Wii 2 specs leaked - QUAD CORE

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="Ballroompirate"]

No not really, I had a Wii 2 years ago and I'm glad I got rid of it. Don't get me wrong Wii had some good games and I mean some to it's full meaning, theres maybe a dozen games worth getting and so far theres been bigger gaps between good wii games coming out.

If Wii 2 can punch out some power, drop the motion crap cause honestly, RPGs and most genres don't do to well and feel un natural with motion controls, have a decent online community, I will love Nintendo forever.

The sad thing is pretty much 9/10 Wii games aren't appealing i'm not talking about me who thinks it, it's pretty much a proven fact that the majority of wii games don't do to well compared to 360,PC and PS3 games and people buy systems for guess what the games, that's why you see a higher trade/re sell rate for Wii's cause no one keeps them.

Nintendo for the Wii 2 needs to get off their *** and get their 3rd and 1st party support back.

They lost me at built in projector, which itself makes no sense... So I'm calling bogusdeadesa

Built in projector is BS, but who knows what they ment - its parts of information that were interpreted many times and maybe some parts lost somwhere in the process.

I'll have to agree with the casual market not having a clue about HD. I know plenty of people with HDTV's that don't know the first thing about them. They'll have their devices all hooked up with standard 3 prong RCA style composite cables and since it look better than their old SDTV that is fine to them. Every single person I know that owns a Wii doesn't own a PS3 or XBOX360 and not one of them has their Wii hooked up with a component cable (they don't even know what 480p is). Even worse is out of all my hardcore gamer friends guess what, I'm the only one with a Wii.

It is hard to say what the casual market will do when it comes to a next gen Wii, my guess is they'll ignore it if it is basically the same idea as the Wii, but with better graphics (that option already exists and its a PS3 with a Move). If they're isn't anything revolutionary about the new system and it is behind whatever the competition releases in graphics it may well be shunned by both the casuals and the hardcore gamers. Nintendo won this gen for sure in sales, but they may have dug themselves into a hole for the long term.

There is no denying that the Wii for now is all but dead for development towards real gamers. Take a look at the sales numbers for most of the Wii games that have gotten good reviews over the last2-3 years and you'll get what I'm saying. They are few and far between and when they do come out noone buys them because the gamers mostly ignore the system and the causal will never hear about it or just don't care.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"] There is a difference between good games and games that are not appealing to you. You said that Wii doesn't have good games and now you do? Drop the motion control and stick to the same dated gamepad? Uh, no thanks. Motion controls will still go.LastRambo341

* It's not hard to see what platform the majority of people play/enjoy, Wii is dead last. Why do you think you can get a used Wii for $120? yet 360 and PS3 are still well over $200.

* Again if you compare the quality of Wii,PC,PS3 and 360 games, all of them except the Wii sell better.

* I did do research, or I must have not looked through 37 pages of Wii games on gamestop.com.

It's nothing new that Nintendo needs to rethink how they do video games, they are getting smoked by Sony and Microsoft in the 3rd and 1st party games. They need to reach out to the developers and show them that the Wii 2 is a system that they can make and profit from software/games.

You take a look at what made the Snes and N64 successful and that was the games.

Seriosly dude! Tell me one quality game that doesn't touch any of the SMG games besides GTAIV. The SMG series has proven that if a dev tries they can producevery high qualitiy games on the system. Most 3rd party developers/publishers don't view it this.They think they can do half the work on a Wii game there producing and get rewarded withloads of money and sales which usually makes them rely on party type games. fitness games, ports and shovelware for the easy money and not a game that can appeal to all groups involved easily.Thisis the typical Wii development patternsome games like the SMG series, DKC Returns and morebroke and they got bought by some of the hardcore and some of the casuals.

I hope its not a stupid Quad Core ARM. That would be dumb.

well I'd hope they have a quad anything less is a total embarrassment. quads are now dirt cheap and 8 core cpus are just around the corner. Duals are now reserved for nothing but budget systems. More importantly will they put in a few gigs of ram, anything less than 2gb is a joke. imprezawrx500

You do realize that a system with less than 1gig of ram could perform better than a PC running a game in Windows with 2 gigs of ram.

LOL, I only have a web browser up and My system is using 1.7 gigs of RAM.

Do you know the fact that there is a giant optimization difference betwen the games on consoles, and games on the PC?

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"] As in that they were the latest Nintendo consoles to be last place. Shows that power doesn't matter, as evident from the Ps3 sales.LastRambo341

Power matter to devs, power matters to gamers that want new experiences, sales matter to publishers.

Do you think OoT time could be done on the SNES, don't you think it was right for Nintendo to push for technology and make such revolutionary games happen?

Or don't you think making such a great game was a good idea, and should have waited another 5 years for the level of hardware required to become redundant? Imagine where we would be now

There is nothing like the N64 or Gamecube's game design success on the Wii, sales success is something else entirely, unless you really do think COD is amazing just for selling so well. You can't have it both ways. Consumers do not actively seek to buy the weakest hardware on the market either.

If the Wii 2 really is a powerful beast, with great games that exploit this power, I suppose you will be the first person to bash it then? I really don't think you know what you are talking about so we're pretty much done here.

Go Nintendo, welcome back to the good old days

The SNES had Link to the Past, considered by many the best Zelda game ever, so yeah, power doesn't matter.

did I say that? the wii is a great console, with tons of outstanding exclusives but being underpowered was a mistake, plain and simple.

EDIT: the wii is actually the second best console if you ask me.

using sales to claim superiority is asinine. it makes you seem like you have no opinion, and just use other's to make claims of superiority.

How legit is this source? I know Nintendo will have to move forward soon, but using a Quad-Core? PC games these days barely use Duo-Core.

FireEmblem_Man

lol... nintendo moving away from the gamecube/3ds/wii graphics level.... dont make me laugh.campzor

I would be suprised if the Wii 2 used a dual core never mind quad.:lol:

EddieTheHead84

Ughh. The Wii and it's gimmick has short legs, so here's Nintendo rushing out another system with probably another half baked gimmick. That will give Nintendo another 2-3 years of shelf life before having to rush out another one :roll:BodyElite

Built-in projector :lol: :lol:

That is a terrible idea. The Wii 2 would be too expensive unless the projector is complete rubbish. A desktop level quad-core would further increase costs! I'm going to label this rumour as BS for now...

quadcores are relatively cheap on the consumer level never mind at a manufacturer's cost. Im just hoping its not an ARM.

You're joking right? Video games exist to make money. How they sell directly correlates to the content of the games we get :|

Probably some in-order garbage CPU. I mean the 360 has a tri-core but it's rubbish... :lol:

We won't be seeing anything comparable to an i5 or even a Phenom II in the next gen consoles. I'm sure of that.

Ughh. The Wii and it's gimmick has short legs, so here's Nintendo rushing out another system with probably another half baked gimmick. That will give Nintendo another 2-3 years of shelf life before having to rush out another one :roll:BodyElite

Rushing? Hey now, the Wii isnt the one with the hightest fail rate:roll:

Plus this is just a rumor, besides, even if this rumor is true, we probably wont see this "Wii 2" for another 1 and a half to 2 years from now.

I dont know about everyone else, but its the gimicks of game consoles that I love the most, with the Wii, its the motion controls.
