What's most exciting about the Wii successor however is its all-new controller, which industry sources have indicated is not simply an upgraded Wii Remote, and will even feature a built-in HD screen."
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

the rumor mill is spining wildly...
An HD screen on the controller? Hm.....are they trying to do something along the lines of the Dreamcast?
rumors doesnt mean true
I hope they bring out a classic official controler for the people who don't really like Motion controls because each person has their own reasons "I hate motion controls", "Motion Controls are a gimmick", "Motion Controls are too casual" ....you get the point
I have my own reasons though, I would just like to play certain games on the Wii for games which I don't find good with motion controls or if I'm in the mood to do something different.
I think it would be a pretty good way to lure back some of the core audience who are attached to their standard controler
Nintendo dominated this generation with a PAST generation console. Good luck Sony and Microsoft, the Console reigning champion is ready to win AGAIN for 2012. Nintendo 2012 Console Champs.
