Really, Nintendo? Really? Come on.
I know there is going to be a succession to the Wii but I hope that isn't the name.
There is. That's what I heard anyway.
I KNEW there was a catch when I heard "succession to the Wii", I was actually kinda proud of them for not milking the Wii anymore. Then I heard about this from a friend of mine.
SERIOUSLY?
If they make separate games for it I will be pissed.
Calm down guys.
We don't know much about this thing other than a ton of rumors.
Nintendo has confirmed that they will unveil it at E3 this year and that it will come out in 2012. Basically, I'm really excited for this as we'll finally see Nintendo's response to all this Move and Kinect stuff going around plus it will start the next generation of consoles finally!
I think the codename is Project Cafe(that's not a very good name, but it is just a codename and it's better than Wii2).
If you want to see some of the rumors, you can check Destructoid (http://www.destructoid.com/elephant/?t=project-cafe) or just Google around some.
I'm betting on the backwards compatibility and 3DS connection rumors.
The important thing to remember though is that all of these are rumors and may not be true. That goes for both good and bad rumors, so it's probably best to not get worked up over simple speculation and hearsay.
some facts in the matter
1)nintendo has confirmed in a press release that there will be a successor to the wii revealed at the next e3

He's good at giving news about both 3DS and Wii2
The name of the project is called "Project Café".
The controller looks like the bottom have a 3DS. It looks so awesome.
Is that really the official controller or just a mock-up? If it is real, it does look pretty cool I guess. But I don't know how it's going to be able to have Wii-style motion controls. Maybe it works with Wii controllers too? If that's the case then I hope that it's backwards compatible enough to run Gamecube games and controllers. That would be pretty awesome to have 3 generations of consoles be represented at once.
It's just a mock up. No one really knows much about the controller, or the console for that matter, other than:
1) It will be backwards compatible with the wii.
2) The controller will have a 6-inch (that's freaking HUGE!) touchscreen embedded into it, along with the normal buttons.
3) The codename is "Project Cafe", although there are rumors that it might be called the Nintendo Stream or the Nintendo Feel (the touch screen is rumored to have the ability to allow the player to feel textures, hence the second name).
4) THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT BE A TABLET!! ;D
They had to include a normal controller as the third party support on the Wii is dismal. The touch screen idea doesn't even sound like it could be a fun concept, essentially any implementation that can be thought of is just gimmicky. And nobody wants to be constantly looking down at their controller while they're playing a game. Makes it seem unlikely. Plus unless Nintendo has developed magic touch screens that are super cheap, the touch screen controllers would be painfully expensive.
I'd like to see what they could improve with the Wii.
It seems different enough not to be considered a "wii 2". :P
Meh. Backwards compatibility = very similar = not looking so good.
Well, I guess we'll all find out at E3. But until then, I love speculation! It makes us feel like idiots after the console is released and we all think, "How could we ever think it was like this?"
Quote from: SlowPokemon on May 10, 2011, 05:35:53 PMMeh. Backwards compatibility = very similar = not looking so good.
I don't think you know what backward compatibility means.
It means amazingness. You can play games from the previous console
Quote from: KefkaticFanatic on May 10, 2011, 07:14:46 PMI don't think you know what backward compatibility means.
Can play games from previous system.
Yes. By emulating the system. Not necessarily by having similar hardware.
Easy examples: 360 can play much lower end Xbox titles, PS3 could play lower end PS1/2 titles, lots of PC emulators, etc
Therefore, backwards compatibility doesn't mean the system will be at all similar.
Besides, if they didn't make it backward compatible, unless they came out with a LOT of decent games for it too, they wouldn't sell much.
Hey, the Wii was backwards compatible with the Gamecube, and they looked NOTHING alike.
They need backward compatibility for GBA... :'(
Quote from: fingerz on May 11, 2011, 05:34:41 PMThey need backward compatibility for GBA... :'(
Uhh...they do. It can play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
Moar liek the 3DS needs backward compatibility for GBA games.
GB/C games will be on the VC at some point, GBA inclusion is dubious.
If you know what's up you'll just get a flash cart with emulators though.
Not really, flash carts on the 3DS brick your system.
Quote from: Roz~ on May 11, 2011, 05:48:32 PMMoar liek the 3DS needs backward compatibility for GBA games.
My point. I would like to play the games handheld rather than on a TV screen.

Along with like a million other videos.
This is why you check claims like that before you spit them out.

they're only able to do that because it reads the card as a ds game(in that case nemo :P). the old R4 will still brick ur system.
clever....
I am unsure what the point of your post was besides useless babble.
There is no problem using an R4 with the 3DS so long as you aren't expecting to play 3DS games with it. By the way the DS emulation works it simply boots up as if it were in a DS.
No, it wasnt babble, asshole. i said only the new r4's can be used for 3ds, the old ones will still brick ur system(what i've herd, i havent tried this). And even so, nintendo said that with the new street pass feature, firmware can be updated without any input from the user. This would make it a hell of a lot easier for nintendo to stop r4 usage.
CycloDS iEvolution allows games but 3DS games to be played... I think that's ironic. :P

I believe that was his main point, though.
And besides, Kefka is the only one here allowed to be an asshole. So deal with it, and stop being one.
well duh i havent tried it-i'd loose a perfectly good 3ds!
Uhhhhhhh isn't this topic supposed to be about a silly Wii 2?
Bitch about the 3DS here (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=3201.0) please.

No wonder why you guys all stand at the side and watch me resist him alone...
Because he's mutha fukin Kefka.

so? He's a person. I'm a person. You're a person. He has a name. We have names. What's the difference?
Geeze, not again.

...lolwut
Y'all need to grow up.
Oh, the irony.
Oh yeah, and what was the Wii 2's actual name?
Currently it's dubbed "Project Cafe" although that's obviously not going to be the final name. :P
It's just a project name, just like GameCube was Dolphin, N64 was Project Reality and Wii being Revolution.
Guess we'll have to wait until E3 to hear any definite information.
Which is only 3 weeks away now! Huzzah.
Another month before info on the new Pokemon game is released!! :D
I hope I won't be working during Nintendo's conference... hopefully I shouldn't be working since I only work from 5 pm to 9 pm.
Also eveytime I watch Nintendo's conference, some UPS dude/dudette knocks on mah door. It's kind of a tradition now.
Oh wow. I will be out of school early for it because senior year. Holy check.
I get an extra 2 weeks holiday at the end of the year! :D
Quote from: JaMaHa on May 15, 2011, 10:07:18 AM...just like GameCube was Dolphin...
So that's why the emulator is called that! Didn't know that ;)
Dolphin? How the hell does that tie in with a consol.

Still, elephant would've been better. :P
But how epic would it have been if Nintendo kept the project name of the GameCube?
"Hey guys, check out my sweet new Dolphin!"
"Holy Beep, your Dolphin even plays Smash Bros!"
That made someone's day. :P

my dolphin does
Hahahaha! Did the 3DS have a project name?
I think it's just the home consoles that have a project name. Correct me if I'm wrong.

the gameboy advance was apparently codenamed "project atlantis"
Quote from: fingerz on May 18, 2011, 03:08:26 PMHahahaha! Did the 3DS have a project name?
according to some sources on the internet it's nintendo ctr.
