Depends on whether or not they think they can make a profit. If its inexpensive to port its likely they will. You guys may think you know what Nintendo fans are like, but I'm sure they try TES out.

If they aren't going to port to Mac, they aren't porting to Nintendo.

I see no problem, as long is to doesnt make use of any of that motion crap.

At the moment Nintendo's Fan base for such games like TES, COD, BF, pretty much non cartoony sport games is very small compared to 360/PS3 right now making such a game would be taking a major chance most publishers try to stay clear from things unless its certain they will make a profit. People do not buy Wiis for the "hardcoe" games because there is a very low number of them on it.

So if we will see a TES on Wii 2 it will be in 2013 if publishers sees that their fan base is on that platform.

It'd probably be in Nintendo's best interest to work out whatever deal they can with Bethesda to get Skyrim earlier... It'd do them good to have Skyrim as a launch title in order to get some more hardcoe gamers, but you're right, it'd be too risky at launch...

If the Wii 2's Skyrim had better graphics than Xbox 360... I might actually get it even after i have the Xbox version. I'm a nintendo fan at heart I've had every nintendo console since NES, but they let me down partly with the Gamecube and then.... the wii... I really hope they can redeem themselves in the eyes of those of us who brought Nintendo to what it is today... the oldskool fans who grew up, and don't want to play sissy mario games anymore.

Exactly, I hated the fact that the Wii had a Remote controller instead of the regular one and I hope this new console is better then the Wii or otherwise Nintendo will stay where they are at.

Skyrim with the Wii controller. Hell [censored]in yeah :celebration:

I would hold off buying the 360 version and buy the new Nintendo console just to play Skyrim on their motion controller. The only other competition to that is me being able to use whatever mods I want on the 360. But mabey Beth can work something out with Sony and have mods on that console too.

I really hope they announce if its possible, not possible, or if they're working or thinking about it.

Ya, I always loved Nintendo, when it was back when true Console wars happen and excellent quality games came out because of it sadly that ended when the xbox came into play now there really isn't any war at all.. all games are shared across platforms pretty much with 1 maybe 2 titles a year that are exclusives.

As i said in a another thread, devs are getting fed up with the limitations the 360/PS3 has at the moment. If Nintendo sticks to their roots and goes away from the "friendly family" crowd they will make a huge profit between 2012-2015 larger then what MS and Sony can dream of.

The most fun I ever had with the wii was with WIi Sports... after that i just made a couple attempts to play games on it... all which failed, except Twilight princess... but i heard that that was better on the gamecube. It was so lame how they made Link right handed for the wii...

That is something Nintendo should do. Appealing to kids is nice but what happens when they grow up. That's also a problem that Skyrim will have if ported to the new console as Nintendo doesn't really have a lot of mature content on their systems. I hope they do change though as they will still be lagging behind the 360/PS3 if they don't change their style.

ah, the sega vs Nintendo days... Sonic vs. Mario... I found it disgusting that Mario shared a game with that pathetic hedgehog on the wii (old-fanboyism coming out).

but yeah, Nintendo has that family friendly crowd on lockdown... Xbox's and Sony's attempts to capture the same market is only hurting them. Nintendo needs to hold on to the family friendly for the cash-flow, but expand and adapt. Gamer's are older now than they used to be, I feel like Nintendo Executives must not realize that, or they chose to neglect us, or perhaps the japanese's love for cartoony things is getting the best of them. Even if Wii would of had even 2 or 3 great "mature" titles, I wouldn't have considered it a failure

Skyrim being a launch title for Nintendo's next console, or at least be announced during/soon after launch, would be amazing. It would make me a very happy person.

I just find it funny how 'mature' seems to be anologous to 'burly white American hero with grey colour-scheme, blood and guns'.

If you ask me, Halo is far nearer your average kid boy's fantasy than Mario Galaxy ever would be!

Maturity has to do with storytelling (Mass Effect, Heavy Rain etc.), not artstyle or content. Though it goes without saying that Nintendo's first-party IPs have never been too strong on storytelling either.

