Forums - Nintendo - What will Nintendo announce next year?

YesWiiCan on 14 August 2009

So it seems like Nintendo always announces a new peripheral every year so lets guess what they will announce next year.

2007: Wii Balance Board, Wii Wheel, Wii Zapper
2008: Wii Speak, Wii Motion Plus
2009: Wii Vitality Sensor

What's next?

Wii Camera/Wii See?

Wii Smell?

Wii Hear?

Wii Play Deluxe: Wii Play with Motion Plus and 8 new games, Wii Cockpit(Periphial for Flying titles) Pilotwings and Starfox are soon announced afterwards.



Pixel Art can be fun.

It's kinda futile trying to guess what kind of disruptive product Nintendo may or may not announce next year.. Perhaps looking at their patterns you may see their train of thought..

Wii Remote = Engaging, Exciting

Balance Board = Fitness, Exercise

Vitality Sensor = Calmness, Relaxation

New Peripheral = Motivational?

Who knows.. lol all we know is that these new propositions are designed to be disruptive agents. They aren't aimed at core users but new users that haven't bought the console yet or as Iwata put it, they create more people that change their perception from 'I am not interested in Wii' to 'I might be interested in Wii'.

Of course they will gradually create value for the core user (Shawn White for Balance Board, Eternal Darkness PLEASE for Vitality Sensor)

Basically what I'm saying is it'll use off the shelf parts, be relatively cheap, and it will not be directed at current Wii owners at first.

"Legend of Zelda: Wii 2" anything else is unimportant.

What about the horse riding thingy? its suppose to be use on Wii*** after all!!
Wii Motion++ might come in handy too, to make the Wiimote longer and laser blade capable and dont forget the Viitality sensor thats gonna be huge!



Nintendo is the best videogames company ever!

i vote for starfox wii

its been long enough

otherwise itd be nice to see a new wario ware that takes advantage of the vitality sensor, and the balance board.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

refer to the quote in my sig. Whatever we guess we will probably be wrong anyway.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
