

[Soldierone]

Yeah. There are also rumors about scientists making pigs fly.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

I thought it was on Wii. I also saw the Crysis leaked gameplay on Wii, which was funny. But on Wii 2, Battlefield could be possible if they make a core system.

[Agent-86]

It's April 23 and a little late for April Fools Day jokes.

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

@alfa IF....

[lelo2play]

It would be funny if they released BF3 for the Wii2 with support for 64 players. How would PS3 and X360 players feel?

If Nintendo releases the Wii2 this year, i think Microsoft and Sony should release a new console in 2012... or they will stay behind.

[Soldierone]

By the time devs think "screw the PS3 and 360, use the potential of the Wii2" there will be new variations coming. This will take more than a year of Wii2 being on the market though.

[CommonSense]

There is no way this is happening. Wii 2 hasn't even been formally announced. which means the soonest it would launch would be end of the year (which is HIGHLY unlikely). but lets say that it is coming in 2011...the money being invested in battlefield 3 is already very high. do you really think they'd suddenly invest more resources to port it to a system with a 0 install base?

[ipe]

- there s no chance wii2 ll come this year, especially when N is hoping for good 3ds holiday
- there is no chance ps4/xbox ll come next year
- and 1 game ll not change that

[lh_swe]

As a gamer I would be happy, and if the console turned out awesome I'd buy it. It would be retarded to be angry about evolving tech...because in the end its a means to an end, that end being gaming.

Dumb speculation tho, as thats all this is...despite that, I can't say I wouldn't wish it to be true.

[ATiElite]

Lets all speculate that Modern Warfare 3 will be an Onlive Exclusive.

Lets entertain the rumor that Half Life 3 will release on the ipad 2 at E3.

see i can make stuff up to for web hits.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Mortal Kombat 9 is coming to a new Sega system. My dad works at Sega and he told me.

[humbleopinion]

The actual question is - why is this crap marked as an article and not as a rumor?

[iamtehpwn]

Agrees if you thought it said "Coming to Nintendo 64" at first.

[SlyFoxC]

i read that and was like WTH?!!!

[SantistaUSA]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! lol :p

[a_squirrel]

It got me too *laughs*

[TheDeadMetalhead]

You are now imagining Battlefield 3 on Nintendo 64 playing just like Goldeneye.

I'd buy it.

[R834]

haha - I read that too! :)

[FinalSpartan]

Wii 2 version will look like PC version.

[BattleAxe]

Your brain looks like the 8 bit Nintendo version.

[matey]

atually better when its a revamped R700 it will mean more in line with HD 6000 series

[The_Claw]

sorry dude but i dont think the wii 2 will be out this coming november so no, it wont have bf3 or mw3. maybe later after project cafe actually launches.

[Zydake]

I don't think you guys noticed but with all that money they made off the DS Wii and now the 3DS these guys aquired a lot of money. With that money they can make something unstoppable unlike Sony and Microsoft where both corps have different products like TV's, phones or computers but Nintendo only has one focus which is gaming. With that they can use a lot of money to get some good research done.

[sourav93]

Yes. Sony and MS have other products as well. More products = more sources of finance. Hence, they can use the money for any section of the company they give priority to. So you see, sony and ms has more options unlike Nintendo.

[SleazyChimp]

Yeah cuz really Nintendo just basically re-package a game cube and gave it a new waggle controller and sold to consumers again. So there is some logic to what your saying. By doing this Nintendo was the only console maker that was making a profit off their console right out the gate. Which would give them a sizable war chest. Its gonna need it if they really plan on taking Sony and MS head on and try to beat them at their own game.

[Maddens Raiders]

another purely speculative & *wishful* article. Pathetic.

[2fk]

i would never get BF3 or MW3 on anything Nintendo

[BeastlyRig]

lol I would if it looked like the pc version!

