For the past week we've been bringing you Wii 2 rumours, but Shigeru Miyamoto has just all-but confirmed the console is in the works with a few well-chosen words spoken to Edge.
The respected magazine pressed Mario's creator about the upcoming console, to which Miyamoto replied:
Don’t ask! Even when the Wii launched we were developing new hardware, work on 3DS had already started. It’s a matter of when we announce it.
Nintendo will make the announcement at E3 though, right? Maybe not.
Please wait. Be patient until we decide.
Rumours abound that next week's investor meeting will mention some details of the new console. Stay tuned to Nintendo Life and we'll bring you all the relevant details.

hey this is nintendo. perfection best not be rushed. people get answers from nintendo unlike apple which are always hush hush about everything in the production line
What a tease.
Miyamoto is such a tease.
LOL get out of my head @2.
Well, there were 3DS rumors last year and at E3 it was revealed....now there are "Wii 2" rumors, meaning this year's E3...
Can E3 hurry up please. And I hope this time they'll say something about Pikmin 3.
I can't handle all this....cries
Am I the only patient person here?! D:
@TwilightV Yes and it's making the rest of us look bad
@James Newton: Another job well done then!
Well I hope they won't even mention it on the upcoming E3. Just announce loads of top quality Wii and (3)DS games. Would be terrible for the sales of the Wii, especially when you plan on releasing it end 2012 with another E3 in between.
A lot of the folks here should allow Nintendo direct access to their bank accounts.
SMEXIZELDAMAN is in your Nintendo stealing all your Wii2s!
Patience.......
(How long am I expected to hold this up? I'm about to self-destruct here!)
Wahahhaa. And so Miyamoto has confirmed that all past rumors are FAKE. Thank you Miyamoto, you have helped me bear the time again Thumbs up
What would patience be if you were asking when at the same god damn time
OMG NINTENDO HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nin-Steven1687 Where did he do that, exactly..?
Well if they actually had good launch games fo the 3ds, then I wouldnt mind waiting so long. But nooo...
@16 This means that they probably haven't even given info to developers. and basically saying all these rumors are just rumors. Didn't they also admit it was a bad kept secret before E3 when the rumors about the 3DS came out?
@14 You're referring to "don't believe everything you read on the internet"? Cause I believe you read that on the internet.
See what I did there?
5.......4......3......2.......
I think it will be announced (some what) next week at the investors meeting, and the curtain will be taken off at this year's E3 press conference.
You'd have to be an idiot to not think there will be a successor to the Wii coming soon. I don't want to think about it, but in another 10 years there will be the Wii's successor's successor. Unless the apocalypse ends all vidya games. I cannot express enough how little I care about a Wii successor. The Wii hasn't even left a good enough legacy like the DS to move on yet!
@James Newton: No clue xD
@19: oh i c wut u did deir...
IGN is tweeting that they're going to find out new information on IGN Nintendo in a few days about a "certain project". Wonder what that is? LOL
The pic of him makes me think of that scene early in "Saving Private Ryan". Don't remember the exact quotes.
What did he say?
He said: "Look, I wash my hands"!
Hee hee.
Cards close to chest.
Miyamoto pretty much confirmed that the Wii2 exists. Now THAT is a reason for being patient.
They really should reveal it at E3. I'm sorry but even announcing a batch of top-quality Wii titles won't save it now. It's time for a new console.
Miyamoto is so awesome. Too bad he lives on the other side of the world.
Cripes. It`s the around size of an XBox and looks kinda like a SNES. Having a hard time picturing that. lol
If the rumored specs are true then it'll be an amazing console. The controller screen streaming is a great idea too, allowing for strategic local multiplayer games.
Patience, grasshoppers. It will come when it comes. There's no rushing perfection. A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever.
He's lying... they should've put a liar neon sign on the wall. Plus his left eye is twitching...
wow! he didn't deny anything! he just "said": this thing is there, just wait for an official announcement and do not try to convince us to announce anything before we believe it is time.
He reminds me so much of my Geometry teacher Mrs. Chang XD
I'm suprised how many of the other comments seem to be unaware that Nintendo are always working on the next console, or the next handheld. (they gotta give their hardware engineers a job to do inbetween launches you know? ) So of course the next home console exists in the making and they've probably started working on the next handheld too (if only in the design stage). So with that info you now understand that what Miyamoto actually means is: 'we are working on the next home console (as per usual) & will be revealing it when we are ready (of course)'.
Nintendo, take your time. Make it totally awesome. and give me time to accumulate sufficient funds to purchase such device
"I know nothing!" - Miyamoto is clearly lying!
Patience is kind of hard for core gamers and fanboys who, just like they play their games, live their lives by the seat of their pants!
@39 Must be some pretty dirty pants if you ask me.
I'm not being impatient, my first guess of an new Nintendo, Sony and possibly Microsoft console coming out was in about 2 years.
"Patience" is probably not a good choice of words for people who have had to deal with seemingly-limitless delays. Honestly, I wish Nintendo would stop announcing premature release dates.
But that's another subject. I'm actually in no hurry to find everything aout about what I'm sure is not going to be called the Wii 2.
