Hopefully they have a blu-ray, dvd-player, and usb slots so if I want to watch a movie I can put my usb memstick into it. Will see. Introducing the Nintendo Fusion!
Sounds like bullshit. Nintendo doesn't really have a choice but to stick with the WiiU for, at the very least, as four year generation span. To release a new console so soon is an insult to the people who purchased a WiiU.
Nintendo Fusion may just be an upgrade for the Wii U and 3DS. It would lead to Wii U games that used the 3DS as a controller, or had connections or items you could only get with a Link to those consoles.

Not according to the video OP posted and the articles that video was referencing. The rumor is that fusion is a standalone handheld/console. Which would be insane because Nintendo already has trouble communicating what the WiiU is to consumers. I can't imagine them trying to sell something even more confusing.

Besides that would mean they're not just nixing the WiiU, but the incredibly popular 3DS. They're not going to kill off a popular handheld with plenty of life in it on a major gamble.

They put a Gamecube in the Wii's, but that's basically it.
PS4 and Xbox One have both been making sequals and going strong, Wii U is trying to be a part of it.
But the wiiu doesn't have gcc plug-ins there's no reason for me to buy that piece of shit.

Yeah, but I was just stating the fact about the gamecube sequal, not how shitty the wii u is.

Nintendo has been getting steadily worse and worse ever since the SNES.

I mean their newest console is better than the Xbox 360/PS3, but it's still 6/7 years out of date and it doesn't have much third party support.

It's dumb to even consider this as plausible

This is exactly why I find all of this so hilarious. Just another case of people believing everything they see on the internet without actually fact checking it

I'm not surprised that the Wii U (or should I say the Pee U) ended up as a failure which explains why it flopped, the one thing that did surprised me is that Nintendo is considering on making a 9th Generation Gaming Console.

As soon as I took note of this I was like "you have GOT to be kidding me!* and on the serious side, dose Nintendo even have enough money to produce a 9th Generation Gaming Console so soon? Personally that's just screwed up especially due to the sheer fact that the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One have already been released for nearly two months now.

Taken for granted if Nintendo released their 8th Generation Gaming Console on the same month of the same year the Playstation 4 and Xbox One where being released, things would be much more interesting.

Instead Nintendo is making the wrong possible choices, the current CEO isn't even resigning despite its 8th Generation Gaming Console ended in failure and if it's 9th Generation Gaming Console also flops, Nintendo might as well file for bankruptcy.

Nintendo probably has made the most Money off it's handhelds. It dominates the handheld industry.

The N64 disagrees. It went out in glory.

If anyone believes that's a real picture, their eyes need a slap, you can tell it's fake, besides Nintendo isn't bamkrupt, and they aren't stupid they know the Wii U wont kill them, there is no point in abandoning it.
