Topic: Iwata Comments on Nintendo Next Generation

[WindyMan]

It's not exactly the comment you've been waiting for, but at least it's something.

You know that mysterious product Nintendo plans to reveal at this year's E3 Expo? The one that's not going to be the next-gen GameCube or GBA? Well, in an interview with a Japanese newspaper, Nintendo president Satrou Iwata let out a little hint of what we might be expecting in a year or two when talking about that mystery Nintendo product.

When asked about what the upcoming consoles will be like, Iwata commented that the current systems have basically reached their limits, implying that making a new game system similar to the ones currently available isn't something that should be done. He then went on to talk about Nintendo's new and unique game device, saying that the concept of the thing will offer a hint of what we can expect for Nintendo's new game system.

It has been heavily rumored that this new gaming device would simply be the recently released Chinese iQue, but after hearing what Iwata had to say, it's probable that it won't be. E3 2004 is only four months away now, and it will probably take that long to figure out what Nintendo has up their sleeves.
