It's no surprise I think companies start working on their next systems as soon as the current gen ones come out. But it is nice to know about it anyway. I think a 2011 release would be great! 5-6 years is way too much.

It looks like Nintendo is playing the same card they did with the GC.

hopefully the Wiimote+nunchuk will return but with M+ in each of them, 1 or 2 extra buttons, and maybe a second pointer in the nunchuk.

the hardware should surpass the PS3 and 360 (including internal memory)

and the online needs improvement

Short yet sufficient. Yeah at least where the PS3 is. I'm sick on Nintendo's systems not have the capabilities of it's competitors just so that Nintendo can make that extra buck.

Agreed, but i can imagine them returning to a Gamecube style (not the same, just the design of a conventional contoller) with built in motion sensors and an IR pointer where the wire usually would be. Hey its just a thought i came up with :P

Uh? They did it ONCE. How can you be sick of something they've done ONCE? Plus, the reason they did it was precisely because releasing überpowerful consoles like the Gamecube simply was not working.

I hope the next nintendo console has:

  • xbox 360 - like controller but with enough motion sensing capabilities, posibly even keep the pointing capabilities
  • Wii Disc backward compatibility,
  • gamecube games on the VC,


please post what you would like from the next nintendo home console as well :)

That would be utterly idiotic. Both Sony and Microsoft will release a nunchuk + PS4/720mote controller type of device for their next consoles (and that's assuming they don't do something really stupid and release it for their current gen consoles). Going back to a traditional gamepad would mean Nintendo is going backwards. If anything, a few more buttons should be more than enough for every genre. Then again, they only genre that's really hard to map on the curent Wiimote + nunchuk configuration are fighters. For every other genre, it works either just as good or significatively better.

What i have noticed about nintendo is that their next system is almost exactly like the last exept with better graphics and weirded controlers i'll explain. NES with the SNES, N64 with the GC so the next Nintendo system is bound to be like the wii i just hope to god that nintendo will give its next system a hardrive.

Lets see.....every 5 - 6 years Nintendo comes out with a new console. So..it'll come out in 3 - 4 years.

I hope its not like Wii. They sould make it normal like 360, yet the system is completely revolutionary. As in the things you can do on the system.

Like..Gamesube 2 or something. XD

Its broken down in two ways:

Producer's (Nintendo's) hope: be out in the next few years so that the maximum capital can be made

Customer's (Us) hope: focus more on the current system

Or they can just be like SEGA and flood the market with way too much and hang themselves. I'm really suprised this has yet to happen with all the Nintendo stuff out there. Lets cross our fingers we can still play them VC, GC and Wii games on it. GC Backwards compatibility and The VC is the only reason I even bought a Wii. No BC no buy! :D

If they try and make it as powerful as the PS3/360, then they will again fail, by that time it needs to be as powerful as the PS4/XBOX3 ;)

I think they'll push the wiimote forward, with a more comfortable to hold version contoured to the hand, more buttons, and hopefully rechargeable of the bat. I'd imaging internal storage is a must, and hugely beefed up specs.

Hmm, why do people keep saying more buttons?Nintendo created the wiimote because they thought standard controllers were to complex with many buttons..Why would they put more buttons on something that's meant to get rid of buttons..

I do agree nintendo will push the wiimote forward, but i think in a way we wont expect..In terms of graphics i feel the New Wii may be a little less powerful or just as powerful as the current PS3..Call me crazy but thats kinda the vibe i'm getting :P

In my opinion, the less buttons, the better.

And they were right. I personally know people who left gaming after the NES or SNES days because they were getting overwhelmed with the controls.

Besides, I believe there are potentially better ways to improve the control method. (As I pointed out in a blog post like a month ago.)

Agreed. I've never seen the need for more buttons. I personally like how many buttons the Wiimote has now. Why add more buttons when it has a good and sufficient amount?

Not on par with the Xbox, but on the other hand it actually was more powerful than the PS2 in the graphics department. The best example of this is Resident Evil 4.

2012 seems like a good timeframe for new consoles. anything sooner would be too early. it seems that basically everyone one in the videogame world is making a profit right now, there is no need for anything new right now. companies should concentrate more on making quality games right now and making new systems second.

of course right after making a new system the big 3 should concentrate on creating an even better system. but right now with the price of gas, food, games, etc... paying $50 a game is plenty right now. with the new systems we could easily be paying $70 or $80 a game. im quite happy with my wii right now. i am in no rush to worry about buying a new system.
