Since Nintendo first launched Gamecube in 2001, there has been a lot of controversy around the net whether it would be the last system by Nintendo or not. This old rumour is obviously bogus because Nintendo revealed new plans for their next console, codename: N5. Nintendo plans to release their next generation console in 2006, rather that 2005, which had been initially suggested. Nintendo claims it has reliable information that Microsoft and Sony also plan to release their next generation offerings in 2006 rather than 2005. Due to this change, Nintendo has pushed back N5’s release date while still sticking to their commitment, to be the first company to come out with a next generation console.

More information about N5 crept up during the holidays as the president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata had an interview with a Japanese gaming magazine: Famitsu.

Famitsu: What can you tell us about the Gamecube 2 or N5?

Iwata: It will be able to use the games already created in the previous generation (backwards compatible). And it is something that will work. Side performances and graphics, one reached today a kind of limit with a quality, which is already close to realism, and it will be difficult to still much better do. The role of Nintendo is thus to study other ways in order to improve the experience of the player.


What does this all mean? In plain terms, N5 would be able to play games from the current Gamecube and possibly upgrade graphics. What else holds for N5 we will have to wait and see.
