Wii 2, Wii U 2 or GameCube 2? (NEXT NINTENDO CONSOLE)

Come out with a new name why does it have to follow this dumbass 'Wii' thingy

All those names are stupid

If it come out with a new name then this means it does not use Wii remote, gamepad or classic controller. So it can be only hand free controller(like Kinect), then it can have new name but when console uses Wii remote then its Wii 2, Gamepay = Wii U 2, or classic controller = gamecube 2

Is not wii u basically is Wii 2??

your threads are something a 6 year old would make.

Nope. Wii U is not Wii 2 at all.

Wii uses remote, Wii U uses gamepad.

You can´t say Kinect is Xbox 2 because Kinect is camera and Xbox uses controller. So nope. It´s not Wii 2, it´s new brand

but is not its 8th generation nintendo console?

@FreedomFreeLife: considering they named it wiiU it's not a new brand. Keyword being Wii

Why would you assume that? The Gamecube, N64, SNES, and NES all used a "classic" controller, adn went with different names.

Did I just blow your mind?

Ever heard of Wii Wheel, Wii Balance Board, Wii Zapper? Wii U is just add-on but not new console like Wii.

It means nothing. Ever heard of movie reboots? Just because it´s 8th does not mean 9th console can´t be Wii 2 with Wii Remote. Right now we have U with gamepad, not with Remote.

@FreedomFreeLife: it is a new console

new console new name...none of this Wii crap. If Iwata is still in charge you can be sure it will be weaker than MS/Sony. Heck it may even just be a Wii U hardware on steroid...like how they put GC hardware on steroid & got the Wii. :P

They should bring back the Entertainment System name. Also would prefer it not to really be powerful but not weak, would like it to be right in the middle and traditional controller maybe with a small new spin on it.

TC there won't be anything with "2". They never used numbers on their consoles.

If that was the case their next console would be called Nintendo 7 since it will be their 7th console.

As I've said before it should be Wii U2. Have it be endorsed by Bono. It'll sell like hotcakes in Australia and all those countries he helps.

Wii U Them.

Wii, U and I .. that's the perfect name for Nintendo's next system

Nintendo's hardware is basically irrelevant outside of the interface. They are only going to do as much as is needed to make the games they want. I suspect after the jump to HD, there's really not much else Nintendo could care for spec-wise and we will see nothing but small incremental jumps to be able to include certain hardware contingent features. Unless two things change: Nintendo begins caring about offering a platform of parity to once again help attract third parties (doubtful), or Takeda gets booted out of the board of Ds.

Their hardware as it stands now fits their philosophy perfectly: cheap enough to make and profit right off the shelf, and powerful enough to realize their ambitions. They're not going to adopt Sony and MS's 'take a loss on hardware to make up for it on software' attitude, and rightfully so considering the problems they have getting enough games out on their systems in a respectful timeframe as is. It'd be suicide. In fact, I don't think they really have a choice in how powerful they want their consoles to be until they rectify their software issues.

It won't have the wii name, and it is likely Nintendo will take some level of risk and put a little more power in the box. It is likely to be more traditional, yet support controllers from past consoles like the wii/wiiu. Maybe not game bc for all past consoles, but the option to use X control scheme.

The next Nintendo console will be a Steambox with Nintendo hardware that plays Nintendo games with a Nintendo controller and makes use of Steam servers.

Or that is what I hope ^__^

I suppose that it would be complicated because Nintendo will need to ensure a family friendly device and Steam isn't exactly family friendly. So the interface for accessing Steam games and adding Steam friends would have to be Nintendo-fied.
Still I hope both see the potential for such a colaboration depending on how creative they think about this.

Really? You're serious?

If anyone ever needed additional proof that you have no clue what you're talking about, this is it. If you knew anything at all about the Wii U, you would know that it is backwards compatible with Wii peripherals. You can use the wiimote in the dashboard to select the software you want, and there are games that support the wiimote/nunchuck control scheme.

Wii U Mii..... fur chur. :P

Nintendo has a lot of catching up to do for me to consider buying another one of their systems. They've lost most of their credibility with me as they went from a great system like Gamecube (my favorite Nintendo console) to the Wii which in my opinion was complete crap mostly due to the controller. WiiU hasn't changed my mind, so I doubt their next system will either.

The next Nintendo console won't be necessary until approximately 2017 at the earliest. And it probably will be just like the Wii U, moderately powerful for the time and have some sort of gimmick that helps grab attention.

The current Nintendo console is at the point of turnaround that the 3DS experienced. And as history has proven, the most powerful console never wins the generation.

I say it'll be new name, more powerful, but by the time the PS5 and next xbox come out it will be where WiiU is.

No shit, Sherlock.

Meh,standard level of OP's quality

SuperWiiCube U

THE SUPER VIDEO GAME MACHINE FOR HARDCORE MATURE GAMES WITH 8 TERABYTES OF DDR16 RAM ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.

I don't get it, what is fueling the stereotype that the Wii u was terrible online services? That just proves you don't own one . Mario Kart 8's online is top notch, it doesn't have the lag like the Wii had. It's easy to hop in another players game from your friends list and from the game's menu. Monster Hunter 3, no lag. Please explain why this false stereotype lives on.

Super Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System (SUNES)

Fucking bring it on, muddafuckaz!!!!

I'd like a proper console (ie. like Gamecube), with the option of the Gamepad & a proper controller.

a wii 2 with an enhanced wiimote and nunchuck. doesnt need to go mad on the power but something 4-5 times more powerful than a PS4 would be grand.

the wiiu is an evolutionary dead end and a copy of sony and MSs consoles will lead to utter destruction for nintendo.

there is sooooooo much untapped potential in the idea of the wii but they need to take another crack at it. the wii itself was a good first shot but it was a bit like the nes....many issues that need a new console gen to resolve.

They should seriously name it the gamecube 2.

either that or WiifuckedUp.

Nintendo has never added a number to their consoles and NEVER will... TARD

N64-2

Nintendo will never produce a super powerful console so I don't know why people want nintendo to. They want to make their next console affordable($199-$299) most likely when it launches. I think nintendo gave up trying to go after the big western third parties after the WiiU's disastrous launch.They will just find another way to increase software output and focus on building their own unique platform.

Wii U 2, I liked the GamePad, it also has Wiimote functionality.

Totally agree with you. If they put out a console that was fairly priced, and released a decent game on it every 2 months I would be sold. WiiU would be incredible now if it weren't for the game droughts.

Mega Nintendo.

Then make it a powerhouse with few but excellent games that actually meet the standard of what was out in the late 90's.

Started with NES, Nintendo. Then on to SNES, Super Nintendo. They should make a Ultra Mega Hyper Super Nintendo.

the wii u uses both. and other gamepads. But it is hardly worthy of being called a successor.

They will go with a unique naming convention for Gen9.

Nintendo Woo

Nintendo Revolution.. that was such an awesome console name they should of went with instead of Wii
