Nintendo might be the first of the Big Three to announce a new console following the step into next generation gameplay, according to multiple reports, which claim high-profile sources have divulged sensitive information on the company’s next project.
Game Informer kicked off the proceedings, revealing that the Wii successor will run games at high-definition resolutions, though several technical comparisons to the PS3 and Xbox 360 are floating around–so we don’t know how graphics will look compared with current HD consoles. Nintendo has already begun showing the console to publishers to gather interest, a key move which could help bring multi-platform triple-A titles to the new system.
Game Informer’s source said, “Nintendo is doing this one right. [It’s] not a gimmick like the Wii.”
CVG reports that “well-placed international industry sources” revealed the console will in fact be more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox 360. Information on an all-new controller has also surfaced, and it will reportedly feature a HD screen. That’s a high-definition screen … on a controller.
Both reports have common ground regarding the system’s debut: this year’s E3 in June. Game Informer’s source suggested that it may even be revealed before then, so Nintendo fans have a lot to be excited about.
