Your Wii 2/HD wants?

1. Up to1080p HD resolution

2. Motion Plus installed in the controller.

3. Wii and Gamecube game playback.

4. Hardrive or large storage device like SDHC 32gb.

5. No friend codes

6.1 Online profile signed in when you turn on your Wii

7. DLC

8. Demos

9. Bigger Wiiware games

10. Gamecube games on the VC

11. Nunchuk wirelessly connected

12. Smoother online

13. A Mic included

14. HDMI+Component cable support

15. Online group chat that can carry into game (Xbox Live Parties)

16. Dolby Digital 5.1 support (if it makes it much more expensive, then I would just leave it)

17. BlueRay (only if it makes it not too expensive)

18. Better Wii-Mote Mic sound quality

Now I know all of these probably won't be included, but these are things that I thinkit would be nice to have this on the Wii 2/HD.

You list sounds like you just combined all the current consoles into one. :lol:

I want it to not come out until 2014.

why do i keep coming into the threads? it's like continuing to put your hand on a hot stove when you know it's going to burn everytime! on topic, i'm sure we all want similar things.

I would find it pretty funny if Nintendo went back to the gamepad, so they could (possibly) get more people to buy their console. That would screw Sony and Microsfot over since their going Motion based as well. But then again, knowing Nintendo their going to try to reveolutionize the controller again, and make us play games differently, yet again.
Other then having the gamepad back, I would like HD, DVD support, at least 30 GB of memory and the loss of friend codes.

Has anyone thought of this? How about a graphics upgrade for the "Wii 1" from Ati (since they did the graphics for the wii). It would plug into both rear USB 2 ports which each exchange data @ 480 MegaBytes per second. Basically it would be like a custom Ati Video card that, instead of being thin and long and bare silicone like a computer graphics card, would instead look kinda like a Wii remote shaped piece of plastic with two usb prongs on one end. It would ugrade the graphics power of the console allowing for 1080p, Directx 10 or 11 games, HD internet browsing and it could also have built in storage of like 100GBs.

If you do not think that Nintendo would go this route then here is a picture to get you thinking otherwise. Back in the late 90's when games on discs were the big thing, Nintendo released the 64 DD(disk drive). They did this so that they could have better graphics for future 64 games. But Nintendo chickened out and only sold 15,000 units before canceling production.

1) HD support (kind of a given)

2) Improved motion controls

3) more buttons on remote and nunchuck

4) MUCH BETTER ONLINE IN EVERY ASPECT

5) HD audio support (DTS-HD, DD-HD)

6) better voice chat

7) BETTER SELECTION AND VARIETY OF GAMES WITH NO ONE YEAR DROUGHT

8 ) 300gb harddrive

9) blu-ray (or Ninty's own format that can hold around the same amount of content)

10) considerably better third party support

I want a 2011 release date.

How about the Wii 2 having SD card gaming since SDHC cards are currently at 32GBytes size and can be manufactured up to 128GBytes. Just think, no more disk reading loading times and then they could release Movies on SDHC card for playback in the Nintendo consoles and on sdhc readers on PCs. I don't know about you guys but I am plain sick of scratched movie and game discs. think how little room you would ned to store your entire movie and game collection if they were SDHC card format!

Obviously you dont have a 18 inch monitor at 1600 by 1200 resolution. when you do you will see that my previous typing size is just right. Let me guess, you cant even see gamespots advertisements on eirther side of their main page, right?

Nintendo has a long wile before they release it the because Sony is still loosing money from it. Why would a gaming console need a hard drive?

He does have a point. If anything, flash memory is a better format for consoles. Less moving parts = better longevity. I think we all want our consoles to last at least a little over a decade.

i say we dont have a wii 2 and go back to normal controls

motion controls are going to kill gaming

why would i want to get up and waggle my arms and crap after 4 hours of football (no joke this was in the summer and it was stupid)

so i would pick the game with the least ammount ofmotion control cause motion controls are stupid

lets just go back to normal controls and be fat and lazy

First of all my Obama sig is satirical because his policies are TEH SUX, but thank you for complementing my sig. I see no evidence that hard drives will be standard on every console, no handheld has a hard drive and there are other ways to save data than a hard drive.

