You are really commenting on things that are ALL rumors at this point. The only thing confirmed is Nintendo's confirmation that they're going to release a successor to the Wii next year. You're getting way too ahead of yourself and talking about this stuff as if it's fact.

[therevivedone]

@merobb986 I said that. At about 42 seconds I said that there is no solid info but we can round up some reports and make an educated guess. That's basically this video.

[badboybrawl9977]

Respond to this video? YEAH!!!! BRINGING BACK THE GAMECUBE CONTROLLER!!!!! (it better have wireless and motion!).

[RedDeathXR]

@ClubDevon No.. But that's ok.. CoD is only mediocre at best anyway.

[tonydeadlock]

wii had no games wii 2 probable will not have any games

[ClubDevon]

CAN IT PLAY CALL OF DUTY (all of them)

[dany211294XD]

i prefer ps3 SORRY...

[yaw500]

the 360 came out before the ps3 and the wii so what is he talking about?

[nathangek]

They should call it the Twii :D wii two ;D

[TheJazzman115]

Sorry. I'm a happy 360 owner. Just dropped $400 on it. I don't want to see nintendo's console become so successful that Microsoft will become compelled to make a new console and drop support for the 360.

[SNOWY956]

I agree with everything you just said.we just have to wait to e3...

[piccadillydave]

Oh and I think that although the graphics will only be slightly better than the ps3 and 360, this is still something to be happy about, because nintendo's consoles never really focus on graphics at all. It would also be cool if they focus more on adult games in addition to family games this time, as it would really make me consider buying this console. I like games like zelda and mario, but there really aren't that many games that nintendo have that make me very interested anymore.

[piccadillydave]

Hmm that sucks that you can port games over from 360 and pc, but not ps3, considering that there are many games that you can play on both the ps3 and 360. Maybe this has something to do with the ps3 being blu ray and you can use 360 and pc discs on wii 2?? I would like to see symmetrical joysticks on the controller, rather than the 360 type sticks, because I think symmetrical ones feel more natural, but maybe that's just because it's what I'm used to

[thoodthedude]

Dude whats with the "air quotes"

[thenovaproject100]

I think that the games will be small like the gamecube and the psp and fit in the controller or they would boost the ds gaming and throw in a ds version of the game for the controller or like netflix wirelessly stream the game but that would mean long term celular support so mabye apple and nentendo or nintendo and google will come or it would be huge antenna for long range or short antenna for mabye you where tired but you wanted to play games boom that was my thoughts any questions about what

[macdaddy1ift]

i think this is great for the wii to me i will consider it the future of gaming because they will be the first game producers in this generation to acturually pull off a touch screen on a controller cant wait to see E3 nintendo never disappoints

[PsychoJosh]

Here's what's going to happen: Nintendo's going to release this crap, it'll kick around for a year, then Sony and MS will come out with their systems that are even MORE powerful, and every third party developer on the planet leaves Nintendo for these other systems, which puts Nintendo in last place hardware and software wise AGAIN. I guarantee they'll be in last place in sales too unless they get their whole Wii base of soccer moms and grandmas to migrate to Cafe, which is not going to happen.

[weezmurda]

@therevivedone the wii came out after the ps3 and xbox 360

[bulletproof2353]

both the VR and the AR feature both together t the same time ,or just use VR or just use AR ,just think of the possibilites,and you dont even need a tv either,maybe another device though,similar to the kincect to control the game ,and a wiimote could also be used optionally,or maybe they are planning on making use of the technology they already have in a really innovative way ,as was demonstrated years ago by johnny chung lee,just YT search him and or wiimote face tracking,its truly awesome

[bulletproof2353]

@portalmouth i can really think of anything that would be that innovative,but i saw an article that explaind one idea i had but added another brilliant idea,mine was vr glasses witha concave domed 3ds style 3d screen for each eye and motion sensing on them,so if u look uo you see up in the game,but the article suggested the same think but with 2 out facing cameras on the outside of the glassed,like the 3dss' 3d AR camera system,now that would be awesome,VR and AR in one system,games could use

[velocityeleven]

the screen on the controller could be used to give the player information that is hidden from their opponents during local multiplayer

[Jawbreaker1000]

I also heard somewhere that they may have a mic on the controller. I though it would be cool when your online that you could talk to your team mates and other people through your controller. Just a thought.

[PortalMouth]

@bulletproof2353 It depends on how you use it. I'd welcome it because has a record of being innovative in such things. Also, just because you can't think of use doesn't mean there aren't any.

[Jermz1997]

I am only going to belive you because your last name is Sherlock.

[eljuli1003]

HAHAHAH, press key 1 repeatedly XD

[bulletproof2353]

m$ didnt optomize dvd ,its called dual layer dvd and its nothing ne and the wii uses dl-dvd too

[bulletproof2353]

i hope it doesnt have a screen on the controler ,thats stupic and useless and its been done already ,sort of, on the dreamcast,
