Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii Plus(?) in 2011 - First next gen console or current gen?

2012 for everyone and the next Ninty system won't just add HD visuals.

Man, and that's right after Reggie said yet AGAIN that this won't happen.



Above: still the best game of the year.

mmmm..... it would be a "dsi"



Why would they put in the cost of R&D and launching a new console when the wii is selling so well?



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

I've been saying DSi like update for about 2 years now. It will be more like a DSi update. Keep in mind that the DSi also increased resolution, cpu and ram. Not just cameras, flash storage and DSiWare.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I totaly agree with nintendo screwing up what we call generations. It now no longer means "advancing in graphics" it means what ever a developer wants it to. I hate it to be honest. That one company will go against the tide and muster so many followers. but I am building my bridge to get over it.

A thought I just had regarding nintendo HD. The new DSi SUPER GIANT BIG EXTRA LARGE is out now and that features a bigger screen. I'm sure the folks at nintendo are still trying to convince themselves that their SD console looks good on a big HD TV when it frankly doesnt. So given that they have released a new version of the DSi with a bigger screen says to me that we may actually get a HD capable wii that will render the old wii games in HD like the 360 does for original xbox games.

Currently the 360 makes xbox games look better then the wii lol. Nintendo wont be making a wii2 for years to come, but after seeing what they are doing on the dsi they might actually release a HD wii, with nothing changed other then the HD part.

Do it for the gamers nintendo! you know you want to! take a small proffit hit to give us what we want! Microsoft and Sony do it

Generation has always been a chronological thing. Devices with disparate graphics have been part of the same generation before (like with the 3DO in the same generation as the N64), but they were part of the same chronological wave of releases of consoles.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It's selling well now, but what about 3 years from now? It's always good to have something in the pipeline, planning ahead makes good businesses.