[sikbeta]

So you would not get it for a Nintendo console then :P

[2fk]

Nintendo has a lot of money...they need to make their consoles better becuz the graphics are way out dated and they need a actual controller

[Panthers]

They only have a lot of money because of the recent success of the Wii and DS. That being said, they are still nowhere near the size of Sony or MS, mainly because those companies have many other industries.

I doubt they are going to change direction with their next console, because right now I dont see them in direct competition with Sony or MS. Thats how they are able to be so successful.

[matey]

there building the ultimate console 4 power im betting no console will beat this its got DX 10.1/11 SM 4.1 and a 900mhz + gpu and custom triplecore clocked higher than 360 so think in the 4.2ghz range or above this beast will demolish PC because when optomized 4 consoles these GPU,s out perform PC look at what 360 did with DX9 tech with BF3/C2 ect almost as good as PC on medium settings this Nintendo STREAM will rule in Hardcore gaming as Nintendo are concentrating on gaming with 3DS/STREAM so they will trow big money at devs if need be think GTA5 timed exclusive with proper photo realism.

[Munky_VIII]

Would be pretty sweet!

[Shok]

That'd be a huge kick-in-the-balls to the HD fanboys.

[Dart89]

I think it would go something like this.

[theEx1Le]

I couldn't help but lol, bubs up :)

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

HD Fanboys? (That's a new one).

Then by your logic, PC Gamers (which there are a lot of ''HD Fanboys'') are not affected.

[Shok]

"HD fanboys" = 360/Ps3 Fanboys. We all know this. The 360 and Ps3 are called the "HD Consoles" or "HD Twins", therefore, fanboys of them can be called "HD Fanboys".

Again, you know this. Don't act as if you don't.

[RastaCC]

I would like to find out where you got this term "HD Fanboys." I suggest you stop using it because it sounds ridiculous. HD twins? WHO CARES WHAT YOU PLAY GAMES ON!

[Shok]

All because you may have never seen the term doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And I know you've heard "Hd consoles" before, don't bullshit. So logically, fanboys of "HD consoles" are considered the "Hd fanboys". It's simple logic dude.

[R834]

If liking HD because I don't have to squint through pixelation means I'm an 'HD Fanboy' then so be it.

Who would actually choose SD over HD!?

[ChickeyCantor]

Thats not even his point.

The last 4 years this generation of gamers have been fapping over everything thats promoted with the tag "HD".
The irony in all of this is that PC gamers are actually HD gamers. But its the console gamers going on about HD stuff on their console.

So when Shok said: "HD fanboys", it was damn clear who he was talking about.
If you didn't then you havn't been around much.

[SleazyChimp]

The same people who who justify shitting in the woods over indoor plumbing!

[solidsnake222]

Your joking, right?

[fluffydelusions]

I still remember Nintendo censoring mk1...

[sourav93]

Lol I can just see it happening. You're running through the alley. You breach the door. You go towards the exit and the moment you brother in arms get shot and loading screen comes where you play mario for 5 mins. Then its cutscenes with some guy explaining what happened.

[NateCole]

lol! it would be so funny if it does. Makes me wonder if indeed the Wii2 is coming this year.

[Shackdaddy836]

Would be cool. That and a new mario/donkey kong/mario kart game will probably entice me to buy the console. As long as they don't make their controllers too expensive. I am still pretty iffy about that...

That two year head start Nintendo will have will really bring in the $$$$ too...

[hoops]

If the rumors are correct and this new Nintendo system does have what these rumors claim in specifications, then it would be only logical for Dice and EA to put this game on the new Nintendo system.
It would be the best performing version for consoles by leaps and bounds...IF these rumors are true about its specifications....

[DontShoot-Me-Bro]

If they think that Battlefield 3 & Modern Warfare 3 are coming out for the next Nintendo.

THEN....

that means they believe that the next Nintendo console is coming out this year, and before November?...

Even if they announce the next Nintendo at E3, I highly doubt they are also going to release it this year.

