Forums - Nintendo - What's next: Wii 2 or Wii HD?

What will nintendo do? Release a brand new system (Wii2) or an update to its actual console (Wii HD)? I don't really know what to think about it. It's true that the wii needs some HDMI, a HDD and maybe the ability to read DVD films, but it's selling very well right now, so they'll maybe save their cash for a true new console. Any thoughts?

theyre just gona release another console all together.

IMO, the only thing it needs to do is match the next gen graphics with the xbox"720" and ps4, and nintendo is set for winning that gen.



I actually doubt that they use the name Wii again. It's a huge brand name, but I don't think it's going to happen.



Neither really. I think they might update Wiimote's to have built-in Motion Plus.

Maybe, bundle Wii Fit with the Wii. Also, they might put out color Wii's.



Super Wii.

They'll never release a Wii HD. Thats stupid in so many ways.

They'll wait till the next generation to make a new console and whether they keep the Wii name is a guessing game.

Id rather it be named Super Wii than Wii2



Theyll wait to develope a next gen console



Neither. Wii motion plus is the next generation for Nintendo.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

the Wii doesn't nees any of those things. HDMI?? What for? Have you seen the sales at all? The only thing the Wii needs now is software.

The successor to Wii will most likely disrupt the market again.

It'll be HD as HD will be in most homes by the time it launches. It'll aim to break down more barriers of entry into gaming. It'll try to firther the mantra that the controller is an extension of your body, NOT an extention of the console. It'll start with software that captures the attention of gamers that are beginning to get bored of gaming, people who are still lapsed and the Wii didn't pick up and the people that don't play due to the barriers of entry. Then software will come for people who have consciously said NO to the console (just like Wii Fit) and then just like DSi and the Nintendo TV service software will come that has nothing to do with gaming at all.

It'll probably have major 3rd Party support from the get go too.

Yeah, because "next-gen graphics" are a very important factor of winning a console war...[/sarcasm]
