Name is not official obviously :P but there's plenty of rumours AND it all started from a reliable source (the ones who leaked NGP half year before launch with precise info). The controller has a 6inch tocuh screen HD monitor on it :o meant to be more powerfull than the 360 and ps3, has bluray built in and released late 2012. Also it's going to be shown at this years E3 Sources, also just google and youl find many sites wiht info >>In general for gaming http://www.computerandvideogames.com/ >>> Better motion sensing than Move >>> HD screen controller >>> hardware spec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon 55 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 Honestly, I can see 2 things killing the Wii2 in the early game: Price (It will have to be at LEAST $300-$400 starting) How late in the game it is coming out. About 75% of families who own a wii, also own a PS3 or 360. With that already set, Nintendo has an uphill battle to fight there alone. The next hurdle they face, if they are able to get it sold to a good amount of the populous, is game choices. Most major publishers avoid the Nintendo because of capabilities (which if this wii2 does beat the ps3/360, they may head that way) and because of the system being 'family oriented'. I have a hard time believing Nintendo would allow such games as L.A. Noire and Dead Space 2. Granted, I could be wrong in my speculation, but 2 good points I look at as a ps3 owner: 1. Is it worth buying (another) wii just because of blu-ray and maybe 10 total exclusive games? 2. Can they hold true enough to bring in new, exciting exclusives?

Can they hold true enough to bring in new, exciting exclusives? good points, but they're meant to be aiming towards the more hardcore market once again and everyone casual knows the Wii and Nintendo so they wont be too afraid to look into purchasing a Wii 2. Its got new features like the HD screen (if obviosuly has one lol), motion sensor so simialr to wii remote maybe and it's not meant to be just an advance/ devloped Wii remote either tbh, it's about time Nintendo got up to date, the Wii ahs had it almost. I see the bluray as just an addon, Ps3 has already got one (ive got ps3 too yay :) ) but again, its just moving on with the times, especially if its going to be relased 2 years before sony and microsofts next-gen console Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 Like I said, it is late in the game to be updating their system. The way it sits, this updated wii will come out 2-3 years before Sony or Microsoft's next-gen... but when sony/microsoft DO release theirs, it will likely make the Wii2 a relic, and Nintendo would be forced to release ANOTHER system to keep with the times. This happens, and the people would have had to buy 3 different Nintendo systems as opposed to Sony or Microsoft's 2. (not including slim models.) Financially speaking, from both sides of the argument, Nintendo is fighting a very steep uphill battle. Now, don't get me wrong, I was born a Nintendo fanboy, and I hope they get it back on track.. but right now, between the XL, 3DS (yes, great 3D, but that's IT), Wii2, and poor game selection... I've lost hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