[pepsilover_2007]

hope fully an actually hd call of duty :)

[RastaCC]

I really hope the disagrees were because you made hopefully into two words. They haven't been HD

[Infernostew]

Coming to Nintendo 64 mulitplayer!!!!

[mamotte]

hahahahah I read the same thing, I was like "wait, the N64 can afford 64 players? oh, wait..."

[Kamikaze135]

If the console rumors are true (launching in the Fall or early 2012), then it would make Nintendo's next system more powerful than the PS3 and 360 so I wouldn't doubt it. And Nintendo's system SHOULD be more powerful than the current gen system since it's supposed to be a next gen console.

I don't see why people are skeptical about this.

[damnyouretall]

no way in hell nintendo will gimp with a new console equally powerful as current gen, im sure it wont happen twice anyways. something on par with direct x11 would be cool. who knows, ill buy it for my kid and i might own a game or 2 for it myself :)

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

.

[RyuCloudStrife]

Nintendos console will have a revamped version of said card.

Don't know what revamped means? Google is your friend :)

EDIT: Anyways at the end of the day it's all just speculation, nothings been confirmed so ease there boy...

EDIT 2: @ BELOW:

Your just mad you FAIL

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

.

[arjman]

@The_Science_Guy
I think you fail, it doesn't matter how refined or revamped it is, if it's based on the R700 then it's outdated.
Example: If an ATI 5770 (Low-Mid range R800) beats an ATI 4870 (High end R700) then the Wii is only going to be as powerful as a 5870 max. That in itself is a major push as well as the 4870x2 (the most powerful consumer R700 card is only as powerful as a 5870.
I can guarantee you that the Wii 2 won't use a dual GPU R700, or even a 4890 equivalent, due to heat and power issues.
In fact it's a stupid move by Nintendo using an R700 series GPU when the R800 series is so much better.

Not saying it won't be powerful, compared to a PS3 or 360 it will annihilate them both (with proper coding), ATI 4800>NV 8800>NV 7800.

Edit: How am I mad? Do you even know what an R700 is? Are you even aware of ATI and their cards?

[RastaCC]

if you are going to claim someone fails, don't fail while doing it.

For the billionth time, "your" is possessive and "you're" is the contraction of "You" and "are." So "your" fail is not knowing the difference. Therefore, "you" "are" full of fail.

[ChickeyCantor]

Eh,

PS3 and 360 were outdated at launch too, their tech was in development for quite a few years.

@Arjman,

That doesn't mean anything.
The fact that ATI and Nvidia have been rebranding their chips, just gives away that a customized ( and not to mention Dedicated) GPU could outperform so many other GPU's, without falling short for the next few years.

[arjman]

Erm, yes it does. Are you saying that Fermi is just a rebadged G92? or that Cayman is just a rebadged R600? So die shrinks and core mods count as rebranding?

They only rebrand the crappy laptop GPU's and the ultra low end GPU's. You're probably referring to the HD2000 series and the 9800 series. I can guarantee you that using, for example, a chip on par with a 5870 is going to make a massive difference compared to a 4870.

The only reason the PS3 and 360 produce acceptable graphics is because of the extreme coding and optimisation that developers put into the hardware. But surely it's better to use the most powerful hardware available, so that you can carry that on for even longer, using better graphical effects?

[ChickeyCantor]

"Erm, yes it does. Are you saying that Fermi is just a rebadged G92? or that Cayman is just a rebadged R600? So die shrinks and core mods count as rebranding?
"

I'm glad you aren't looking at the bigger picture here. Thank you for you your contribution.

[RyuCloudStrife]

it has more then half a gig of RAM...

[Graphics]

Everyone, put your wiis, ps3, and 360s on ebay now while they are still worth something.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I'll believe It when I see it.

[Thepro318]

SUP kwietstorm i agree with dat statement.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Ha!

[ZBlacktt]

If you read the title pretty fast. This is what you see, lol.. Battlefield 3 Coming to Nintendo 64.

