The Wii's successor will probably feature HD support, and maybe even 3D support if it can be done in a cost-effective way. But that won't be all. After the success of the DS and Wii following the failures of the Gamecube and N64, Nintendo doesn't dare bring out a new system which doesn't bring something genuinely new to gaming, and pretty pictures -even 3D ones- don't qualify.

So what will? I don't know. Before the announcement of the Revolution (as it was known at the time), who would have predicted that Nintendo's next console would feature motion controls? I certainly couldn't have. Likewise with the DS: before its introduction, who would have predicted a portable with two screens and touch-based control? It is the same with whatever comes after the Wii: whatever it is, I doubt anyone will have guessed.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
