Wii 2 (almost) confirmed.

[awssk8er]

Didn't a 3rd party dev let slip that their game was going to be able to link up with an "as yet unnanounced" Nintendo console?

Yup. Capcom, with SSFIV 3D

I thought that was about the 3DS a while ago...

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

Well, they are kind of saying it will release in 2012, but you're right. This could be false, but multiple sources confirm it, which is weird.

That's the thing. They told us about the 3DS in April/May 2010, the console didn't hit shelves until 2011. It seems reasonable that they could announce it now/at E3, and release it in a year's time. They did it with the 3DS, with DSi XL only just released (in Australia anyway). Mind you that was only a minor change as compared to an entire console rehash.
Also, found a rather entertaining video containing speculation on the next console (which, until its name is publicized, shall be referred to as the Nintendo P-NES {Watch the video!})

IGN Editors talking about the rumors http://wii.ign.com/articles/116/1161987p1.html

Seems to me they would like the new Nintendo console to be just a more powerful ps3/xb360. Nintendo first party games are what makes it Nintendo. PS4/720 are coming some day, so why would Nintendo make just a another one and lose on technology as those will come later?

Wii is a success that left Sony and Microsoft far behind. Still Wii is selling more than xbox360 and not so far behind PS3. It works to be different no matter what console FPS playing "I am hardcore because I play games with guns and blood" people think. Nintendo delivers something a PC can't. Hoping they will have something good new thinking again.

If this true, then it will be the 8th Generation of Console

Sony and Microsoft also aware of that

I guess it will be called "MiiWii"

I think it would look something like this:

 

[Satangel]

Still very wary of these rumours, it would really surprise me if they announced this at this E3 already.
Maybe next E3, but I really doubt they will do it this E3.

 

[Zorua]

I think it would look something like this:

Hell no. Thats the worst mockup I've seen.

 

[MeritsAlone]

I think it would look something like this:

IF it looks like that i will tear my eyes out, that looks extremely uncomfortable.

If there will be a Wii 2, i maybe wont buy it, Skyward Sword is gonna release for Wii as well. If they were to all of sudden announce this then i dont think there would be a any breathing room between those two.

 

[machomuu]

I think it would look something like this:

If they did that, I would seriously give up on Nintendo.
Well, that is, unless they make a Nintendo exclusive Trigger (as in Chrono) sequel.

 

[ninditsu]

why is it wii 2 or wii hd? like any other nintendo console, if it is a successor to a previous console it will have "Super" in the title. (NES->SNES, only example)

Wii -> SWii

PS1 already got the sequel

No, I meant a direct sequel. Chrono Cross was great, but I would have likes to see more characters, places, and references to Chrono Trigger.

Don't think the controllers will have a 6-inch screen on it something is not right here

 

[mysticwaterfall]

While I don't doubt there will be a new Wii holiday 2012, I don't think it will be announced at E3. That said, the more I read of these stupid rumors, the more I think they are bogus in the specifics. For instance, so far the controller has a 6" video touchscreen that you can stream live video/games, dual analog sticks, and motion controls. Do you have any idea how much such a controller would cost with all of that? The Wii controllers are already 50$, it would easily be 100. Plus, to get a 6" touch screen, the controller would have to be huge. It just boggles the mind.

EDIT: Meant to say, $100+

The duck raises a valid point.

 

[ManFranceGermany]

If they announce it at E3 2011, it would be hilarious and the worse marketing strategy ever, to sell it almost 1 1/2 years later for xmas 2012.

Anyways, Im pretty sure that Nintendo needs a new console. The Wii is almost dead in Japan and third party support (world wide) is ridiculous. 01net also released the specs of the ngp and xbox 360 before others. well..I hope for Nintendo they have some good ideas beside a touch screen on the controller...and dare you, if you release zelda just for the new one!!!!!

 

[hksrb25s14]

NO the Wii is a 10 year system!!!

just like the PS2

MUAHAHA

 

[SinHarvest24]

New news have emerged and nintendo confirms that they're working on a nex-gen console and gave us a hint on the controller. It will be basically a ps3 controller with a 6 inch screen and a built in camera. Anyone say big?

Edit: maybe an improvised gamecube controller?

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Thanks Nintendo, now I KNOW I'm not buying a console from you. I'll still buy your handhelds.
