Wii 2 will not be Dreamcast, it’ll be “the PlayStation 2 of next gen”

“With so many stories online coming out in the last several days regarding Wii 2, Project Cafe, Wii ii, Wii HD, or whatever most people are comfortable with, it’s definitely making for an exciting build up to E3. (Nintendo’s new machine is powerful and though I (3rd party) hate to bash, it won’t be a Dreamcast. This will be the PS2 of its generation.)"

If you are the PS2 of any generation then you're probably going to be #1 (if that's to be taken literally and all). If it is actually the way the author suggested then having a system powerful enough that its a next gen platform not just to Wii but to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 as well would be nice.

DolfZigglers4783d ago

A lot of gamers don't like to admit it but the Wii was a like the PS2 of this generation. The weakest, the best selling, the most amount of software, the best selling software..but I guess that's where the similarities end.

Exclusivity wise, third party support wise, etc are things that separate the two. Hmm if any system can both duplicate PS2's wild sales success and be the most powerful of the 3 that are out in a current gen and have something different about it it would be the ultimate system. PS2 + Wii + Most Powerful = Best console yet to exist. Satisfy the hardcore and the newbs all around.

Last I check Sony didn't drop support for the PS2, so how is it like the Wii?

Yeah I don't think Wii 2 is going to be that good in less Nintendo learns to have their games support all controllers and not just motion.

Seijoru4783d ago

PS2 had waaaaaaay better software.

Nathaniel_Drake4783d ago

That can't be right, Wii don't do 3rd party

Neko_Mega4783d ago

lol I like how all the Miiboys think the Wii 2 is going to be like PS2.

There is some things they seem to miss about Nintendo, mainly the fact Nintendo isn't well know for having a high tech system with specs that top others.

The Wii games look like PS2 games (Ones that were done right), so how does anyone believe the Wii 2 will be that powerful?

Plus quit getting your hopes up people, Nintendo hasn't said a thing about a system and they are working more on getting 3DS sold.

I hope that no system is another Dreamcast only in regards to its last factor of course because otherwise it was a wonderful console. Can't wait til E3!

E3exponews4783d ago

Dreamcast did some things very well including the modem, the starting price, the great 2D sprite handling ability, and was a great fighting console. It's just too bad that before it could even come out Sony announced that PS2 is coming a year later. We'll see at E3 just how accurate everything on the net has been but at least it's been fun thus far!

Kon4783d ago

No,the PS2 of next gen will be the PS4

Theyellowflash304783d ago

The PS3 wasn't even the PS2 of this gen so how do we know the PS4 will be the PS2 of next gen? Considering there isn't even any solid evidence of what the PS4 is, features, price, nothing......

chasegarcia4783d ago

oh too damn bad. I want another Dreamcast!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5099d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5099d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5099d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495099d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5099d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5099d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
