Wii 2 (almost) confirmed.

[Leo Cantus]

It would be nice if it's true, although it may not be likely as they just released the 3DS and a new Wii could divert a lot of the attention away from it.

 

[xDarkAngelx]

3DS has just been released, Nintendo would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did this. Not likely at all.

^ This. It would take away too much attention from the 3DS if this was true, and they'd lose a crapload of money.

Just remember: this is a rumor that is supposedly been confirmed from other sources.

If it's confirmed it's no longer a rumor, if it's a rumor it hasn't been confirmed yet.

I'd be surprised, Nintendo doesn't usually go first in a console generation.

IIRC the Wii was the first 7th gen?

360 came out a year before both wii and ps3
and ps3 came out a week before the wii came out

It falls in line with how they usually release their new systems. and considering the Wii is at the end of its lifespan, I say its about time they made a new console anyway.

The Wii is rumored to have a price drop in May to $149.99 and if that's true, the Wii 2 announcement makes logical sense.

 

[Erdnaxela]

Will zelda be the last nintendo game for the Wii, just like the Gamecube?
That would be funny >.

 

[Ghostyis40]

Perfect, I expected as much, this is the perfect time for Big N to showcase the Next Gen System Wii2 it will further give them a further lead in the console wars. I excited to see whats in stored for Nintendo next gen system that's been in the works for several years now.

 

[elscorcho0]

I will be at E3 so I hope this is true. It's about time they released a HD console.

 

[ShadowFyre]

Well at least with the new console people will stop ragin' about the graphics >_>

 

[shakirmoledina]

nintendo which is an innovative company JUST releases wii in HD? i really doubt the power of the wii. True it will be powerful but in what sense?
I expect it to have technology not seen today. Again, till we meet again at E3.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

At least till the PS4 and the Xbox 720 comes out anyway.

 

[KingVamp]

ps3-like Wii , isn't that enough for graphics? Man...

Wouldn't that jack up the wii 2 game prices?

Anyway for the most point it doesn't matter if the wii was 2X ps3.

Sony will wait or make some guess to make it 2X more than that and people will
start ragin' about the graphics again. :/

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

This sounds pretty much exactly like I predicted in the last topic. Does that mean we'll get the Golden Sun Dark Dawn sequel revealed if I predict that too?

 

[Y05h1]

As long as we get HD output, I'm good. Anyone tried playing SSBB at 1080p using Dolphin? Because it looks fantastic.

So forget about graphics, what I want is some cool controller! Something more traditional perhaps. Or some better compromise between motion controls and traditional controls.

What's unfortunate is that it probably won't have GC controller ports. Which might just be my favourite controllers to date...

 

[Motastic]

I.Told.You.So.

jk lol. Anyway, this is really exciting, and if it is true, (which it seems like it), the Wii2 will be amazing.

 

[Ikki]

Now this is interesting

 

[DiscostewSM]

I'm going for the Super Wii Turbo, because that would be SWiiT.

Anyways, even if information was released at this year's E3, it would still be at least a year before the actual release.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Not really. I doubt the people managing E3 know anything beforehand about the announcements made at E3.

They may just be saying this to garner more publicity.

My thoughts exactly. I've had my wii since launch, and I'm still not warmed up to the controller...

 

[Nebz]

I still don't know about the "Wii 2" surpassing the PS3 and Xbox 360... But if they have hardware that can at least compete gaming (w/more publishers) or graphics wise well... I'm in for it.

I can see an announcement happening at this year's E3 but I wouldn't expect a release until Fall or Winter 2012 to sometime in early 2013 if this is true.

EDIT:

...what I want is some cool controller! Something more traditional perhaps. Or some better compromise between motion controls and traditional controls.

This too lol
