Then name names.

So has Nintendo decided that keeping prices low is no longer a priority? $250 3DS, $40 3DS games, new console more powerful than the PS3 with HD...can't imagine that going for less than $400 to start.

My anonymous sources say that it's actually not going to cost money, but will require a daily sacrifice of a day old chicken. With the built in camera and carbon collection system, they will be able to disable it remotely if you don't do as you're expected.

It can be anywhere between $400 and $500. $450 maybe?

But yeah, if they don't include a blu-ray and just get one of the most recent designs from AMD or NVIDIA it can be done under $400, I think (that's what my sources say).

I'm not getting into a philosophical debate about anonymous sources. Suffice it to say, I highly doubt that Game Informer is simply making shit up.

Yeah, burn those bridges!

Point is, GI is someone to be trusted. Even if none of this was coming out right now, is anyone surprised there's a new Nintendo console on the docket?

I wonder if they'll be pimping 3D on this thing like with 3DS. Sounds like it has the horsepower to do it...

As long as there's a slider on the back to disable that nonsense.

Oh, I do trust GI on this - but it's the "Me Toos" that drive me crazy.

Oh, that's fine. Then call out the "Me Toos" and not the original breaker of the story, whom (as far as I can tell) was GI.

Though it's certainly possible other people have other enough info (wtf, self?) they were sitting on and took this opportunity to get a piece of the traffic pie while also not naming names.

Or are you just pushing your sour grapes on us?

I agree.

Groucho promised me exclusive news about the new Nintendo system if I slept with him, but afterwards he just ate my tuna club sandwich and left.

Is that a euphemism?

Ah, okay. That wasn't clear.

Personally I wouldn't trust Kotaku if they told me my own social security number.

Mary Todd, is that you?

Yes. The Chinese ban on Time Travel doesn't apply to first ladies!

I'm gonna pass on this if some stupid motion thing is the primary controller. The motion stuff is great for party/exercise/dance games. But it completely ruins any serious games.

If they bring back the standard controller, and leave the motion junk for niche games, I'm in.

Also, if they do go with motion control, then for fuck's sake make it 1:1 from the start. Don't sell the system and then say "Oh wait, we just made it even better...for $20 per controller."

Like I said - I trust GI on this. Just like I trust that the announcement is going to be at E3 (this from my anonymous sources, and totally serious.)

You say that bolded part, but then the first site you mention is GI. Don't act like it was clear that you weren't lumping them all together.

Because it was the order I heard the releases.

So, did GI broke some kind of NDA?

Imagine if they actually have everything ready, and are going to release it this holiday season.

Nope.

no way it comes out this year.

I say I won't be interested in this but then they'll announce a Zelda game or a new Mario game and I'll jump on it. I hardly ever use my wii. Only, basically, for Zelda or Mario games. That's why it's a tough sell for me to jump on a new system like this.

Cool, I plan on going to E3 so it'll be nice to have something new.
