It won't be mobile. I can guarantee that to you right now.

My money is on Wii U

Things like the Super Mario 64 DS mini-games are the most likely. Don't expect proper full on games like we get on the other consoles.

Or we have differing tastes in games. Has nothing to do with double standards. I question your criticism of Nintendo for doing sequels over the other ones when Nintendo's sequels are few and far between, typically one per device rather than annual which happens on the other formats. Why is it a problem for Nintendo to have a sequel to say Mario every few years but not Ubisoft for their annual Assassin's Creed and so many other examples? Especially as Nintendo's sequels are usually vastly different to their predecessor (New Super Mario Bros. series notwithstanding)

You love the Rumble series really. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Only one of those that interests me is No Man's Sky

It's happening!

I never make mistakes... ...I'm just sometimes accidentally thinking of an alternate timeline. :p

Not really. I've not really found anything enticing on other platforms. There's a couple of "oh, that'd be nice if I had the console", but nothing I feel like I'm missing out on. Haven't touched my 360 since GTAV and my PS3 is just a BluRay/Netflix/4oD machine now. The Nintendo platforms provide what I need. I don't care about military shooters, hyper realistic graphics or games that rely too much on narrative and less on actual gameplay, so there's little out on the other platforms that are enticing to me at this point. I also don't like the seeming lack of quality control that exists on the other platforms. Too often games are put out, and there have to be huge patches either day one or soon after (or in Halo's case, 6 months after) just to fix it and bring it up to be a quality product. Nintendo's games are mostly without this, seldom even having a patch and often when it does get a patch, it's typically to add new functionality rather than just to fix things. What will change that? Red Dead Redemption sequel. Maybe Assassin's Creed Victory (I've wanted Victorian London for ages). Mass Effect that takes it back to basics and a few others. Nintendo's games really, they bring out a joy in me others don't. While playing through various games, I feel "Yeah this is a decent enough game. Well made, long, compelling etc.", but while playing Nintendo made games, I just end up with a big grin on my face. When I die in a stage, rather than utter profanity, I just burst into laughter. That's what gaming is to me, and that's why being Nintendo only so far this generation hasn't ruined gaming for me. If anything, it saved it after the mundane feelings I was having towards the end of last generation.

I need to predict that Iwata will never give us all £10,000 :p

GAF was amused by my reactions, too haha

They had to reveal it to stop the media assuming they were dropping hardware support and going smartphone only.

GCN was 3 years old when the Wii was announced. When this is actually announced, Wii U will be, too. Now remember, Nintendo have said that the next handheld and console will share OS and have similar architecture. It's not that unfeasible for both to come out in 2017

Splatoon, Greninja and Jigglypuff if the South African retailer is right, and so far it has panned out.

It's not unconfirmed for the west. They said outright that this is a global strategy

Have you seen the news today?

Yes and https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/pokemon-tcg-online/id841098932?mt=8 If you want to see what Nintendo is doing, you just have to look at how Pokémon has been doing it.http://www.serebii.net/apps/

The press release says the idea is for both.

You mean a Nintendo format having a lifespan of ~5 years like every other one? Nobody argued with you on this.

So the gaming and tech media then?

Pokémon Shuffle is another game that would work well on phones. Hell, it has over 1 million downloads already and lots of purchases.

No. I believe, based on what Iwata has said, that we will have two separate devices. However, they have been developed in unison as one project. They will share OS and have similar architecture. Handheld will be weaker. Console will be stronger. They won't be a hybrid. We'll still have two different devices, they'll just have the most connected relationship of any Nintendo handheld/console. It'll be separate, and merged.
