canand Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) I want to see Nintendo booth. According to French site GameBlog.fr, Nintendo’s next console will be dubbed “Wii Hi-Fi” (not Wii HD) and is set for a reveal during the company’s E3 conference next week. We don’t normally cover Nintendo consoles here on TSA, but claims from the French site that the new machine will reach Xbox 360 levels of visuals make a very clear ping on our radars. Here’s what GameBlog.fr are citing (albeit translated into English) as the main differences between the Wii and whatever the follow-up will be: It should be on par with the 360 It should not be called Wii 2 but Wii HiFi It will be very online-oriented this time Community aspects will be a big component It should be out around November 2011 Naturally, this is all hearsay and rumours just now, we’ve certainly not heard anything on this ourselves but if it’s true it’s basically what we’d expect Nintendo to do next, anyway. Hopes are high for the big reveal of a new Zelda title from the Japanese company next week.

lostmario Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 There won't be a Wii successor announced at E3. Wii HiFi is a horrible name. The problem for Nintendo now is that they need to use the Wii name for their next console. Its now up there with Playstation in terms of brand recognition. Apart from Wii HD or Wii 2, there arent many other names they could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Super Wii :p I'm not so sure they can't use a new name. They've done it the whole time (the SNES being the only cheating one) and I'd say most people know its the "Nintendo Wii". But yeah, there won't be a new Wii at E3.

darksnowman Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 IGN are claiming Retro Studios are working on a Donkey Kong game. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/109/1096857p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 While very interesting if true, there would be no end to comparisons with Rare. I'm not sure that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Certainly an interesting rumour. Would turn a lot of heads if it turned out to be true but I just don't quite see it. I reckon they'll probably be working on something a bit more action oriented than a Donkey Kong title (unless they've really changed up the way Donkey Kong is going to play). We'll find out soon enough what it is, presuming Nintendo are going to announce/show it at E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I reckon they'll probably be working on something a bit more action oriented than a Donkey Kong title Yeah, based on what Miyamoto said before about Retro having some game with cars with guns on them, Retro sound more suited to making a new Vigilante 8 game.

LostOverThere Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If that's true, that would explain why Donkey Kong 64 isn't on Virtual Console yet. Though, this is coming from the same source that said Retro was working on the next Zelda title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nov 2011 would be too late (though better late than never). Wii HD (HiFi doesn't even make any sense) is needed as I've claimed many may times before. Can't see it, but I think they should. Retro Donkey Kong? Hmm. I don't know, I'd like them to work on something new to be honest, but could still be exciting; especially if they do a serious adaptation.

Ganepark32 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Yeah but if they dont then sony will win the console war. For a 23 year old, you really do talk a load of crap and it is beginning to irritate. No one cares about the console war. Nintendo don't need a Wii HD. Fact. Console sales, while having dropped worldwide, are still high enough that the Wii is still outselling both the PS3 and 360, which the exception being in the Japanese market where both the PS3 and Wii have been neck and neck for sometime now as a result of more sought after and Japanese centric software launching on the PS3. It is more likely now, given the time lapsed in the current console cycle and the Wii's hardware limitations, that a HD Wii is not on the cards. Rather, it is more likely that Nintendo will choose to focus efforts on the development of their next home console, which will have HD and will presumably be unveiled in some form at next year's E3 event. Adding HD to the current console specification of the Wii will do nothing to improve the console or the games. Visuals will look slightly crisper but textures and blemishes that are easily overlooked under SD output will become heavily apparent in HD, this extending to all games. There's no point in Nintendo making something which will ultimately make their games look worse than they do being played on the Wii. I really wish this Wii HD rumour would be put to bed. Hopefully, Nintendo will do just that at E3 so I don't have to put up with this constant moaning for it to happen when if people really think about it, it makes no sense to do whatsoever.

Fused King's Log 2010 - 13th of June I lol'd. ---- I must agree though, I don't understand this 'canand' fellow. At first I thought he's just your regular spammer and random jizz-poster, but then I saw his special text under his nickname thus figuring him having some importance to the site..... He's special: peace: ---- The Wii's successor will be mentioned. Edited June 13, 2010 by Fused King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmario Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Nintendo relley needs to bring out Wii HD soon. No, it doesnt. Next year at E3 you will hear about the Wii's successor. Yeah but if they dont then sony will win the console war. How? Sony is in a battle with Microsoft for the No.2 spot this gen. canand, just be happy you are going to get the 3DS shown at E3 and a few new Wii titles announced. It must be said, you are one hell of a fanboy. Edited June 13, 2010 by lostmario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
