With the huge success for the Wii it seems like they need to put motion controls in their next console. But will Nintendo be forced to use it just because of the huge success and they don't want to let people down? Will they ever go back to a regular controller?

I think that unless they think of something even more innovative such as the video of Johnny Lee demonstrating the head tracking thing with the Wii Remote.

there will be no next Wii console.

They will inject images into our brains.

Im guessing motion controls will be an option so that they can go backwards compatible, but im sure they'll have something new and awesome

Yes, why change a winning formula?  Also I don't think we'll see another console from Nintendo until late into the PS4/720 era.  Look at how many people are still buying PS2's nearly 9 years later.  They might be able to have that 10 years life span that Sony's always talking about.  Sure, Sony still produces PS2's but they did needed to release the PS3 halfway through its life.  Nintendo might not have to do that.

If they do, hopefully they work better. Maybe the MotionPlus will change everything. Maybe it will make me believe...

I kind of think Nintendo might try something completely out of left field with their next console. Something new and innovative once again. I'm not really sure what kind of direction they go, perhaps they'll stick with motion controls. It's hard to say. I think from my experience with my Wii, I'd rather go back to a normal gaming controller. Motion controllers just don't seem to have the necessary precision or responsiveness.

MKHavoc, it's also worth noting that Nintendo thinks they lost last-gen because they released their console last. Though, that definitely was not the reason, and considering the Wii came out a year after the 360, maybe they finally figured that out.

It'll have both IR and motion based capabilities, it's the perfect setup for any kind of game except conventional beat em ups that require a conventional pad. I can see why people dislike motion, though personally I think it adds to the experience when done right, even prior to the motion plus add-on, but IR functions own regardless. There's no way they'll be ditching that.

"The next nintendo console is just a Wii remote add-on that transmits a signal to your Wii to make all your games run 720p! That or 3D-Glasses."

Obviously. They're not going to go go back to basics, when motion controls have proved so popular.

The real question, will microsoft and sony adopt motion controls? That's a more tricky one to answer.

In answer to the question of the topic, certainly, but I expect Nintendo will add yet again to the array of control options in a new way also.

If they don't use motion controls it will seem like a step back, so they are forced to use motion controls.

I'm in the camp that says the Wii is selling in such ungodly large numbers that Nintendo has no need to come out with a new console anytime soon. Even if the sales were to drop off considerably they would still be in better financial condition than their two chief competitor's gaming divisions.

I also agree that motion controls are really a no-brainer for their next platform when it does come around. They will have had this entire generation to refine the motion controls to a fine edge. The only thing they really need to do is add graphical muscle so that more developers will bring big budget titles to it.

As for Microsoft or Sony adopting motion controls I don't see it happening. After the miserable failure of the Sixaxis (we do remember Lair don't we) they both seem to have left it behind. The Wii is in a completely different world than the 360 and PS3.

I think the next wii will in fact have motion controls, but theyll probably have a built in hard drive, built in wii motion plus, and a more HD capable system...
