Wii 2 (almost) confirmed.

[grubbymitts]

a new console at E3? cool. Hope it's better than the wii and 3ds.

1) The 3DS just came out.
2) This is a console not portable.

Taking what he said a little bit too heavy but still... It's a no brainer that their new home console would be "better" than their handheld and home console predecessor.

Did it sound like that was in anger? My bad. :/

No, I was basely trying to state what you post.

yeah i call this bullshit nintendo proved a console that's not powerful can succeed so i seriously doubt they'll go back to what they used to do with the 64 and cube.

Production cost of 5 year old "high end "components have dropped also.
If they manage to produce a console with about the specs of a ps3, it will probably cost the same as the production of the Wii 5 years ago.
So it's VERY likely the next nintendo console will be up to date or even a step further than current standards.
If you look at nintendo's history, the Wii was the only console with mediocre specs for it lifespan.

I think they will just confirm it on the E3 so I'm not expecting any prototypes or Quality pictures of the graphics the Wii 2 will have and in 2012 they wil show it like the 3DS and release it somewhere in 2013 or late 2012. That's what I'm expecting

 

[CyborGamer]

If they do announce it this year just to release it in the next year, I expect confirmed backwards compatibility with the Wii. Otherwise they might as well just say "stop buying stuff for your wii".

I reckon it'll be named SWiiT like DiscostewSM said or Wii Digital aka WiiD.

I agree with this statement, they announced the Wii long before it was released without much information.

Have to disagree. Seems unlikely/unwise to release at the end of 2012. The drought in games right now seems to indicate they will/need to release new hardware sooner,

Um I believe that the lack of games does not come from hitting a wall in the hardware but the current recession. If you do not believe that the recession is not effecting the software business, look at all the companies that have either been bought out or have right down closed up shop.

Oh? And there's the same lack of software with the other 2 systems? I honestly can't think of any other game besides Skyward Sword that will be a major release. Maybe they have things to localize, but I find it strange that hardly anything has been announced to be in the works for the Wii. Sure, there are many factors that contribute to this Wii game drought but this is just speculation. It's also just speculation of when the next Nintendo console will be released. But in my opinion, Nintendo will/needs to release a new console. It seems that it could go either way on the release date of the console though.

Why are people so surprised. It'd have been this year or next year at the latest Nintendo announcing their next console. The wii doesn't have a ten year plan unlike X-box360/ps3. This is the right time, nintendo won't just slap on HD and call it wii2, I'm sure it's gonna have one or two unique features and maybe a lot more.

 

[AlanJohn]

Furthermore, we've heard that the machine will be more powerful than current-gen systems, meaning Nintendo, currently backing a Wii that is weaker in horsepower than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, will be showing a new console that is more powerful than those current competitors.

YES YES YES YES!!!!

YES YES YES YES!!!!


Being more powerful than a 5/6 years old console is enough reason for YES YES YES YES!!!!?

xD

I don't understand either, the recently lack of decent titles on wii clearly showed it was almost dead too.

Really. It'd be pretty sad if it wasn't.

Of course.
Most of dumb n00bs make fun of the Wii because of its 'lame' graphics.
But now when Nintendo is going to make a console thats going to make the ps3/360 look 'lame', its a good reason for us Ninty fanboys to say YES YES YES YES!!!

Be more powerful than last gen consoles is kind of mandatory imo. Even the wii is more powerful than its previous gen iterations (don't know for sure about the xbox, but maybe they are similar in power).

They meant that the Wii 2 will be more powerful than the xbox 360 and Playsation 3
Not the old Playstation 2 or xbox.
*facepalm*

It doesn't matter much because probably the Xbox 720 and PS4 are on their way. Wii 2 hardware will be outdated once again then.

I clearly understood that. I just said, even the wii being the less powerful console of this generation was more powerfull than any console of sixty generation.

AS wii 2 is expected to be more powerful than any console of seventh generation.

You should interpret better the posts before jumping to conclusions

That was exactly my point

. Being more powerful than 5/6 years old consoles doesn't mean so much.
