Leaked Specifications List For The Nintendo Wii 2

[doyama]

Support for Blu-Ray would only make sense if Nintendo was actually serious about being a 'media center' for it's offering. This seems unlikely due to their strategies. The licensing cost associated isn't going to be much benefit to them. And the x360 has shown that dvd-dl disks are fine for your HD GAMING!!!!111!!11! stuff. While yes MS is trying out their new 'media format' of some kind it's mostly an AP strategy, since the disk data increase is only 1GB so not exactly a lot there compared to existing DL of 8GB.

Not surprisng they'd be sticking with powerpc and amd for their cores as well.

Though probably fake I'd say the speculation contained probably won't be too far from the truth. They basically took known stuff, and extrapolated it out to a reasonable facsimilie of what might occur.

Lol AMD and Intel. I Hope so though, AMD could really use the business.

Hmm... Component (connection/cable) can't do 1080p. That my two cents. For everything else, let's see until E3.

[FireGrey]

50GB Discs?
I love you nintendo.
But then again, DAMN IT'S GONNA BE FOREVER TO PIRATE GAMES!!!

Fake. The CPU is listed as POWER6, which is a super high-end server processor that's only available in servers that cost several thousands of dollars. That, and POWER6 isn't exactly designed for a small form-factor system. It requires a huge cooling unit and generates a ton of noise, even louder than the first-run Xbox 360s.

EDIT: It also lists SD/SDHC support for up to 64 GB cards. While it is technically possible to manufacture a 64 GB SDHC card, the latest SDHC specs prohibit this, requiring >32 GB cards to use the SDXC specification.

Quote from another site I go to.

Specs look semi real, but there are too many errors in the document (SDHC doesn't support 64GB, 1024 missing MB). Plus, this is not exactly a hard thing to make a fake of. While the specs might be similar (and realistically might be) to what is on the pic, I doubt these are real specs.

Sure it can, just won't look that pretty. It's the same type of signal as VGA pretty much.

But the biggest mistake is that SDHC doesn't support 64GB, not even in theory. Anything past 32GB is SDXC, up to 2TB.

Investigation by Neogaf forums has uncovered what appears to be a ‘final specifications’ document for Nintendo’s forthcoming console which is currently dubbed Project Cafe. The information was released at 6:20 PM yesterday. The image below states the specifications.

check neogaf and everywhere else, this is a fake.

do you really believe NINTENDO would give away a 250 GB HDD?

Wait I read somewhere else that Nintendo did not include any hardrive in the console./

 

[Jiggah]

They would need a hard drive if they want 3rd party support.

 

[Zekrom_cool]

It may be fake. I do not about that. But if it is true, has nintendo's past actions made it hard to believe that this can be included?

yea, thats what i meant. Nintendo would 1. never give away a 250 GB HDD and 2.never give an option for two versions (250 and 320). I think we will have something like 8 or 12 GB of Flash.
The other thing is, I don't think Nintendo will include 2 different RAM types, i suppose they will use just one block of MAYBE 2 GB

 

[prowler]

They're not giving away a hard drive if it was true, you're buying it.

And as it is Nintendo we are talking again: 1 GB of main RAM and maybe 32 MB of eDRAM.

We all know about the possibility of this being fake, but some people here are misinformed on certain tech.

Support for Blu-Ray would only make sense if Nintendo was actually serious about being a 'media center' for it's offering. This seems unlikely due to their strategies. The licensing cost associated isn't going to be much benefit to them. And the x360 has shown that dvd-dl disks are fine for your HD GAMING!!!!111!!11! stuff. While yes MS is trying out their new 'media format' of some kind it's mostly an AP strategy, since the disk data increase is only 1GB so not exactly a lot there compared to existing DL of 8GB.
In addition to the whole Blu-ray is owned by Sony (it's not), Why has the 360 shown that? How many discs does FFXIII use on the 360? Most console games don't even do full HD gaming right now though, but the capabilities of blu-ray are a step in the right direction for gaming.

Hmm... Component (connection/cable) can't do 1080p. That my two cents. For everything else, let's see until E3.
Sure it can, just won't look that pretty. It's the same type of signal as VGA pretty much.

You're right that it can but many HDTV's don't support 1080p through component (which is why people don't think it can). It would also look exactly as using HDMI if you use a good quality component cable.

Just to make sure, are you spelling Nintendo in all caps to emphasize it is unlikely to do something like this? First, it's not like it would be free, it would be included in the price just how everyone else has been doing it. Second, why would Nintendo not likely give a large HDD as an option if they're serious about entering the "HD era"?

And to the post above mine, why is it so unlikely for the system (ONE THAT'S USED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES) to not have video RAM...?

Because its Nintendo!
They would never do it, they saw that its unnecessary, I suppose we will get 4-6 or a bit more GB of flash and the option to to use SD Cards.
And Im almost 100% sure, we will not have the option to install our games on the console, so why using HDDs..its cheaper for Nintendo.
Or do you belive that CafeWare titels could use as much MB as they would like? WiiWare was 40 MB and it worked just fine...so maybe for the next gen, 200 MB maybe a bit more.

If its true, that they want to use an LCD in the Controller and things like a cam, I believe that Nintendo will avoid all extra stuff, like big HDDs.

 

[Satangel]

We'll see at E3, I don't bother getting psyched for these rumours, that's just stupid.

 

[Seraph]

Now I'm not sure if you're being serious or not...are people really only making these points "Because it's Nintendo!"?

 

[qlum]

specs look fairly good though 512mb main ram may be a little to small they should have gone for 2gb at least as ram is really cheap even as a consumer you only pay 30 or so euro's for 4gb ram and 16 for only to so I don't think they should have kept it this low considering the price of ram but other than that looks good.
the gpu seems from what I can see here a little weaker than the H6850 but I think it will actually be faster as they will most likely use newer tech than the old barts chip on that cart.
only if it's true witch I don't know. if its true the card can run games with the same graphical capabilities as new pc games (pc's have a lot of overhead due to a lot of different hardware configurations so while it's weaker it may run better things)
