Nintendo Wii U Thread

I JUST BOUGHT MY ****ING WII IN 2008! This is bullshit!

It came out 2 years earlier! That's what you get for being late to the party!

I don't know about a new Wii. That cheesy 3DS just came out with its shitty launch lineup and crappy battery power. I think they'll be hyping that thing up for a while and even though they *might* unveil a new console, it won't be out until NEXT YEAR and then it'll be a WHILE before any good games come out for it.

It's gonna be tough to outbeat the Xbox 360 Kinect and by the time the Wii2 does come out, Sony and Microsoft will be putting in their new consoles too.

[Hedorah]

I still don't get why people think the next Xbox will be called the 720

What makes you think Sony is ready for a new console? Or that the successor to the Wii will even be motion-based? You're assuming a hell of a lot. Microsoft has also said fairly recently that they're still committed to the 360, so I wouldn't expect them to show off any new hardware for a while.

The PS1 had games coming out for it until 2004 and the PS2 had a run for 10 years. PS3 and 360 will likely not die for a while.

I approve of this.

Like LC, I approve.

I would be floored if this turned out to have a grain of truth to it. Rumors of a Wii HD have been floating around since at least 2007. Its not happening anytime soon and Nintendo has stated they believe the Wii has more life in it.

So unless they plan to pull a Sony and extend the life of the Wii well into the Wii 2's existence, I don't expect any hardware announcements this June (especially after they just LAUNCHED a new piece of hardware).

I hope this doesn't prompt Microsoft and Sony to pull out a new console.

Sorry SG, but your the 3rd person to make this topic.

Wait, where are the others?

[King Caesar]

Nintendo Wii 2 was one of the others, I would say use the search bar, but it's a shit stain of a tool.

[Hellspawn28]

Just a rumor at the moment. I hear it's just a Wii add on, could work since it can have more people buy a Wii since most people view it as a kidddy system.

[Gigan X3]

Well if they say it's backwards compatible then I doubt it's just an add on >_>

Oh right...I've been spreading the news all over different boards lately. Must have lost count.

It's not an add on, it's the full on next system

[Hellspawn28]

There been many rumors, some saying it's a add on and the others saying it's a new system. If it's a new system then I'm not surprise since it been nearly five years since the Wii came out, and Nintendo tends to create a new system every five years. For example:

SNES: 1991 - 1996
N64: 1996 - 2001
Gamecube: 2001 - 2006
Wii: 2006 - 2011

I don't think the Wii will die just yet if the next system comes out. They will end up making Wii games for another two more years until everyone gets the new system.

Edit: I found the original thread. You could have easy search "Wii" and would have found it.

Well it's not like they will announce and instantly release the console.

Coincidental that each one has had a five year span? I think not! ^_^

How long was the NES around for?
