Tactile sensations Are the new Nintendo Revolution?

Today Nintendo has confirmed the date, time and location for the appointment looks more relevant than in the field of electronic entertainment. This is the Media Briefing that she and the other main companies in the industry, offer the occasion of the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Will be held on June 6 at 9:00 (local time) in the usual Nokia Theater.

It will then (near the end of the conference rather) when Satoru Iwata, president of Kyoto, leaving the scene with the successor to the successful Nintendo Wii under my arm. All these will be amazed, that we do not doubt, because the premise of the company from time to time this part is away from his rivals to the utmost, offering unique proposals, impossible to conceive (or do so without further waste) by Microsoft or Sony.

Already got the Wii and its motion sensors, branded competition fad to end by extending the concept Move Playstation and Kinect . Skepticism gave way to some of the most sold in the history of videogames and market opening that brought a smile still making few analysts were unable to foresee.

What is the next step? What else can evolve beyond industry to achieve the abolition of any driver? One of the most talked about rumors Coffee Project (code name for the next console) speaks of additional touch-screen controls for which we can think of quite a few applications. Attention to the latter that is speculation.

The machine could be dubbed Nintendo Feel and panels of yore be able to transmit tactile sensations to the user, that is, as the action on screen, the LCD controller associated with smooth or rough textures adopt, transmitting different sense of toughness. It sounds crazy, but the same was said at the time of inventions such as vibration or even the Wiimote, then standardized.

Complied with the rumor, Nintendo would give the stroke and leave their opponents without any possibility of response. Among other applications we referred, in addition, these small screens could serve not only to display ingame additional information (maps, for example) but also to transfer the TV game in charge, so that we can continue playing even moving away from the classroom as long as the drivers are within the range of reach of the console. Also allow (obviously) keep touch control desktop games.

Various rumors have released a few hours ago Kotaku , including the machine will dispense with hard drive, opting for 8GB of flash memory (16 times more storage capacity than Wii but well away from the basic option for Xbox 360 back in November 2005 .) It also maintain compatibility with SD cards.

The console, as has been saying for weeks, would support resolutions up to 1080i / p and graphically equate what they can do 360 and PS3 today. The disc format would also change, from the current DVD to a new medium capable of storing up to 25GB.
