Leading microchip manufacturer Intel believes Nintendo's successor to the best-selling Wii console won't come with hand controllers.
"We imagine some future generation of [Nintendo's] Wii won't have hand controllers," said Justin Rattner, the company's chief technology officer.
"You just set up the cameras around the room and wave your hand like you're playing tennis."
Ofcource any of the 3 companies could also use this technology, not just Nintendo.
According to Business Week, the firm is keen not to miss the opportunity to get involved in the next generations of games systems after it was beaten to it by IBM for the current models.
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.

New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
seriously, just give me a controller let me play. I understand it appeals to a casual market, but playing games for about 18 years with a controller, this stuff just doesn't work very well for me, nor does the Wii itself. Still own one yes drunk Wii Sport, Brawl when released, SMG, and Zelda. That's really it.
Will Wii 2 have HD?
What a awful idea.

so don't take it so seriously, actually i believe they will keep the GCN controllers.
not all games are playable with motion controlling ( games like Super smash brothers or any other game like street fighter just wont work with motion)
one step at time
