What also makes me happy is if the Wii 2 is indeed "significantly" more powerful than 360/PS3, then that means the next Xbox and PS4 should easily sport hardware that shows off Battlefield 3 PC level visuals, even right at launch.

That French site actually says "sun-screen".

Nothing like Nintendo interface speculation. I enjoy these moments.
Not sure I like IGN Wii's posting a "oh hey guys remember how awesome F-Zero GX is?", then the next article posted is "Nintendo's Next: Wii2". Stopping teasing me. ;_;
This. Add B Button on the back and put everything else (other buttons, analog) on the new nunchuck. The screen layout is changed depending on the game. Simple downloadable games can be streamed on it. The only thing that doesn't make sense then is no multi-touch.plainr_ said:
Can't see it being 3D on the controller. If we just think of the controller as having 'remote play' like the PS3, it'll keep expectations in check. My guess is that they started with the idea of having gameplay on the controller (like four swords), and the streaming was an added feature they could bring. Perhaps they have research that shows more people would like to play but the lounge TV is being used for other things (common in my house), so this approach would help with that.
Anyway, good old crazy times coming again. Looking forward to E3..
Wonder how long Sony/MS will leave it before they start spoiling tactics? Is could work well for them, if they have plans to be ready around the end of 2012 or even 2013. They can gauge the public appetite for a new generation nd have time to respond
I'm surprised nintendo are showing it publicly this early. If it's not out until next Christmas, doesn't that put some people off buying the Wii? I suppose they are confident that the buyers of Wiis now are not the sort of people to buy a Wii2 at launch, which seems fair enough.

Supposedly this Nintendo thing won't be available til late 2012. All MS and Sony have to do is some previews of what the real next generation of hardware will be capable of at E3 2012 and announce their intent to launch Holiday 2013 to undermine Nintendo.
Why is everyone so stuck about this thing being able to detach? Wasn't it mentioned in the OP that the controller might be used as a sensor bar? Couldn't they just easily keep the wiimotes around? "if you want to play a wii game, keep your wiimotes!"
Is this too unlikely?

How's this for a silly idea. How about a Mario Kart where two people are playing. One person is a driver looking at the TV, and the other an item user.
The item user can look out the sides of the vehicle using the detected position/direction of where he is moving/pointing his controller, and from this perspective on his controller-screen he can hurl shells and bananas and what not at opposing drivers, as if he were within kart displayed on the TV.
Where this all falls apart is if the slightest obstruction of the sensors screws everything up, but it's fun to speculate weird shit, it is Nintendo after all.

It doesn't make sense that Wii 2 will come out at the end of 2012.
By then Microsoft could easily have the next Xbox ready, and Nintendo's new system seems to rely on getting a head start.

My biggest wonder is what are Nintendo going to do online community wise? Are they going to go all Xbox live this time, nice intergrated systems that can be used in all games, leave it up to the game developers or do a something totally different?

They revealed the Wii at E3 a year before it launched too....

Unless you were born at the DS era - and hell, even the DS era started with that grotesque brick - the Nintendo I know has made plenty of ugly pieces of hardware. I'm sorry but except for the Wii, the GBA SP/Micro and the DS Lite, each of their platforms has been just sort of middling or outright ugly.
And CONTROLLER-WISE, which is what we're discussing here, they've made some truly offensive looking controllers. The controllers might have worked and been even comfortable, but ugly they did look

I would be all over this if the remote is something similar to this!
Jackano said:
good maybe this time we'll get better games out of it. who cares about leaks. the earlier devs are on board, the quicker they'll come to terms with the hardware and start making better games
Also: I'm almost positive Nintendo does not give a shit that any of this info is out.
