Forums - Nintendo - I think Nintendo will show more about Motion Plus games than another system

I hope NIntendo puts this whole thing to rest for a while by announcing several new Wii games during their investor meeting on April 26th...

It wouldn't be the first time this has happened this year - Rhythm Tengoku, Kirby, Pokemon and Pandora's Tower were all stealth announced in their last meeting...



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

And NSMBWii was first announced at E3 '09, and Donkey Kong Country Returns at last year's E3.



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

@lordtheknight  i hope your right, i really do. I was hyped for motion , "finally, the thing would work the way it was meant too!" i thought and it did. Red Steel 2 and Sports Resort proved it. But that was really it, havent touched the thing since RS2 last year. Its not even plugged into my remote. Im not optimistic though.

@kilter i hope your wrong

well, how long may i ask do you think it will be before nintendo releases their next hardware?

to me, this year is not completely how of the question.  although more likely i think it will be basically on the 3DS's one year anniversy.  there are a lot of rumors out there and for the most part you have to be pretty skeptical.  but one of threads (and i can't remember which one) had a quote that was very interesting to me.  something along the lines of ...

"nintendo is working really hard to gather 3rd party support by putting the hardware in front of them already.  and when tell people you get leaks".

match that with the "where there's smoke there's fire" quote via miyamoto and i really think nintendo is getting close to releasing their hardware.  close meaning like around a year from now.   zelda released both the wii/wii2 doesn't sound so ridiculous anymore.


Miyamoto's comment only means their next system is actually being made instead of just researched. It doesn't mean the system is about to come out. Again, they have to announce it, and then take time to build up hype and marketing. Even the 3DS anniversary is too soon for that.

So you are assuming Nintendo is going to let the Wii drift based on unreasonable assumptions of when the next system will come out.


we're both making assumptions.  but the way i read the quote seemed to imply that there is a hint a truth to the rumors which in turn means some developers have seen it.  if there are any dev kits in the wild the new hardware isn't that far off.

No! Wii is dying! Let the suffering end! Loud noises!



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Miyamoto also said don't believe everything you read on the internet. So the dev kits in the hands of developers falls more under than than anything confirmed.

Plus my assumption is based on the fact that coasting on the Wii would lost customers and revenue, due to lack of output to keep interest up. I know this because it happens with any system that has a major game gap, including when it has happened to the Wii. If they are making another system soon, the R&D costs makes it more reasonable to have the Wii momentum kept up.

This is what I have been expecting, but I was expecting it at E3 2010 too.

 

Recent comments from Nintendo, specifically Miyamoto, have me a little confused though.

 

The main thing that makes it so hard to accept, is how much potential there is left within the Wii.  Theres just so much room there still, and everyone already owns a Wii...  Maybe Ninty just had too easy of a ride this gen and put everything inspired on the back burner to cook until this new console is ready to go.

 

 At this point I'm not sure what to expect at E3, but I bet it's going to be a good one.

The Wii is winding down. Nintendo will probably release some games to finish it with a bang like SS (of course) that Kirby game, some localisations (maybe even that Pandora IP if we're lucky) and such. By finish I don't mean discontinue since I think they will be pumping out Wiis for a few years more like SOny did with PS2.

But I have no doubts that the Wii will be succeeded next year.

I am even the slightest convinced that Japan could see the new console launched later this year of early next year. But only slightly.

Or they got off track and had to get back on a couple times. Waiting years for the good ideas on the next system would be very stupid.