[DNAbro]

that's what i thought

[Honky Kong]

wii/wii support will be around so why not focus next on the market they had once and only lost for one generation. Nintendo already roped in all the new casual gamers now its time to get back the hardcore and turn a few wii grandmas into killing machines...
im pretty sure the wii was just another smart move in a long road of success.

[ENDOFDAYS]

ps3 could handle 64 players in battlefield with no problem im sure of it, they just dont want to make the 360 look weak. ps. MAG 256 NO LAG.

[Shackdaddy836]

MAG doesn't have destruction and has pretty mediocre graphics. And for MAG you only see ~60 people at most.

[hoops]

The PS3 can handle 64 players....Like the Xbox360 can handle 50 player online with Front Lines Fuel of War....
Now look at the graphics and physics of those games mentioned?
Those games have visuals just a few steps above the PS2 and Xbox1. Moreover, those game engines for MAG and RFOM 1,2 and Front Lines Fuel of War do not have ANY form of Real Time lighting. Real time Dynamic Global Illumination. Absolutely no destructible environments. Low resolution Textures throughout.
All static backgrounds.
BF3 is on a totally different level than ALL games out right now just based on in game actual game-play as seen (and the game is not even finished as of yet)

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

You actually think the PS3 can run BF3 with 64 players with almost full procedural destruction, ALL Real Time Lighting and Real Time Effects that are present and more on the PC platform?

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Shackdaddy836]

To add to that, didn't Frontlines use a modified BF2 engine?

[Pandamobile]

Frontlines was UE3.

[aj72]

its comments like these that make ps3 owners look like eagles fans. And i'm a ps3 owner AND an eagles fan lol.
EDIT: @ ENDOFDAYS

[jack_burt0n]

If ur thst desperate for BF3 just spend $350 and build a mid level steam box, will crap all over whatever hardware nintendo will put out.

[SpaceFox]

I think it's too late, or too soon. They've already revealed the consoles it's being released for. They're already telling people to pre-order.

I doubt the new Nintendo console will even be out by November when BF3 releases. Just doubt it.

Maybe in the future we'll start to see these games being released on all 3 consoles. Why not? There's money to be made and the new console will be more powerful anyways.

[mrv321]

Both Sony and Microsoft have a huge problem, their console are 'Just fine' sure they don't look like PC but for a lot of people it's good ENOUGH, and they are willing to settle, each generation almost there's been a jump 8 bit to 16 bit, SD to HD a big difference... this generation won't have that on the box selling point of 'HD console'.

So instead their letting the PC game developers say stuff like Look at this game, footage is from a PC, consoles can't handle what we are doing. Microsoft and Sony are letting them say this, they could stop them because they have power and it'd be beneficial to be on Sony and Microsoft side. That's why we didn't see it as much in 2007 but in 2011 'CURRENT consoles can't handle this'.

Now BF3 will be a major release over a million people have seen the stunning footage and when they buy the game for their PS3 or 360 it won't look like it. Now in 2012( possible even this E3 ) Microsoft and Sony will both announce their new consoles. EA and Activision have already these system or atleast specs atleast and each developer has been order to program for it. If the next-gen consoles aren't announced this E3 look at BF3 framerate analysis you should see one card that sees a framerate improvement because this is the card that they paid more attention to for the next generation so they'd have less work in porting. My guess

Vram: 1GB ( this is plenty for 1080p the max these consoles will run )
GPU: My guess is a modified HD6950 trust me this will do EVERYTHING you want in 1080p 3D etc.
RAM: 2GB no need to go further, possibly 4gb ram is cheap
CPU: Quad or dual at like 2.5Ghz
HDD: 1TB ( cheap as chips )
Disk: Blu-ray

Now about the card... The HD695(7)0 this is just a guess, a cheaper but powerful card. It run BC2 UN-OPTIMIZED at 60FPS at 1900X1200 which is greater than 1080p so it can very easily to Maximum detail 1080p Bad Company 2. It's also DX11 ( Don't know how much future proofing with DX12 but DX11 is new ), now it wouldn't be the exact card but a heavily modified one, some built in stuff like the Xenos chip from the 360 which is basically the ATI Radeon X1900 and that card is so old... OPTIMIZATION does so much for cards and that's why the HD6950/70 would be plenty.

