Yeah, I know it's a bit early to be talking about it, but what do other users on this forum think that the successor of the Wii will have? We know it'll be an HD console and all, but what new stuff could it possibly do? Could Nintendo beef up the specs on this console to match or slightly surpass the PS3/X360 (knowing that Sony and Microsoft will have new and better consoles by then) in terms of graphical capabilities? They can still use the original Wiimote and all, but do people think their will be other add-ons for it? I think it would be cool if they were able to remake a power-glove for the console so it could use it for some games (games that require dexterity).

What are your thoughts? Or is this just wishful thinking that we have to wait on?

this doesn't limit to Wii 2. I actually would like to see it on PS4

but some kind of hand gesture thing, you wear a glove, with force feeback, and you are able to play games through that.

For anyone who watched "Minority Report", kinda like that, but more range of motion.

like this

where the hell did my text go 0_o

what i said was
is just like you already
it's way too early too talk about this
just enjoy the games now, talk about sales
but these things are just one or two years too far from speculations..

i guess the wiimote and nunchuck stay but the power and graphics of nintendos next console will be better than ps3 imo

I think this was already discussed a lot, like in here: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=18677

But if you are referring to only HD support... I see the current Wii getting it some time soon.

OK I have some thoughts about this:

1) It will be a lot stronger than PS3 and 360 and possibly come close to PS4/next Xbox. Reason: Nintendo always had a technically very competative console and they have enough money for good R&D on this one. Don't forget they had to make Wii this weak because then they could afford another GC like disaster.

2) It will be called Wii-HD. Wii has become a very valuable brand and the HD part makes it very clear what it is. Kinda like with the NES-SNES. It will take 4 more years for HD to be totally accepted and then Wii-HD will benefit from it.

3) It will come with WiiSportsHD. Why sell the best system seller ever as a seperate game and inflate the brand. They'll not produce a new WiiSports game until Nintendo's next console.

 1), They made N64 very "competitive graphically" and it failed, they made GC very "competitive graphically" and it failed. They completely went 180 and made Wii "graphically weak" and it is a HUGE hit. What makes you think they'd go back and make another one that is competitive graphically? It makes no business sense to them.

 2), calling it Wii-HD in 2012 (which is likely time for it to come out), would be no different than calling xbox at this point Xbox-DVD, by that time, HD is no longer the 'next big thing' out there.

in fact, HD is already 'accepted', as stores have finally sold more HD tv than SD ones. (as of last quarter)

3) it's possible they'd include another Wiisport-esque game in the mix. But I'm hoping for more varity and more content. 

the flaw in your logic is that the 64 and GC did not fail because they were competitive graphically.

people dont just say, sweet, the graphics are bad, let's buy it! The wii is a success because of its motion sensing  and its cheaper price, not because it has weak graphics.

so it makes perfect business sense to make the next one graphically good. 

^^ graphical power might not be the MAIN reason why N64 and GC failed, but the fact is, they failed. and Wii won, big time.

I see Nintendo focusing on what is working and change almost nothing.

Higher graphical power will force Nintendo to increase WII2's price and I just don't see that happening at all.

I see Nintendo making a barely HD console next time, probably 720P and close to 360's graphical power.
