Forums - Nintendo - wii 2 confirmed

Demotruk on 25 April 2011

One more thing:

Fuck Nintendo. They have given up on the revolution in favour of having industry support, which they will never really have anyway. At best they will be hurt badly for one or two gens and maybe will come back one day.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Damn. If the Wii drought has been bad up until now, just imagine what it's going to be like until the release of this console...

Reading your post, I just remembered DQX - wtf happened to that thing? rofl

They should make it a Wii2 launch title!

Nintendo has confirmed the wii2 and set it's date for 2012, but no other rumors about the controllers or the specs have been confermed yet.

Some info:

-Tentative release date of June 2012.
-Controller screen resolution of 800x500.
-Can play games, watch movies, and more without turning on the TV by just streaming them to the controllers. Can stream to multiple controllers at once.
-Each controller acts a terminal, with the console doing all of the calculations to reduce latency, controller cost, and bandwidth requirements.

Isn't that what Onlive is ment to do but on a smaller scale (home vs country/planet)?

And the resolution of the controllers' screen is not a TV resolution : 16:9 = 1.77 / 800:500 = 1.6 so is 16:10...

I'm holding judgement unitl E3, but if this is true Wii2 needs to be way more powerful than 360/PS3 (Mario Kart with 4 players using  not the TV but the controllers' screens means a resolution equivalent of 3200x2000, and MK needs to run at 60fps)



Please excuse my bad English.

Nintendo Co. Ltd. has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii, which the company has sold 86.01 million units on a consolidated shipment basis between its launch in 2006 and the end of March 2011.

We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011 in Los Angeles.

Sales of the new system have not been included in the financial forecasts announced today for the fiscal term ending March 2012.

Its confirmed.

2012 = NES 6.


So we can guess 2017 = N7, 2022 = N8  and so on.

Actually the equivalent resolution would be 1600 by 1000 which would be more than good enough to display on a TV with a native resolution of 1920 by 1080. So that resolution if true would actually be a good compromise and for simplicities sake they could easily render all games at that resolution and scale them for TVs.

800 plus 800 on the width and 500 plus 500 on the height. Remember they add together, they do not multiply!

@Nintendogamer, I would assume they intend to release the NES 7 in 2017 at this point but I have no idea about the NES 8!



Tease.
