Are you kidding ME!! Nintendo is going to have an all new system that will have a processor with 8! you heard it right, 8 Z80 processor cores(inelegant design). each running at 6mhz each! they also decided to dispense with a graphics chipset and do all graphics with the new processor. ram will be limited to a whopping 80k each core will be addressed it’s own 10k to utilize for various tasks eg: high quality midi, collision detection, colors etc.

It will be the pinnacle of the Less is more policy that the big “N” has adopted that has been so successful with the Wii.

And name of this new innovative console?

well, that’s easy. the Nintendo “Why”

My speculation are that the next logo will be transparent, and thus nintendo will dissappear from the game industry. (jk nintendo fanboys)

Uhhhhhhhhh……… I never said Mario was grey. He’s grey in the picture because Nintendo is officially getting rid of the red. It’s just a metaphor.

And they are saying “It’s been grey for years so stop using red.” Just because we’ve seen grey Nintendo logos doesn’t mean we knew that was the new “official” logo and that red was no good. In this letter they are formally asking the media to stop using red completely.

And you are right. Companies will likely put the logo in whatever colors they want. What’s funny is that most first-party Nintendo games still use red. Just look at the Wii versions of Zelda and Mario Kart.

Um letter seys that grey has been the logo color “for several years” now. Also, why did you say the color of Mario is grey as well? That’s not true at all lol

It doesn’t really matter, as other companies that develop for nintendo will put the logo in whatever color they want. SNES games somtimes had the logo color as white and not red.

Cursed color Nazis!
Gray just doesn’t suit Nintendo’s colorful games at all…
If they were going to change the logo, they should have made it a different color instead of just taking away the color…

I agree with Madpuppy, Nintendo ‘new’ look is just like their graphics on the Wii. BORING.

Nintendo just wanted a color (shade) to match the Wii and that color is bland pale gray. Just like the experience you have playing the Wii and browsing the Wii catalog of games.

Confirmed: Reggie thought the (ketchup) red logo was offensive to his people.

Cookigaki believes the reason is simple: Nintendo hates colors. And by the way, Cookigaki does not approve!