Doubtful, the controller sounds odd and who knows if they'll have a diff dev architecture

well if you ask me, I would of loved Mario Galaxy when i was 7, And halo when i was 11 or 12.

Also, Little girls would like mario galaxy, as for halo... less likely...

Mario galaxy isnt an average boys fantasy because when i think of an average kid, i think of a 12-14 year old, and that's too old for Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy is more of a 5-8 year old's fantasy.

They'll probably call it the "Chi"

*dun dun chhhhh*

I'm getting conflicting reports about this new console. Just how powerful is it? Is it truly something with "next-generation" hardware, something that merely caught up to current-generation hardware, something right in the middle of the two generations, something that marginally improved over the current-generation consoles, something that is marginally behind the current-generation consoles, or something else?

Well we do know that all console makers tend to embellish a bit so we'll see when the console is actually released. My guess is that its improved over the current gen systems just enough that they can make the claim that its more powerful but not enough that it actually matters but thats just speculation.

So, do you mean to imply you believe it will be to the PS3 what the PS3 is to the 360?

I'd be stoked to play Skyrim on the new Nintendo, but I'm not gonna wait until next year to get it.

Currently the confirmed reports are that Nintendo's new console is more powerful graphically than the PS3. However, it's not the "next generation" of console gaming. It's just now on par/better with the current generation and does not have the limitations that the Wii had. This is actually a really smart move on Nintendo's part, since in a few years Microsoft and Sony will likely unveil their next generation consoles, which will definitely be very expensive. Currently the rumored price is set around $350-400 at ship, so it's comparable to the price of the Xbox 360 during it's launch back in late 2005. What Nintendo needs to do is regain it's lost hardcoe gamer base. All they have at this point are the unreliable casual gamers, who might buy a few games initially and the hardcoe Nintendo fans that will buy the console regardless of games/hardware. If Nintendo really wants to compete, not only do they need to make Project Cafe more accessible to gamers that are more prone to go towards Sony and Microsoft, but they also need to expand their 3rd party support. This would be necessary so they can get the same popular titles as the other two companies, while also having their AAA IPs that always sell well. Nintendo is taking a bit of a risk releasing a new console in between generations (look what happened to the Dreamcast), but if it pays off, they could be giving Sony and Microsoft a run for their money.

Basically but I'm not trying to create a console war here, I was just saying that alot of companies make a big deal that their product does something better even if it only improves by a very small amount. My guess is that it will be more powerful but the difference between it and current gen systems will be negligible. Also Nintendo has a track record of being more directed toward children and turning away from mature games and IMO they need to move on with the times, gaming is no longer just for teens.

I agree. I, for example, have felt so little attraction to the entirety of Nintendo's products of the 21st century (excluding Pokemon, of course ) that I am not even really looking forward to this new console nor do I expect it to be something I would opt to buy. Nintendo really doesn't strike me as a serious gaming company and they need to address that if they want my business, again. I still don't think they are showing signs of doing that, to be honest. Hardware is a large deciding factor for my own choice of console and if the new console only really caught up to the 360 7 years after its release or the PS3 6 years after its release, I've automatically no interest in this new Nintendo console.

On the other hand, technology moves on, new methods of construction replace the old, and newer components are more powerful, but more importantly, more energy efficient. 6 years is a very long time, and producing something only as powerful as a 360 or PS3 may actually be more expensive than making something stronger.

.....Who cares?

I agree. After the disappointment the Game Cube was, I lost all interest in the kinds of games Nintendo made. The Wii didn't appeal to me at all, and was more so a slap in the face to the gaming base, in my opinion, more than anything else. Sure, it had "motion sensors" and all that new jazz, but the games were silly, and the console itself degenerated from an entertainment system to recess. Nintendo really needs to step it into gear if they want to compete with Microsoft and Sony. But as I said, what they are doing is very risky. It will definitely pay off initially for the first few years, but who knows how much longevity the system will have after the next generation is released by Sony and Microsoft. Of course, if the new Xbox and Playstation cost well over $600 dollars (a bit ridiculous for a stripped down PC imo), who will be buying it anyways? May as well buy a PC at that point...