[arjman]

Agreed about that, a 6900 series card would last several generations with focused optimization.

[Mattey]

zelda on 64 rocked. its cool shit.

[BeAGamer]

Goldeneye 64 > BF3

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

I have never bought a Nintendo console but have played on them, right now the Stream is really tempting and I wouldn't mind selling my PS3 for it.

[Big_Dom]

"There are many “hardcore” gamers who are embarrassed to talk or even mention the name Nintendo in a serious conversation about gaming"

Yeah, and those would be gamers that are about 10 years old or less, someone who has only played this gen of consoles...in the last year or so, or people that are completely fucking thick and haven't a clue about gaming in general. Those aren't "hardcore" gamers. Fact.

[Zydake]

Well fucking said

[Desert Turtle]

Bubbles for you.

[artdafoo]

LMFAO, It doesn't matter if the Wii 2 will be 10 times more powerful than 360 or PS3 it will still be full of shovel ware and games geared towards soccer moms and kids under 10. Also, STFU with the PS3 can handle 64 players online talk. Yes it can ,but not with full destruction and vehicles, get it into your thick heads.

[ChickeyCantor]

you're mad...I can sense it trough the digital produced image which is now on my screen.

[earbus]

After getting ylod and not liking the ps3 games i would gladly go back and support nintendo hd ,and 360 pc.

[a_bro]

sure Tsim Fukis...

[ivant]

Who cares about the Wii anymore?

The Wii was successful due to being relatively cheap AND motion contols and fun/social games.

The 360 & Ps3 now have their motion controllers and motion-centric games.

So let the Wii 2 come. It will no doubt be more powerful than the current 5+ year old technology. But unless it offers something entirely different, it will never have the success that the Wii had.

Sony needs only to quadruple the Ram and improve the Operating System and the Ps3 will dominate this generation for the next 10 years .... getting slimmer and cheaper.

And this Ps3 Plus would easily be able to do 64 player Battlefield 3.

[Neko_Mega]

Anything to piss people off.

[Phi39582]

I'm a 37 yo gamer.....and I can state with historical backup that Ninetendo has NEVER been the "hardware to have". Please don't confuse stock and profit margins as a scale here, it is strictly linked to Sega consistently beating their ass in the early years, TG16, Intellivision, Playstation, PS2, you name it, and it has consistently beaten Nintendoodoo. There isn't anything here that will shock me, possibly "Angry Birds" on a controller, but BF3???? I sure am glad I have a PS3 and 360, because that along with PC will be the only way to play.

[PS360PCROCKS]

sooo since Dice made an engine for the future the new Nintendo console will get BF3 with 64 players? Lol who would want to buy BF3 on the Wii 2 in like 2-4 years?

[gamerben]

I misread this article headline as Battlefield 3 coming to Nintendo 64.

That is all.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

was the fucken title suppose to be a pun. seriously

[HaVoK308]

If you are embarrassed to mention the Wii or admit you enjoy it's games you are No Gamer. Let alone a so-called Hardcore gamer. More like a pathetic dork who should probably hit the gym and gain some confidence.

One of the more moronic things I have read in awhile. It's fitting that I read it here.

[yarbie1000]

And yours is one of the more moronic comments I have read since you obviously have a hard time reading and then understanding and comprehending those statements.

1 - I said many people are - nowhere did I say I was embarrassed.

2- I end by saying I am pulling for Nintendo and hoping they come out on top and I would gladly jump on board.

Looks like instead of hitting the gym you should hit school and learn how to use your brain cause your idiotic words and muscles are doing you no favors. Move along troll

[Der_Kommandant]

I read...