First off if the Wand and Natal catch on, believe me there will a multi-plat capable Wii in 2011 to capitalise if the casual market flirts with those other consoles

on topic:

Lets look at nintendo's approach usually, they may aim a little low with specs but enuff to get current HD ports, probably a single core CPU

i'd say its probable: 2.9Ghz Intel CPU, 550Mhz ATI GPU, 256MB system RAM, 16GB SSD, WiFi, DVD Drive, one friend code per user ID on a console, Motion plus built in, SDHC slot and for $250 launch or $200

or what i'd want to see: QuadCore 3.0Ghz CPU, 1200Ghz GPU, 2GB system RAM, 64GB SSD, WiFi, BR drive, etc for $300-$350

You have no evidence for either of your statements. Why would Nintendo purposely pay royalties to Sony?

darth-pshycosis can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think 'multi-plat capable' means a console that can play other console's games, but a console that is comparable enough with the other consoles to get more multi-platform games.

aransom

If we are using your definition the Wii is already "multi-plat capable" because it has the potential of getting another (aka. more) multi-platform games.

A low specs game could be made for the 360 and PS3 and then be ported to the Wii. It would also be nice if Sony gave away their Blu-ray players completely free since they are taking a huge loss from them anyways.

The Wii's specs are so far beneath the 360 and PS3 that a lot of games either don't come to the Wii, or the Wii gets a stripped-down version. It would be nice, next generation, that when you read a review it no longer says, "you get X Y and Z on the PS3 and 360, you only get X on the Wii."

aransom

It actually depends on the type of game and how much the developers put into it. Brown shooters with long draw distances and stuff like that probably won't work on the Wii and will have to be stripped down. However, the first batch of music games, for example, were cheap PS2 ports. Now, you get almost the exact same deal as the HD consoles.

If developers do their best, you'll get a pretty good experience. And some games have been improving drastically while some developers who take the Wii seriously have been getting to know the hardware. There's a clear difference between, say, The Umbrella Chronicles and the Darkside Chronicles. That obviously means that what we saw on the Umbrella Chronicles is NOT the best that can be squeezed from the little white box. And, for all we know, Dardside Chronicles isn't the best the Wii can do either.

Also, I wouldn't mind if developers took a completely different route with multiplatforms on the Wii and, instead of trying to work with realistic graphics, gave the Wii version a completely different look. Kind of like what EA did with Madden 10. The Wii gives developers quite a lot of tools if they want to go with unrealistic but still good looking graphics.

but the costs are so much higher for those consoles, and it is extremely inconvient for devs to focus on a game that can be released on three platforms with the same userbase numbers as wii. reasons why Valve, IW, iD, and others won't touch the Wii with a 10 foot pole.

and the one option in my original post with BR, it was an ideal situation. i said the one that was likely to happen had DVD and not bR, and the example i provided with BR was a not likely, but want i'd want situation. i know it won't have BR. Perfect World situation

You simply can't pull of multiplat games on wii, you have to take a lot of time and build engines specifically for wii, just as treyarch did with COD4 engine on wii, it takes time, and Activision has the money to do that, a lot of other devs wont

Now do they focus on developing a game with roughly the same hardware, and easy to make it for 2 consoles with 50 million users, and PC, or just a console they'd have to entirely redesign the game for a userbase of 50 million only on one console?

I mean for *****s sake the Wii uses a single core 729Mhz CPU and the PS3 uses a 8 core 3.2Ghz CPU!

and like i said in SW, i think it will happen in 2011 due to well,.... nintendo always replaces their home console every 5 year even when they were the market leader, just like they always do to their handhelds (replacing them while still market leader and having life left in predecessors)

Better hardcore games

In a perfect world situation Nintendo would develop a brand new and better format.

Programming always takes time unless you have a program that does that for you but still you have to wait for it to compile and run.

Now do they focus on developing a game with roughly the same hardware, and easy to make it for 2 consoles with 50 million users, and PC, or just a console they'd have to entirely redesign the game for a userbase of 50 million only on one console?

Having 2 consoles that have exactly the same games is just boring. I am pretty sure Wii gams can still be ported to the PC.

There is no news and no evidence. If Nintendo doesn't release another handheld console before the end of the month you will be disproved and there is no news about a new handheld console.
