Guys, a new design with HD graphics it's not a new model but a new console.

I do not want Excitebots or Captain Rainbow.

I want games like Zelda, Dragon Quest X, Xenoblade or The Last Story.

They better praise that 3rd party games have a good start on 3DS so this way they can keep 3rd party support on Wii2.

All the Wii needs is a new design (Wii Slim or something similar) with an additional quality (something stupid to make people buy the console again). This must be done with a price cut, lowering the price to 150$ and new colours.

Finally, we have the 25th Legend of Zelda anniversary, so I am expecting them to do some special packs next holiday season.

Well said there  

Also, how cool would it be to get Majora's Mask, the original 3, ALttP and WW with all the missing dungeons on a single disk? We live in hope...

What 3? Am I missing something ;O

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Maybe 4 swords as well?

Software, software, software

 

Sony, MS and Apple have no effect on Nintendo, what has an effect is software, or lack thereof, right now there is little compelling software on the Wii, look at the sales charts, used to be Wii was dominant, now only Wii Sports is in the top 10, its the reason Wii has declined, Not Kinect or Move or anything that Sony and MS have done, Wii needs software



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

I couldn't agree more. A new concole will come out went Nintendo wants it to, but its software that really matters on a video game concole. the problem for everyone here is that we don't know what nintendo has planned in the works and next years E3 could be like last years with a ton of games from both Nintendo and third parties beening announced and then released soon after ready for the holiday season.

^^^^ id really wish they would stop that crap with Wii. THere are 9 other months to release games in why do they focus on the holidays, spread that crap out.

You ain't the only one...

There's still the games there, but they're all likely in October-December, many probably delayed to January-March time. I'd rather have a good game a month than one every week frm October onwards, and very few during the year (seriously, Galaxy 2, S&P, Tri...what else) like last year

He is obviously refering to the CD-i Zelda games, the original trilogy.

Lol, yes that thought came across my mind for a moment. I hope he wasn't...

He is trying to become a writer for VGC, so I am pretty sure he was. Getting obvious things wrong and causing controversy raises the chances to write for VGC considerably. At least that's how I think it works.

Good one lol. True words.

@conegamer they need to take a page out of Sony's book and spread it out, at least the other two have the luxury of great 3rd party support. Ninty needs to spread it out to at least give it the illusion of a decent year. I dont care how good Zelda turns out or if Xenoblade gets released the same month. that means that it will be a good month for Wii, not for the whole damn year

Yes, no 3rd party support will do that.
