Lol just when i bought the original Wii.

Lol me too. I really hope these damn Wii HD/Wii 2 rumors are fake. I don't want the Wii I just got to go out of date too soon.

They are obviously developing new games.

UPDATE:

UPDATE:

Michael Troughton a former technical director at Midway (now at Ubisoft Reflections) has had his say on this ‘Wii2′ reference and has been nice enough to shed some light on it for us. He writes below;

“I was working with Darren on both ‘undisclosed’ projects before our studio was closed last July. One of them was announced – Necessary Force – but the Wii 2 reference is for a very short-lived prototype we put together in an attempt to secure a contract to save the studio. We never worked on Wii 2, and had no details on any future consoles from Nintendo, however the intention was to support that platform if it ever came to fruition in a suitable time-scale for the project.”

Thanks for this very intereresting insight Michael. I guess that clears things up. It’s reference to pre-development in anticipation of a Wii2 console.

Sooooo....

"Thanks for this very intereresting insight Michael. I guess that clears things up. It’s reference to pre-development in anticipation of a Wii2 console."

I'm going to say that was one of their problems. Instead of developing on a console that cost less money, they were holding out any profits from it in anticipation of a console that would cost as much as the other systems.

What kind of business considers the pricier option to be preferable unless they really are out of touch with the mainstream?

Even movies would cost less if the more expensive films weren't the blockbusters.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

And not only for a console that would be as expensive but for a console that only *might* exist at some point in the future, and taking presumptions that that console will conform to the others.

 

Who gets paid to make these kind of decisions? No wonder midway tanked...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

@OP Do you honestly think someone from a third party would know what Nintendo has coming?

Ubi was the first to know about Wii and they found out in late winter 2006 and pushed out Red Steele. Suda found out around the same time and made No More Heroes which was published by Ubi.

He's talking out of his ass, it's not even speculation.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

I don't get why they called it wii 2. What's wrong with super wii. Sounds more nintendoish



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Midway went bankrupt maybe just the American branch since this news comes from the European branch. But I doubt that this indicates in any way shape or form that a second Wii is on its way. Actually they could be developing a game with the intent of launching it in two years so they are developing the game to be ported to the Wii2.

Keep in mind developers started work on 360 games a year before the 360 came out. So its possible that Midway is developing a game that they plan to make availible on the next Wii. Maybe their guessing at the specs and developing a title based on those exstimates.
