New Nintendo Console to Debut at e3?

New Nintendo Console Debuting At E3 This June, Launching In 2012, More Powerful Than Xbox 360 and PS3Nintendo's next console will debut at E3 in June, moving the maker of Mario and Zelda into the HD era. The news, first reported by Game Informer today, confirms rumors that have been swirling for months in the wake of slowing game releases from Nintendo.

Furthermore, we've heard that the machine will be more powerful than current-gen systems, meaning Nintendo, currently backing a Wii that is weaker in horsepower than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, will be showing a new console that is more powerful than those current competitors.

We've asked Nintendo for comment and will let you know if they shock us and spill the beans. Update: Nintendo responded to our inquiry with a standard "Nintendo does not comment on rumor or speculation".

E3 kicks off on June 7, though Nintendo's E3 press conference may occur the day before, if tradition holds.

So, new consoles. Still a rumor obviously but will do you think it's legit?

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WIIBOX

HOORAH

Great, it's more powerful than current consoles. Which means it will be right back where it started when PS4 and Xbox 720 come out.

Yeah from what I have seen so far, there will be LED touch screens on the PS4 console and im not too sure about the 720 but im sure Microsoft has something to compete with it.

Rumors are rumors.

And lol @ Sony and their "10 year plan". If Microsoft reveals their next console, Sony has no other options than to reveal theirs, or it will fall behind in sales and game development, even if it has better hardware...

Very interested. Could be good who knows.

I think that Microsoft said once that they will not unveil their next console until the day after Sony unveils theirs.

Hell yeah I can't wait

HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS.

THIS SHIT WAS JUST CONFIRMED.

With Nintendo pulling this, then the next generation of consoles won't be to far off. Give it another year and Microsoft and Sony will be announcing theirs. Shit, they might even show something off at E3 this year.

Nintendo stole the show at last year's E3. Will they "win" two E3's in a row?

This guy thinks so.

Nah, they'll hold it off until the next E3, so they'll have plenty of time to rip-off whatever it is that Nintendo has invented this time.
