Wii 2 "It's Happening"

DualShockers writes: Lately the internet has been abuzz with Wii 2 rumors ranging from the systems specs, “Project Café” code name , and its imminent debut announcement at this year’s E3. Heck, even we have our own rumors to speak of. But what are the chances that all these rumors are true? Well coming from a man who analyzes video games and works for a video game research firm for a living, the Wii 2 is happening. Renowned video game analyst and vice-president of EEDAR’s financial division, Jesse Divnich, has told DualShockers what he believes regarding the Wii’s successor and the rumors surrounding it.

Correct.

And they're going to do exactly that - with AMD Trinity/Komodo APUs powering the next console. This means that there will be a HUGE leap over Xbox 360 & PS3 in terms of graphical capabilities (Only very high-end PC's of 2011 are able to match its power). The APU will release in 2012 and is said to be cost effective, so expect Super Wii to cost around $249-299.

Finally, Nintendo is going with cutting-edge technology again! :D

@PLB - Yes and they come from an AMD employee himself according to NeoGAF's detectives... I hope its true!

My hype is 200% ;)

To me that still leaves the problem of better exclusive games rather than shovelware. I'm not flamming the Wii but the only good games for that system in my opinion was Brawl, Twilight Princess, and Monster Hunter Tri.

Joni-Ice5521d ago

When he said he spoke to someone who analyzes videos games, I said "please not Patcher again". Glad it wasn't him. Anyway, hope its true.

"Wii HD is too late, they need to go full blown 8th Generation."
Completely agree.
If they are just going to go 7th/7.5th generation then say hello to billions of shovleware on Nintendo's console again.

ChickeyCantor5521d ago

When I find you, i will burn down your house WiiS3.

All this hype for a new console is killing my gaming soul.
I'm a sucker for new console announcements. And if those specs are true....I can only imagine F-zero....fjklasflsalf

I can't wait for the new gen to start. I'm not a PC gamer, and I want my games looking like BF on the PC that's about to come out. I can't wait.

I just hope they can get their online straight for the new gen. I love Live, and hope they can get their online style up there with that and PSN. Because I'll be hopping on right away for some new gen Mario/Zelda and all the rest.

Re-release the Wii w/ a new marketing campaign and line-up of games for casuals.

Announce a hardcore gaming Nintendo system.

Dominate.

plb5521d ago

Why would Nintendo go hardcore when the casuals do so well for them?

Ace_19755521d ago

No thanks I've had enough of Wiifit and Wiisports, Nintendo will just use all this extra power to make your Mii's look more metrosexual. They have no idea about making good games anymore

maniac765521d ago

this next wii better be able to upscaled current wii games or have them ready to download and then upscale lol

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi83d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer83d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot83d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno83d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay83d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno82d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK82d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
