iPod Update Sooner Rather Than Later? Nintendo Games?

[m-dogg]

Oh for the love of God Apple, please release an iPod with a capacity greater than 60GB. I'll take 80, though I thought we'd be over 100 by now! I don't care what else you do, just show some love for those of us with big music (and photo or video) collections!!!

They will have to be strong to get me to give my shuffle to my mom and buy one. I listen to it on my way to work while riding my bike. My shuffle gives me hope that if i dropped it(not under the wheels obviously) it would still survive.

But this all sounds pretty awsome. I can't wait for WWDC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New iPod nanos? Eventually, yes. The ability to play Nintendo games on your iPod? I HIGHLY doubt it... come on!

Girly colours have a market. I would rarely see a girl with a big black ipod video... Although there are. Certainly, it depends on many factors.
Colours are fun too.

If these two rumors turn out to be bogus or ThinkSecret later retracts it by claiming "delays due to technical difficulties", I think that'd be pretty much the end of TS. A lot of people keep saying WWDC is just for Macs, so these movie download and new Nanos rumors are very bold.

 

[mark!]

just give me an olive green one, or one like the mini. ill be fine.


and that nintendo stuff would be fine.

can i get the ipod with video for $250 eeducation please? thanks.

No No No No No.

There will be no nintendo games. Nintendo games require more inputs... Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, start, & select at the very least. The Nano has the multi-directional pad, yes, but only one button. Unless Apple changes the interface on the nano (unlikely), there will be no nintendo games.

Think, people, think!

I think TS has been over for a long time. When was the last time they got anything right? (And getting something like a ship date on the fifth try doesn't really count as right)

Did you read the article? They said games would use a peripheral.

Oooooh, that was cold!
Eh, not really. I'm the only girl I know with a 30GB black 5G iPod, and I know about a million guys with them.... makes me feel... masculine?? Ugh. haha

And what kind of factors?

 

[BrianMojo]

I could see Nintendo-like games being a huge possibility. (Remember that someone uncovered 'stacker' and 'simon' in the firmware update...)

If they do intro fruit pastille shades again...

You can bet that they'll keep black in the line up with the same spec charged at a higher premium!

whoa whoa ! you saying my girlfriend wears the pants? she has the black ipod and i have white. She teases me constantly, but im tough, i can deal.

 

[nsjoker]

i'm calling bs to the nintendo games. you could technically control the games, but the touch sensitivity doesn't offer that good control to make the game fun. maybe something more complex than breakout, but simpler than super mario would work,

I've noticed at least with my freinds. The girls have black and the guys(myself included) have/prefer the white.

 

[hyperpasta]

Aye Caramba. Nintendo? For the love of god, WHY? It doesn't make sense.

Haha, that's hilarious. My friends overall prefer black, so... actually it's pretty evenly split among genders... one of my friends of each gender has white.... except for more of the guys have iPods, but... anywayyss.... yeah.

 

[neonart]

While I don't see the game thing really happening, I would be ecstatic if it did! There would probably be some little dock connector controller thingy!

It would be out of this world! Super Mario Bro's 2 on my iPod! Woot! I can already see the tiny princess pulling the little radishes out of the ground and flinging them at unsuspecting baddies!

Attached is my poorly made mockup of what would consume alot of my time.

EDIT: 1,000 posts! go macrumors! go markkk! w00t! i r teh r0xxxrz!

 

[stunna]

eh as long as their not those girly colors...

Why does it matter? choice is good for all.

Anyways if these rumors are true, I guess Apple will be joining the gaming business.

 

[macnews]

I would hope the ability to play video games would require a new interface, like a whole touch screen display. The default games on the iPod are difficult enough to play with just a click wheel.

If a new iPod is to be announced, I could see this being it. The ability to program games would fit with the theme of a developers conference. Aside from that, I doubt WWDC would be used to just introduce a video iPod. Certainly could be wrong but I doubt it.

 

[ghall]

My concept is the best! It's only compatable with the video iPod though because the nanos are to frigging small to play video games on.

Hmmm it's disturbing to see the iPod has similar proportions than those old Game Boys. This mockup is very cool but I highly doubt Apple would release such a thing.

 

[mark!]

yeah i dont think they'd put buttons over the clickwheel.

 

[mackiwi]

I can really see the new Nvidia chipset being used for nintendo games.

Doesn't the new nintendo machine - Wii - let you download old school nintendo games for a few dollars each?

Sounds like something that will be on a new itunes store.
