Dude that is really creepy.
Anyway, what a boring letter that is. It sounds like they might at least show something tomorrow though.

Re: Wii's successor system
Nintendo Co. Ltd. has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii, which the company has sold 86.01 million units on a consolidated shipment bass between its launch in 2006 and the end of March 2011.
We will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles.
Sales of this new system have not been included in the financial forecasts announced today for the fiscal term ending March 2012.

Playable at E3.
Probably not coming out this fiscal year.

antonz said:Its interesting that they are hiding the name. Guessing it does give away plans because they didn't hide the 3DS name.
Sinoox said:This still makes ZERO sense to me, what's the point of a screen on a controller? The reasons stated don't seem to be very worthwhile (no screen looking/have others play different games at once). Others have said it before, it's like a handheld and won't provide the experience many yearn for in their homes if using the TV isn't an option. I want to be able to hook my console up to a giant 50'' HDTV with 7.1 surround sound! That's the joy of gaming at home, the experience is just so much more robust.
Also, I just want a freaking HD Zelda game!! Is that too much to ask, Nintendo?!!
I'm pretty sure you'll be getting those.Sinoox said:This still makes ZERO sense to me, what's the point of a screen on a controller?

Regardless, I think my body is ready.

Can someone explain this "FK" meme to me? I've seen this everywhere.Zero-Crescent said:Let's see... the positioning of the whiskers, the shape of the rabbit's face and ear... position the last line between the eyes...
(I wouldn't be surprised if a hundred people already made this joke, but what the heck)
because of the secret feature, that'll be the only way to play it,I Push Fat Kids said:So I can play HD Zelda on the toilet in a year's time?
