Nintendo are to collaborate with NEC on the next generation of Nintendo home console, reports Bloomberg. Rumours point to a possible 2005 release, to directly compete with Sony's Playstation 3.
NEC have previously provided chips for the Dreamcast and, of course, the GameCube. They have also recently invested heavily in a new production factory in Japan.
It's good to know that Cube 2 (obvioulsy it won't be called that) is in the works but 2005?
Bit early if you ask me, still as long as it's backwards compatable thenI don't see it being a massive problem.
They said Cube has a good 5 years in it so games should still be released for it me thinks.

Turn based combat is great.
If ANYONE takes back Skies of Arcadia then I shall give you a good kicking.

If it is backward compatible it won't make much differenr. I will just go and sell my Gamecube and get that one!
It just gets better and better. Apart from our money, but hopefully it will be worth it.
I want to go into games development. And hopwfully if they do compete properly then we can silence the PS2 fanboys
Im my opinion (reply to original post) a new console in 2005 is no bad thing. It means Nintendo and Sony can finally *fairly* fight for market, and doesn't allow one or other to install a huge user base ahead of everyone. Plus, I will be ... in ... University come August/September 2005, hopefully doing games development, so I could a) afford it and b) 'understand' (no thesaurus to hand) the console/gaming better.

I hate turn based combat so I'm not sure about Skies of Arcadia, though with all the praise it's received I may have to give it a go.
I'll take it back if it smells.

Even though it will be my first time playing Skie of Arcadia I think that it will be great, especially since it won't be going multi format with the PS2 anymore. (Thank you Sega!)
