NOW THAT'S MORE FUCKING LIKE IT! HELL YEA NINTENDO! Nevertheless there is no saying Sony and MS won't beat this but hey atleast this is something I expect from a next gen machine! Hope these specs are true.

Lykos is gonna like the codenames.

LOL. I still don't like mario that much, I'm afraid.

Not bad, not bad.

They got the hardware down

Hopefully they can rake in some good third party support. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not the biggest Mario, Zelda, or Mertroid fan out there.

Next gen Zelda would be awesome, sadly, this is the only Nintendo IP I really care for.

I'm also on the same boat. To me 3rd party support is much more important than 1st party. 3rd party titles will make up the majority of games available on all next gen platforms.

This hardware revelation won't mean that Wii 2 will necessarily get the best version of multiplatform titles but atleast it means that developers will port most 3rd party games to the Wii 2. If I had to go with a next gen format though I'd probably stick with either an Xbox or a Playstation because those platforms are bound to be significantly more powerful

GPU almost 4 times more powerful than both the 360/PS3, yet the CPU is weaker? Doesn't make sense.

1.5GB of RAM?

Well done Nintendo, had me worried with the rumoured 512mb that was floating around on the net.

The reasoning for the CPU to be lower could be to cut down manufacture in order to sell for a lower price while gaining profit....i think?

The CPU they have is more powerful than the 360's but slightly less powerful than the PS3's. TBH I don't think this will be a major problem. CPU power isn't something that game developers were really lacking this generation. GPU is faster and 4 times more powerful plus they have 3 times the RAM. This is where it's going to count.
