Wii successor will surprise, Konno confirms

Nintendo's Hideki Konno, in charge of the 3DS hardware since 2008, has repeated that the company's next home console will surprise people. He did not confirm that 3D was planned for home consoles, of course. Previously, though, various Nintendo executives and producers made similar statements.

In a 45-minute interview with me, Konno said that simply transferring the 3DS' visual experience to a home console would not be enough. He also expressed doubts about peripherals needed for viewing 3D visuals, referring to glasses and proprietary screens alike. You will remember that Nintendo toyed with the idea of offering a separate autostereoscopic screen for the Gamecube, but canned the idea.

Konno went on to state that the strength of the 3DS was in offering 3D visuals out of the box. Also, its portability allowed for others to experience the device easily. When pressed about cooperations with movie studios, he could not confirm whether full-length 3D movies will be available on the console. So far, only movie trailers have been announced.

I'm sure nintendo will surprise everyone with their next console. The thing i'm most curious about is if they'll stick to motion controls or revert back to standard controllers.

Hello Falafelkid, I was wondering if you could comment on the new Conduit 2 GDC videos which appear to showcase dramatic visual improvements compared to the early videos. It looks like something closer to 360 and PS3 than what we are used to on Wii. How come we are seeing these type of gfx so late in the wiis lifecycle?

Hello Falafelkid, I was wondering if you could comment on the new Conduit 2 GDC videos which appear to showcase dramatic visual improvements compared to the early videos.´

Sorry I cannot. I have not really been watching the title very closely. I did have a nice chat with Eric Nofsinger at GDC, but we talked about other things. To tell you the truth, with ´GoldenEye´ and ´Call of Duty: Black Ops´ out on the same platform, ´Conduit 2´ will be an option at best, but no more.

Are you really talking to me? I have only ever removed spam from my site. You must have me confused with someone else.
