Soriku recently asked me some questions about the 8th generation and a few other things.
To put it down for the record for posterity's sake I felt it would be nice to have this discussion made public. I asked Soriku's permission of course. Let me know what you think.
Original title from Soriku:
'I want to see your prediction on future Wii third-party support and Wii 2 third-party support'
And where do you think Kingdom Hearts III will go?
In public , in private or both? I'll do both.
Quite honestly I have no idea what Nintendo has in plan after Wii. Their 8th generation console may be so different than the consoles we have now it might be near impossible to predict. Wii will last for over 5 years. The 8th gen might be delayed by a few years afterwards. That Nintendo GO thing from a little while back, fan video or not, is the only thing I can see at this point. I know one day that Nintendo will make the first functional virtual reality system. I feel the return of the Virtual Boy (in soul anyway) is a future Nintendo product.
Wii One is already passed the PS2 so Wii Two will be nothing like that at all. My biggest concern is how will Nintendo persuade people to leave the Wii for another console. This Wii will be absolutely beloved and with this new audience I wonder how they can move forward. They'll do it I know but I'm not just sure how yet.
Compare Wii 2's support to SNES from NES. This also depends on any competitors in the field which strangely I see none. I don't think MS will stay in this game business long term. I KNOW Sony is leaving. This PS3 thing will wreck them. Somebody new from left field may come into this. Maybe from Europe or somewhere. Who knows? But Wii 2's support like every generation initially builds on the support of the last. Wii will have the lion's share of dev support this gen so Wii 2 will already have a headstart.
As for Kingdom Hearts III?
Wii.
It's only natural.
