Rumor Killers: Wii 2 in 2010, New Grand Theft Auto Teased, Batman: Arkham Asylum Sequel

Jen Allen takes a look into the future... of gaming...

[shoinan]

No way. Later for sure, they're still selling plenty.

[NaiNaiNai]

Screw wii 2, call it the Revolution for real this time. And for gods sake give it HD.

[sikbeta]

In order to be called Revolution, IT must be a Revolution indeed

[NaiNaiNai]

Nintendo getting a HD system would be a revolution XP

[SlamVanderhuge]

Even though I just finished it 2 months ago, I'm so ready for the next Batman

[NaiNaiNai]

Hey as long as the game comes out on the ps3. Fans will not say its too soon.

[mr durand pierre]

I want it now as well. But where will it take place?

[ryano23277]

I would really like the 2nd Bats game to stay in that same style of game in terms of open world game play.

Take it to Gotham City, with a city about the size of the cities portrayed in Godfather 2 and also incorporating Arkham as well.

Batmobile & Batwing

Should do a piece on Natal, I'd love to know a release date.

Also if Wii 2 is coming out why is Iwata saying that they need to come out with more compelling content for it in 2010 and 2011?

Just off of that statement you'd think Wii 2 would be coming out anytime after 2011.

[JD_Shadow]

I think they forgot to ask something about the GTA rumor: which system(s). It's also been suggested that Rockstar could make it PS3 exclusive, too (wouldn't make sense since what started it was in a 360 exclusive title, unless Rockstar has plans to release the episodes on the PS3 in that manner at some point with the same avert, too).

[McLuvn]

for Wii 2 HD with BC. Skipped this gen for obvious reasons.

[DaTruth]

Wii 2 HD wouldn't even make sense! Regardless of system specs, Nintendo has always been known for underpowered games! Nintendo 64bit against PS1 32bit and the PS1 obliterated it graphically! Going all the way back to NES vs. Sega Master System, graphically, SMS far outperformed NES. R-type and Rastan made NES games look like 2600 games!

All their games will be 3D dot-esque. Hi-def, but not really hi-def!

[ReviewsArePolitics]

If Nintendo wants to keep disrupting the market, they also have to disrupt themselves, otherwise they won't keep the lead. If they wait too long someone else could disrupt them and it might be too late. Their savior then will be their huge piles of cash.

Hell, by 2010 it would have been 5 years after 360s launch, too long to wait by Microsoft's standards. They should just pull a Wii and bundle Natal with a repackaged and redesigned overclocked 360 with a little bit more RAM. If it's reliable, it just might be successful...

[NecrumSlavery]

As much as I love Arkham, I think Rocksteady should make new darker DC games. I don't know how a sequel would work, but I thought vioshock couldn't do a part2 so they have my support.

Wii HD is PS3. They need to do software, and lay off hardware.

New GTA? RedDeadRedmp, MaxP3, Agent, LAnoire, etc are in the works too. How big is ROck*?

[mastiffchild]

Plenty big enough now the episodes are done fella. They aren't evenmaking all those games either-for example they're publishing LA Niore while Team Bondi are making it.

In the Uk alone I think there's three R* studios at London , Leeds and Edinburgh so, and I'm not sure about this, I'd think there's a fair few dotted about the US and the rest of the world somewhere-they're pretty big devs you know!

[Shnazzyone]

Maybe Sony is going to abandon support for ps3 and just merge with fellow japanese comapny Nintendo. Hey.. it could happen.

[sikbeta]

I read somewhere that before the beginning of this gen N and Sony want to merge, but not happened because It could be more like of an absorption of N and Sony resulting the major winer owning all the N IPs

[Fade_Walker]

Wii 2 in 2010-I don’t care

New GTA-If the driving is the same as GTA IV you can count me out, if I wanted to go drive a car on ice I can just go outside and drive.

Batman 2-Yes please, but not the asylum again!

[Feral Gamer]

I can't wait for another Batman game! Rocksteady has earned my respect for sure!

I'd love a HD Wii.

I'm not excited about another GTA, though. Sure I'll buy it, but the novelty is wearing thing.

[midi]

Surely a Wii HD with some decent storage is an inevitability?

[McDaygo]

Damn that game was a treat. If the took it to Gotham that would make for a great sequel. They need to make more comic hero games of that caliber, or rather games period of that caliber.

[gidzilla]

I really think Nintendo choulsd worry about making some good games not adding functionality to their gimmick box
