Nintendo dev lord Shigeru Miyamoto?s told Popular Mechanics that motion control will most likely stay for the company?s next console, but that everything?s going to be? squished.

?My guess is that because we found this interface to be so interesting, I think it would be likely that we would try to make that same functionality perhaps more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient,? he said.

He added that the motion-based interface is now familiar to the masses.

?What we?ve been able to do is introduce an interface that is both I think appealing and at the right price for a broad audience,? he said.VG247/"]VG247[/url]

I read that as: Wii HD confirmed.

I doubt they'd release a "proper" new console being smaller then what the Wii currently is, that's gonna be really hard to do. So, I'm guessing it's going to be a Wii HD with a 1.8" DVD drive in there, to make it as small as possible. He's also probably meaning shrinking the internals of the parts inside the Wii and Wiimote in general, too.

how can they have a 1.8" dvd drive, that can't even play the games of the Wii right now, that would destroy backwards compatibility. Whatever system they come out with has to at least physically be wide enough to support a standard dvd sized drive definately.

I also doubt they can get HD components into a smaller package than the current Wii. At the minimum they will need a better graphics card than the one they have now and it's going to run hotter just because which would mean the need for better cooler, which usually means more space. If they can get a HD capable system into a smaller form factor than the current Wii, that also supports the current Wii games, i'll definately be amazed.

Huh? I'm pretty sure a 1.8" DVD drive would be able to play DVDs, considering, it's a DVD drive. 1.8" drives are shorter, no width taken off.

DVD discs are circular (12cm x 12 cm or about 4.6" x 4.6"). Unless more than half of the disc ends up hanging outside the case then they'll need something deeper than 1.8". It's only the height that doesn't really matter.

It doesn't really bother me how big the console is, as long as it looks nice and isn't bigger than it needs to be. I like the look of my Wii and my PS3. The controllers could be improved and they really really need better graphics. I love Mario Galaxy but it bugs the hell out of me playing it on my 60" 1080p and seeing jaggies on EVERYTHING. I don't expect the wii to come closing to my pc gaming rig but come on.

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
