Hello everyone!I read a lot of rumours online about a Wii hd,or Wii 2.My question to you is;do you think Nintendo must come soon with a next-gen console to keep up with ps3&xbox 360?And do you think the next Wii needs some improvements?I have a wishlist of things to improve on the next Wii console,here they are: 1-Nextgen hd graphics. 2-The abbility to download music,videos and photos online. 3-A harddisk. 4-A better online,friend community. 5-A virtual playground,like ps3s 'Home',something like:NintendoLand. I know that all those features are allready on ps3,and 360,but i sold mine,because the games were all dark and violent,and when they try to make a colourful game in 'Nintendostyle',its just not good enough to compare with games like Mario.Do you agree or disagree with me,please leave your comment! Kind regards:bananaBOB.
I'd rather they just make an entirely new console than just revamp their old one.
The Wii is fine as it is anyway, for now that is.
“The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.” - "Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them."
At this point in the game (see what I did there?) I'd rather just stick with what we have and wait for another Nintendo console entirely. I don't care about graphics that much, and I suspect it's the same for almost everyone here, or we wouldn't be on Nintendo Life. I don't have the money to throw around on a revamp of a console I already have.
do you think Nintendo must come soon with a next-gen console to keep up with ps3&xbox 360?
I'm getting tired of hearing people say Nintendo is "behind" or "needs to keep up" with Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo has been far more successful than both of them this generation, so if anything the others need to "catch up" with Nintendo. The Wii's game catalogue continues to get better too. I don't know where this false assumption comes from.
As far as I'm concerned, the Wii is only lacking in its online features (multiplayer, friend service, digital store). Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it and have no desire for a new console.
Nintendo has never been one to make "sequel" consoles either. I expect their next home console to be new and surprising. But it isn't going to be announced any time in the near future. They'll let the 3DS soar for a year or two before they announce their next device.
i'm personally getting extremely tired of hearing this. it doesn't even make sense, and it perpetuates an anti-Nintendo bias in the less discerning of us (i.e. 90% of the internet's population). if something is NEXT generation, then it's coming, but it's not here yet. the Xbox 360 has been out for 5 YEARS! its and the PS3's graphics are CURRENT GEN graphics. I'm fine with you saying the Wii's graphics are outdated and last gen but just don't try to sell of the others as some kind of future, alien technology.
While Nintendo makes up for its graphics with innovation and quality gameplay, I do think the next console Nintendo releases must have HD graphics and better online. This is simply because developers are not making 3D action games for Wii (such as Halo) because the Wii is not the best platform for that kind of game, which means they give them all to the XBOX 360 and sometimes the PS3, while the Wii gets left with 2D minigame collections. I know graphics aren't anything like as important as gameplay, but if Nintendo are so keen to widen their audience to any kind of gamer, they need to update the graphics and online capabilities, or we won't be seeing any of the great action games that the Wii needs, and gamers who want Halo-style games will be buying 360 or Move.

In terms of software, Nintendo might as well be what Sony and Microsoft should be keeping up with.
Right now though, I'm fine with the current consoles, and kinda wish they would stop for a while. Well, I guess a new Wii wouldn't hurt. But I'm not ready for a PS4 yet.
And all of the PS3 games are dark? I don't see that. My TV is very bright.
@HolyMack: Yeah, I tried Home once, and never touched it again. I'll just go hang out with real people, thank you.

Oh, absolutely. I meant sequel in the literal sense - there was no Famicom 2. (And I think the name "Playstation 2" was one of the laziest choices in game hardware history.) But more to the point: pretty much only their handheld devices have ever gotten hardware redesigns. A 3DS Lite may be released but the prospects of a Wii 2 are unlikely, judging from Nintendo's track record.

Totally on the mark. If current-gen graphics are still called next-gen graphics, what are we going to call the graphics of the actual next generation consoles? Post-next-gen graphics? lol.
Please also consider that the Xbox 360's hardware is quite old now and current computer graphics hardware is far superior.

The name "Wii" has gained such recognition in the mainstream that it would be silly to scrap it. While Wii 2 is probably a little too lazy a name, something like Wii HD wouldn't be out of the question I don't think.
Also, the SNES was a direct sequel to the NES, but instead of a 2 they used Super. So......Super Wii?

Does that include a revamp of a DSi (i.e. 3DS)?
I doubt a Wii 2 or Wii HD will be coming out any time soon to be quite honest. Also, Nintendo will most likely come up with a whole new name anyways. Personally, updated Mii Channel, Message Board and maybe throw in a Movie Channel?
But, to be honest, I like the Wii as it is. Its simple, yet intuitive, its fun, yet competitive, its everything a home console should be. And I wouldn't change a thing about it.
No, I want them to start making more good games for the Wii that I already bought. I love RPGs, and yet not a single good one has come out on the Wii. Hopefully Last Story and Monado will come into the states, but if I-m gonna get a new console right now, its gonna be a PS2. I don't care about graphics or hard drives or high performance; I want some good games to play.
I just want the next console to have a standard controller. I'm already done with motion controls, and the only games I get now are one that I can use with my Classic controller, which doesn't seem to be much, I'm afraid.
Seriously, the console could be the Gamecube all over again, and I could still die happy.
Of the next console does sport some weirdo controller as its main feature, I'm just not gonna get it. I'll just stick to 3DS for my Nintendo games (although if Nintendo's 3DS games are anything like their selection on the DS, it may not even be worth that).

What if the motion controller becomes the standard controller?
