Kotaku: "A thinning Wii release list, a rumored impending price drop, and reports that Nintendo is about to reveal its next console all seemingly point to one thing: Nintendo is about to reveal its next console.
Game Informer says the successor to the Wii—Wii 2, Nintendo HD, Super Wii, GameCube 3, whatever you want to call it—will be revealed at E3 2011 and launched next year. IGN says we'll hear official confirmation this month. We've heard from sources that it'll be more powerful than an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
So here are the blindingly obvious improvements Kotaku wants from the Wii 2."
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
The catastrophic launch of MindsEye dominates the Direct this week - but how does the game actually look and run on PS5…
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
I'm sure whatever they call it, and regardless of its specs, it will sell well. All they've got to do is bring back some of their classic games with a coat of HD paint, price the console at a decent pricepoint, and people will line up in droves to buy it. Hell, I may even buy it. I haven't had a Nintendo console since the original NES. lol I miss me some Mario games, actually. Super Mario Bros 3 was the bomb back in the day. haha Back when gaming was just fun, and no one cared about console wars.
I hope it's not a gamecube 3 or a wii 2 spec wise.
it would be nice if nintendo weren't too frakking cheap to make sure their next home console will actually play audio cds this time,at least, dvds would be nice too, but at least let the thing play the nearly thirty year old, but still widely used, format
seriously, how much would it have cost to allow the wii to play cds?
so if they could not skimp on what should be a basic function like that next time, that would be cool.
