shadowD on 03 February 2010

link the good thing is that this isnt some rumor from some analyst like michael patcher. this rumor comes from a big publisher who says this thing exists but it may or may not be unveiled at gdc.

DS 2 and Wii 2. Or one of those. Etheir way. I think they are going to announce a new platform soon at this year's E3. If not E3 2011 will be more lilkey

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Revealing Wii 2 would be retarded. DS2 makes much more sense.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Highly doubt a Wii2 or a WiiHD since that doesn't make any business sense and N is very business savvy.
Could be the vitality sensor or another DS but didn't the big screen DS just come out?
Hmmm I am leaning towards the vitality sensor but odd the rumor says 'platform'.

Neither a Wii successor nor a DS one makes sense.

Vitality Sensor it is.

My first reaction was DS2, my second was Wii2 (if this is true at all).

Why DS2 - because sales are starting to go down.
Why not DS2 - because they just recently started the DS LL in Japan and haven't even begun selling it anywhere else.
Why Wii2 - because the are starting to run out of major franchises that can seriously push the Wii beyond, say, 2011, and 3rd party support is lessening. Why not Wii2 - because all that said and done, Wii is generally still selling like hotcakes.

Possible scenario - they announce a more expensive Wii2 (with HD and a vitality sensor system) that is completely backwards compatible that will come out around mid-2011. When it comes out, people will have the choice of either buying an (initially) $350 Wii2 or a (then) $150 Wii. Any games you buy for Wii will not be obsolete.

I seriosuly doubt they will

Anyone wanna bet? They're not talking about VS, it's a new DS or something completely different.
