Interesting.

Oh Nintendo, you so crazy!

My body is Reggie.

Umm, OK. Where exactly did that letter come from?

Color me extremely indifferent.

If they have anything down at this point, it's the timeline.

Investor Relations you say?  That is very interesting.  If nothing unfortunate happens, this could be a really crazy E3 this year. "

I didn't disbelieve it, but it seems odd that there is no signature.

I liked it better when it was just vague speculation :(

Will be playable at E3? Interesting.

This didn't provide any information about whether or not I'm going to say "Wow."

This is the same stunt they pulled with the 3DS! While keeping investors informed is one thing, but haven't they heard of "e-mail"?

Nintendo and online... Sheesh

" God I hope they call it the Wii ii. "

I, for one, am excited.

Stupid of them confirming it early, they should have kept to mouth shut so it was a big announcement at E3. But as long as they don't show/leak anything else besides the fact it is real then I guess it's okay.

I liked the rumoured name of "Stream".  Sounds decent while continuing the joke.

/slow golfclap

Call it Puu.

" @niamahai: They said their successor is coming in 2012, so unless Skyward Sword get delayed...  "

I dont know what to think....i have mixed emotions. A part of me is giddy as fuck as a Nintendo fanboy, but theres another part of me that cant be bothered, just because i bought a Wii and it ended up gathering dust for years. Ive only literlaly played 5 whole games on the wii, the others i played were a joke. and most of these were first party Nintendo games.

next two years are gonna be exciting! microsoft and sony have to show something in 2012, or latest 2013. and i love watching unfold all that stuff over the course of time.

An Awesome E3 it will be,

the Wii sold 86 million units ?

Next round of consoles confirmed then.  There's no way MS and Sony don't have their successors already deep in progress.

Imagine if they had Battlefield 3 looking like the PC version.

Just imagine.

01.Net's Rumours

- Wii2 = "Project Café"

- Developer quotes: graphics capabilities "roughly equal to those of the Xbox 360", performance "over the Xbox 360, but just a notch".

- Custom IBM PowerPC CPU with three cores

- RAM: unknown. 01net speculates: It would be logical that it is a unified RAM, like the 360, with a minimum of 512 MB

- Graphics processor: AMD (ATI) - probably a series R700, with a shader (for managing the effects) more recent than the Xbox 360 (probably version 4.1).

- Controller has a 6" touch screen; 16:9, Single Touch, Sub HD with a resolution of ~800 x 500

- A front-facing camera

- Standard set of buttons (D-Pad, two bumpers, two triggers (4 face buttons?) & IR lights (like a sensor bar)

- Wireless streaming of video content to controllers w/o need for TV.

- Controllers are clients, all processing is done on the console then streamed in HQ with no lag

- Another Surprise feature

- To be revealed at E3

- Launch in June 2012

- Rockstar among 1st to recieve SDK's and have a game planned

- Controller Mockup closest to actual controller according to their source:

It's exciting to see Nintendo getting into the hardcore market again, but I just can't help feeling that three consoles fighting for the exact same market is a little much. It could become another GameCube or Dreamcast. But then again, if they do something really cool and unique that people want, it could do really well.

Now I want coffee.

from all the pic's I've seen it looks like an SDK hardrive with a classic controller. The controller has an LED on it. I'm so excited already but I'm really hoping it'll be at PAX.

Super Smash Bros + hopefully good online + HD = excited me

I'm actually surprised they didn't announce this before the leaks happened. That's what they did with the 3DS. They put out a press release basically saying "Yo, we're doing this thing, we'll show it off at E3" about 6 months before it was officially unveiled, just to beat the inevitable leaks. It seems far better than Sony's strategy which seems to be to deny everything until they officially unveil it. Leaks are going to happen, you might as well stick out a press release or something making it official.

Let the official rumors and speculation begin!

somewhat interested in this.
