[3DS] Wii 2 to be revealed at E3; Significantly more powerful than 360/PS3

[leaffan]

I find this odd.
People are willing to upgrade their PCs, TVs and a lot of other electronic shit on a 4-5 year turnover. Hell, they're willing to do the same with automobiles ... but doing it with a console is a no go?
Seems strange to me.

Agreed as I mentioned above. I havent had my mind blown by a game visually in a long time. Having to wait 4-5 more years is saddening.

Crysis 1! Lol people can finally afford and find computers to run it now. Shame how a 4 year old game looks better then most games out now but that because console hardware is old news!

Give me more powerful consoles now!

I don't care if Nintendo sells 1 billion Wii's, it'll still be a glorified paperweight with little to offer in the game department and a gimmick for a controller.

And while Nintendo's stable of games are well designed, I'm over them. I was getting tired of the same Mario, Zelda shit WHEN IT WAS ON THE SUPER NINTENDO. Now it's just overkill. I know that that will both some people, but it's just the way I feel. I'm tired of the same (bad) stories and basically the same exact features all for a few tweaks in gameplay. Just my .02. I will not be duped by Nintendo again.

Did Zelda ever grow up ?

Always felt it could be a pretty kick ass Action/RPG but always seemed to keep the kiddy angle.

In short: no. I feel like it peaked on the SNES honestly (although many love Ocarina the most). It suffers from the problems that all Nintendo games do: 1) they never grow up; and 2) they always have the same (or at least drastically similar) stories that are never even remotely well told or intriguing.

"Hurry [insert Nintendo hero here]! Go get the [triforce/princess/metroid]!"

I feel like the good characters they have like say, Pit from Kid Icarus, they're just wasting while they make Mario after Mario or Zelda after Zelda.

to me, the Wii is much better for playing with a lot of people. most of the time when i play, i am alone. i havent touched my Wii in months since i stopped playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 (which to be fair is a great game).

The N64 is the greatest console of this generation? Really? I think the ps2 would like to have a word with you.

As for this this alleged controller. They already charge $60 for a wiimote and nunchuk. I can't wait to see how much that thing will cost.

I also find it funny that all of a sudden Nintendo is going to focus on the hardcore market after they have been making money hand oved fist catering to the casual market the past several years. And just look at and "hardcore" game that releases for the Wii. It tanks in sales miserably, no matter how good it is.

By focus on the hardcore market I think that they are going to go with a lot of 3rd party games as well as exclusives... exclusives are what drives the Wii, and they had little to no exciting 3rd party. now you have motion sensing, plus a joystick controller, high graphics, and the capability to run a game like Call of Duty or Battlefield I think you would find it as an even more dominant system. A lot of households have multiple systems, the Wii could be a one stop shop and therefore even more people will get it. I will def be buying one.

srs wii is a fun system. mario party, mario kart, mario galaxy, plus just dance now. it not the hardcore gamers deal but that could easily be fixed with a stronger system and revamped online system.

if anything the graphics didnt do it but the online system really killed the wii. i eman friend codes wtf?!?!?1 imagaine mario kart with easy online connections.

The Wii has so many great games... but no real great shooters war games stuff like that, but the gameplay in some of these games is awesome and replay value is BY FAR better than the other two systems IMO. The new system BETTER be backwards compatible because I plan on getting the new Zelda and I prob won't beat it until the new system drops lol

Wow....that is a level of delusion I haven't seen recently. Congrats.

 

[jms493]

I call bullshit on the controller.....all the shit is based off 5th hand rumors.....we shall see.