Battlefield 3 Coming to Nintendo 64

I was like WTF

[Relientk77]

That's wat I saw too

[InTheLab]

Embarrassed to talk about Nintendo? Maybe the kids that ruin CoD multiplayer are embarrassed, or maybe the people that hate fun are embarrassed.

I'm actually embarrassed that I clicked the link to read this nonsense.

[LordLaguz]

If it was true, i would laugh, Die, and then laugh again (Zombie)

Don't get me wrong, Wii has potential, and its online system is decent (Mario kart wii, monster hunter tri) but 64 players in a FPS? that's too much

Also, the wii need better defenses against hacking/cheating.

But it would be fun to see hackers using aimbot in the top of a mountain getting kill after kill with a sniper rifle. after all, targets wont lack.

(Sorry for any misspells, English is not my main language)

[Sanasoke]

i saw Gameblog.fr , an interview from the executive producer of battlefield 3. and he said than the 64 players in one game will be only on pc because consoles are not enough powerful for the moment .

[Liamario]

The rumoured specs of Wii 2 are unimpressive. It's only a little bit more powerful than PS360. 360 has multiplayer locked down with Live and Sony has more first party studios than the other to combined. The wii 2 hasn't a hope if eating into sony or microsofts share. The only area it can beat them is in it's own niche. Producing games for the system that won't work or can't be done on the other two.

[LOLOLFFSA]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaah!

- This made my day!

[tigertron]

Give me online gamer tags like the PSN or XBL and I'd be more than happy to buy BF3 on Nintendo's next console. I don't see it working well with friend codes...

[TheEatingChampagne]

You are fucking retarded and you should stop writing articles
How is it a shame to own a Nintendo console? Only 14 years old kids that play COD may be ashamed but everybody else knows that first party Nintendo games are the most amazing and fun games out there

[yarbie1000]

Maybe you should try READING ARTICLES - whos the retard? Where did the writer say HE WAS ASHAMED? Nowhere - try to actually read and comprehend the article before making dumb comments

[Ninjamonkey82]

Im willing to believe its a posability. It is a new system new specs and knowing dice they will want to preform.

[matey]

This is true EA have had a dev-kit 4 a year or more its the info of revamped ATI R700 series in other words at the least HD 4850 GPU in Wii2/STREAM so its like PC in High settings i cant wait 64 players on that wow screens so u can see who ur playing voice chat the lot STREAM 4 the win

[Noctis106]

ROFL! Only idiots believe this!

[kesvalk]

ppl keep hyping this rumours and all you guys will get is disapointment, i said this many times now, and this is the last time i say...

stop hyping this like the the second coming of jesus!

[zero_cool]

So if wii 2's specs are correct then it might have an graphics processing performance advantage over 360 since 360 also only has a single gpu to rely on for graphics processing performance but to think wii 2's gpu can even compete with playstation 3's combined graphics processor performance of both processors working in parallel is just foolish talk.

[zero_cool]

Also take into consideration nintendo are tight wads when it comes to spending money so that means they will only spend enough many to make wii 2 acceptably powerful enough to compete in the high definition core gaming space not powerful enough to outperform both consoles because as long as i've known nintendo they normally take baby steps towards newer technology standards every console generation.

[bozebo]

64 players can only happen with dedicated servers.

But yeah, the next nintendo console should be considerably better than the PS3 and 360.

[zackacloud]

Hd fanboy looooooool

How about nintendo fanboy who hate ps3 and xbox360 ?

Do u know that gt4 na ver. on ps2!!!! Support 1080i hd

So nintendo it far behind a real techs that cost

Next gen we will hear

CG graphics fanboy ?

It just something nintendo can't reach it in the same gen because they afraid from lost their fanboy if consoles cost a lot

[DEagle-izer]

Am i the only one who thinks that Battlefield and Nintendo in the same sentence is weird???

[SuperbVillain]

Why does Nintendo get so much hate now? I grew up with nintendo....and playing all those 'kid games' back in the day were some of the best years of gaming i've ever had.Ok time for a joint...
