Wii2 details leaked. A user interaction example.

Misterxmedia writes: "Today i spoke with my reliable source and knew new details about Wii2. Wii2 will have a mobile projector build in at wii-remote controller and kinect like 3d-camera. That means that we will be allowed to play games on any wall without TV in a room where wii2 is placed. And we still could play with wii mote on a TV.

Watсh a video below and see how we could play on any wall without a controller on this similar tech example.

"Wii2 will have mobile projector and kinect like 3d-camera"

ROFL!

arjman5217d ago

Why not? The Wii bought motion controls to the mainstream, a mobile projector and 3d camera is perfectly feasible

Dramscus5217d ago

a mobile projector isn't such a long shot. I mean there are cell phones with 720p projectors in them.

nveenio5217d ago

There's no way. Unless, of course, Nintendo is trying to blow millions of dollars on R&D in order to cover how they help to fund all of Batman's new gadgets.

Wenis5217d ago

I don't think I have any available wall in my house to use this for... unless I move some furniture around...

NukaCola5217d ago

If you check out the Life Wall from Panasonic, it is really cool. Not saying this is a Wii thing or not, but I like the concept.

mikeslemonade5216d ago

I don't think Nintendo will put enough tech power in such a thing to make worthwhile. Graphically it's gonna be step back once again. I can see them making an accessory but not a full system based around it.

xer05216d ago

Look at the amount of cameras used in this demo.
Sorry but i'm calling BS. Besides - I don't have the wall space for anything like this.

Soldierone5216d ago

Good thing i wasnt the only one that saw how stupid this idea was. With cell phones its cool for specific reasons. But a console in your house? Not unless your absolute goal is to sell to 5 year olds....

Wii2 will be nothing more than another casual gaming console. It will have better motion controls, but thats about it. Nintendo found their pot of gold. Remember Gamecube when they actually tried to compete? They nearly became a Sega....

AWBrawler5212d ago

But Nintendo copying Microsoft is unlikely.

See how Kinect is dying in japan? now Nintendo being a Japanese company, does not want to launch something that will die in their home land

But doesn't it need to be dark for a projector to work? So how would the camera work if it has to be dark to see the screen...a normal TV would be better imo

Btw, I know it's only an option...so don't tell me

shadow27975216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

Umm the video is outside in broad daylight. If it can work there, it can work pretty much anywhere. Assuming it's legit, of course. But if the video isn't legit, then the story is obviously false anyway.

It's a cool concept, but one I think would get old pretty quickly. Definitely not the type of games I buy consoles for. That and I have no spare walls.

bozebo5216d ago

"It's a cool concept, but one I think would get old pretty quickly. Definitely not the type of games I buy consoles for."

this is true, but hundreds of millions of people will - for some reason :/

djreplay5217d ago

I know Nintendo aren't daft enough to put a projector in there next console. I mean who hasn't got a tv?

killershadow1175217d ago

I agree, and if it was a projector then why didn't the dog get blocked by the people walking by or standing right in front of in like in the end.

interrergator5217d ago

@shanks that video is even as funny as wat wii 2 is gona do ROFL

Rumor5216d ago

how would his work?? is my question. the wii will see as a projecor AND a 3d sensor!?

i HAVE to see it to believe it

Who is this Video related to the Wii2?

Xwow20085217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

i remember a video shown in a Nintendo event showing holographic 3d image maybe thats what they want to do.

Nintendo, finding ways to blind you since 2011

bakaPX5217d ago

*correction
Nintendo has been trying to blind you ever since the Virtual Boy days.

bozebo5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

lol how did you manage to get a disagree for that comment :P

HappyGaming5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

@bozebo The guy who disagreed is partially blind because he played to much Virtual Boy in the late 90s and he thought he was clicking agree...

bakaPX5216d ago

Probably a fanboy or what Gumtrol said. They can't accept the truth.

INehalemEXI5217d ago

it's like an eye pet dealy huh.

Stealth20k5217d ago (Edited 5217d ago )

i have a source that says its made out of marshmellows, and halo will be a launch title. In addition the wii2 can act as a jetpack and help people fly

see i can make stuff up too, so why does this guy get an article and i dont?

Wizziokid5217d ago

I agree, just think of the N64, good times :)

mcstorm5217d ago

Loved the N64 downloaded the new N64 emulator for my galaxy tab today works really well n to have golden eye Mario 64 zelda n Mario kart 64 again is amazing.

Also think this is a load of poo I believe the next Nintendo console will have a kinect like cam with wii controller but not a projector this is daft n sounds made up to me.

kesvalk5217d ago

you forgot to say that wii2 can drive the kids to school and alert you of a zombie attack...

jwk945217d ago

None of that is plausible, it doesnt make sense. At the most, it'll be able to have ps3 and 360 graphics and grill a steak in under 10min, but thats only once devs optimize the console.

fossilfern5217d ago

Am i the only one who hopes the next Wii will just have a standard controller and no waggle shit ?

Ayer995217d ago

No. But you and the seven people that agreed on your comment are pretty much it.

HappyGaming5216d ago

Than it would be a Gamecube 2 not a Wii 2...

unless Wii 2 does the something Sony have been doing with motion controls (were the motion controls are there but they are not the main controller like Eye Toy and Move.)

hellzsupernova5217d ago

you always have the option to use the gamecube controllers on your wii

hellzsupernova5217d ago

@killer_pwned89 oh i did not know that. that does suck they should support both peripherals

shadow27975216d ago

Then it wouldn't be a Wii, would it?

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

Neonridr4d ago

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Goodguy014d ago

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr4d ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher4d ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr3d ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire953d ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

repsahj2d ago

My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.

jznrpg2d ago

My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.

jambola2d ago

"people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will."
no, nobody is acting like that, you're jsut exaggerating it and lying to downplay a problem

-Foxtrot2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Nintendos biggest defender on here so it figures

gold_drake2d ago

you know, i said the same thing not too long ago and then BOOM both controllers ha.

one on the moving stick and one on the look around stick.

both suck arse. ha

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

spoonard2d ago

Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!

Chocoburger2d ago

Because its a scam for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft to sell more overpriced controllers.

jambola2d ago

because pathetic fanboys will continue to defend and support

Doomeduk2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

WD 40 if it's shagg.d anyway why not ? I ordered a new ps5 pad after Helldivers 2 and POE 2 became unplayable due to drift but in the meantime I fired a bit of WD on my balls just below my stick rotated in a clockwise fashion massaging it in so to speak and also did the pin reset thingy and all clean no drift and hit that cancel purchase button like I meant it

UltimateOwnage2d ago

Honestly I’ve used my original Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller since launch and only in the last year did I see drift start to show up on one of my JoyCons. I’m sure it happens depending on how much and how firm the joystick is used, but it seems like a minor issue that goes with wear and tear after thousands of hours of play. I wish there had been Hall Effect sticks on Switch 2 just so there’s one less thing to worry about, but I’m not really concerned about it.
