Nintendo's new 3DS-focused Direct was today

[A Black Falcon]

Sure, but to be fair, has Nintendo ever not mentioned power at all in a new console announcement? That Wii U announcement had some tech-demo stuff in it that clearly was beyond the Wii's capabilities for example, which made the whole "people don't understand it's a console and not an addon" thing really hard to figure out, it took only moments for me to realize it was a console. But anyway, they clearly need to do a better job than that in terms of making clear what the system is, you can't have that kind of confusion starting out, but presuming they do do that, I think the issue more is that they're releasing hardware far behind the competition so they can't focus too much on power because it obviously doesn't hold up. But yeah, I agree, they should point out its capabilities in the announcement. Given how far Nintendo has gotten away from anything like that over the past 12 years or so I'm not really expecting them to do so in the detail they should, but it'd be a good idea.
