According to the development community, Nintendo has already begun briefing the game creation underground on its new machine.
Frustratingly still unnamed, Nintendo has stated that its next home console will be going to market in Spring of 2005, earlier than projections for PlayStation 3, and in line with most estimations for the next generation of Xbox.
Talk abounds of an announcement at SpaceWorld this year, perhaps naming the next generation of GameCube, though realistically this is unlikely. What is likely however, is that Nintendo diehards will be treated to playable Mario 128.
