So? Sony will let anyone put their drives in anything, Microsoft could if they wanted to and so could Nintendo.

Sony want Blu-ray to be the standard replacing DVD and also they're make a shit ton of cash from it.

I agree, if any company will get the Blu-Ray Drive, it'll be Nintendo, although i'm wasn't expecting them not to use disks, it would of been nice.

Maybe instead of calling it the Wii 2 they should call it the Wii-Wii!?

Stop whining people. Wii rocks as it is. Highly impossible but it would be great

This wouldn't be the first time Nintendo worked with Sony on a disc-related product.
Remember, that's how the PlayStation was born - a CD drive add-on for the SNES which was later canceled by Nintendo, leading Sony to create their own console.

Great to play the same crap but in HD?

Ahh for God's sake... As every system Wii has got some crappy games. But as every system it has got some great games (and I personally think epic :/ )

Well, to this day, it's still not possible (to my knowledge) to play PS3 game backups on the PS3 system. They have been dumped and can be burned to a bluray disk, but they won't play. And of course, there's no emulator for it. But I think this has to do with the PS3 hardware, not the actual disk, since games for the system have been dumped. Bluray shouldn't put a stop to piracy, just make it more expensive and to deal with. The system is what will be the deciding factor.

Ive always thought that if the Wii was to get an HD version itll be an upgrade rather then a whole new console, something u connect to the Wii's usb drive complete with

A new Blu Ray drive
Play all original Wii games in 720
1 TB hard drive
SDXC support
Region Free

Isn't Sony trying to find a way to license Blu-Ray right now? And if there are already PCs with Blu-Ray drives, it's not that hard to believe that the next-gen Wii will have one.

anaxs · Oct 29, 2009

i hope this is true, sounds aweosme

ibrawl · Oct 29, 2009

hmmm if super smash bros brawl was had good graphics on the Wii. Image what would happen in the
"Wii 2".also by say "Wii 2" i doubt it will come out anytime soon, maybe in till the Wii start to go down in sales ,but not right know. It's still doing well. or in till the next era of systems comes.

EnigmaXtreme · Oct 29, 2009

Wii 2 sounds lame Wii Plus or Super Wii would be cooler

anaxs · Oct 29, 2009

maybe a whole new super smash bros will be released since it has been for every new console starting from nintendo 64

Lmao @ Super Wii. Wii 2 (We Too?) actually sounds decent since it fits with Nintendo's goal to bring gaming into the family.

spotanjo3 · Oct 29, 2009

Maybe 2010 is a typo.. More likely what it is true target for 2011 obviously.

stab244 · Oct 30, 2009

2011 makes sense for announcement since that is supposedly when the TS releases. Makes sense to annouce two devices at the same time that are compatible with one another.

Something like "And with the new Wii you can send copies of games downloaded to the Wii to the TS." It would be weird to have complete digital distribution... My internet is so crappy it would be pointless...

Hillsy_ · Oct 30, 2009

Maybe true. I remember Nintendo mentioning they wanted to match the Wii to the PS3 in terms of power. Brand name is important, so they may use the name Wii2HD. Also they are appealing more to the Japanese market this time. Microsoft are not a threat, meaning Nintendo and Sony together leading the way in Japan. It is not always about America and Europe.

el_venga · Oct 30, 2009

i agree with the 2010 date. also i want add that according some readings optical storage has reached its end or about to. a 250GB blu-ray disc was mentioned but seems doubtfull to be released, thats according to source, not 100% sure.

lol stop piracy with a bluray drive? Can't we still use HDDs?

DLing games would still take a crap load of time.

Until people know how to remove all the junk data. I don't think Nintendo would ever make a game more then 10GB. They don't spend that much time of their games!
