Wii 2 to be Released in 2010

SlappingOysters - 359 days 1 hour ago

I reckon they will, but it will play all the games and use all the peripherals of the current Wii. So better machine, and nothing goes to waste.

Like Motionplus or the GBA

I really don't see it happening that soon. It is selling too well for them to drop another console on the market. I only use mine 5-10 hours a month (thanks to Boom Blox) but my wife uses the Fit quite often and the kids love it so I'd purchase a new version next year if there was one but I don't see it happening. I feel that we'll see a new box from MS before anything from Nintendo or Sony.

If Nintendo jumps 1st into next gen, they have to hit hard.
Microsoft did with the 360, While it proved flawed in may ways it still sells more software than the other consoles 3 years after launch, so it proves they did something right.

Let's hope that the next Nintendo console appeals more to hardcore gamers than the current one while still keeping its appeal to wives, kids and grandmas everywhere.

While at it, provide a 'classic' controller that would feel like the x360 or the dualshock.

That prediction sucks... They listed all the Nintendo consoles and they are all clearly 5 years apart, so going by that the next Nintendo console should be 2011.

Wii is too popular to be killed or have an other machine even w/ backwards compatibility to come out in 2010. Most anticipated Wii game is Monster Hunter 3 in Japan, and that won't come out until after end of 2009 thanks to Capcom wanting to milk the Monster Hunter G remake. Wii sales will pick up when MH3 is released and that gives them even more install base to milk some more shovel-ware well into the year 2010. Wii 2 will probably be announced by the end of 2010 and released in 2011 just like their 5 year apart console releasing history.

Pachter said this anyway, that there will be an announcement for Wii HD in 2009 and be released in 2010. But it will be the same as the normal Wii, just HD capable (somehow)

They haven't even had to drop the price of Wii yet. No doubt that manufacturing costs are down for them now. They are making a huge profit. Releasing a new console would lower their profit. This is hogwash. Besides if there was any real word on a new console IGN and Gamespot would be all over it. Both of them have rumor sections, and they would love to put it in there.

Heh yeah, just a heads up something similar to this is coming out in a really juvenile demographic, Mattel from Mattel Toys Inc is making a toy named MindFlex you control a ball through a small obstacle course.. with your brain and some flashy gadgets.

Please... you never owned either console.. Nobody that acutally owned one would consider both to be garbage. GC had a heavy focus on Hardcore games, if you didnt like it you are a casual gamer who should love the Wii. Oh but wait you hate the Wii as well and it has the same focus as PS2 did.. casuals... Yet neither console made you happy? Clearly just another Sony fan trying to act like a Nintendo fan.

orakga - 358 days 18 hours ago

I assume you are being sarcastic. I've owned both as well, and I tend to agree with the other dude. Neither has really impressed me.

And BOTH were casual systems.
Pikmin has great on the GC though, I'll give it that at least.

"GC had a heavy focus on Hardcore games"
What?? I'll give you a list of the hardcore games that came out.
Super Smash Bros Melee
Resident Evil 4
Eternal Darkness
Metroid Prime Series
LOZ: Wind Waker

and then there are arguable others likes Star Fox..While other games like Pikman and Animal Crossing are still good, they certainly aren't "hardcore". Out of PS2, Xbox and GC, I have the least amount of games for GC, about 25, while I have about 120 for PS2 and 80 for Xbox.

Don't even try to say FZero GX is hardcore, that game is a brick wall, after 8 Races, you have to race against 30 others in a track with all Right Angle turns while the AI cuts the corners to the bare minimum.

@phosphor112

F-zero is considered by many to be one of the hardest racing games on the gamecube. Your dislike of the courses and A.I doesn't change a game into a casual.

remember that.

GC and Wii are garbage. Worst consoles ever! Only a nintendo fanboy in denial would say that they were good. But the Cube was better than the Wii thanks to Windwalker, Tales of Symphonia, Prime 1 and 2, Baten Kaitos it had a couple of good games here and there but nothing to compete against the PS2 or Xbox.

The same this year with the Wii but with even less good games. PS3 and X360 are miles away better.

The N64 was better than both because it had one of the greatest games of all time, Zelda OOT, and a couple of other games like Sins & Punishment, Mario 64, Start Fox 64, Zelda MM, Goldeneye, etc.

-The Snes and Nes were 2 of the best consoles of all time because they had a huge variety of games just like the PS1/PS2. There were a lot of RPG and other genres, not like with the CG and Wii that only has Mario kart, Mario jets-ki, Mario Baseball, Mario Bakestball, Mario Olimpics, Mario Swimming, Mario Volleyball, Mario Party...

I don't think Nintendo could offer that variety of game anymore, they changed a lot. This is a completely new company that has the same name.

You obviously never played either game.. I play GHWT every day and play online with my created character. What you are talking about is one mode in GHWT that lets you use your Wii.. Sadly it doesnt matter though. You'll keep on spouting the same BS like you actually have a point..

sony and ms don't give a rats about their loyal customers. they are at war here, and all 3 companies fall down when it comes to their customers or potential customers. it's all marketing BS. MS release the latest update to coincide with everybody's launch console going out of warranty, for a problem they new existed before launch, and does anybody remember the PS3 initial specs before the console was released, now theres a super computer, and their bully tactics to get another sony format into homes.

you will all get sucked in next time just the same as this time if (& only if) they come up with another game changing gimmick, not just HD. not many people thought they would get a wii after the GCs limited games releases, i said i wouldn't, and now i too have another dusty nintendo console under my tv. just a shame they still havent learned their lessons from the n64 and lack of games choice. you can't solve that problem with shovelware
