Depends. I might sell one of my consoles for it but now my aim is at the 3DS.

No, they will not work well on the gamepad. Motion controls have place in gaming

LastRambo341

rubbish.. there is barely anything motion controls can do that gamepads cant do...and better.

Its just like saying there is no need to move forward to expensive HD graphics when we have SD graphics that look good. As a Wii owner for 4 years, I know what I'm talking about. You? Well you either don't have one or haven't fully played it enough to know anything about it

Your logic is flawed. SD to HD is a natural evolution that does not alter anything negatively at all. Motion controls require a completely different style of play and a different approach to gaming in general. MC is not evolutionary.

I'm glad you like it but your blindness to it's failings as well as it's positives does you a disservice.

I'll sell my Wii, if the Super Wii has backwards compatibility. I'll spend the money on booze/ciggarets, and i'll but the Super Wii from the money i'll hopefully save (dunno though, booze is holy.. )

I was disappointed with the Wii's third party support but I was happy with the quality of games on the system so if it gets the third party support then I will get it.

i dont know what graphics has to do with anything... graphics is just a visual thing... motion controls is a gameplay thing and trust me ive played enough of the wii to realize that the whole motion controls was a novelty. Its just not as responsive as a gamepad.. u dont have as much control for what actions you want to do as you would with a gamepad.

Absolutely as long as I can afford it. If rumors are true, Nintendo is basically fixing everything that people complained about the Wii. What's the excuse to not get one now?

I never bought a wii, but this new console is almost a sure buy. Nintendo deserves the support, they are the only true game company around.

You miss the point. Motion controls don't work well for everything, not by a long shot. This is what you don't seem to see. Some people like games that don't work well with motion control. Those people don't want to see motion control as standard because it will mean the death of those game types as we know them.

Nothing Ninty, MS or Sony has shown tells me that INEED motion control in my gaming life and certainly not as the only way to game. As I said before, and for the last time, it has it's placeand can give us some new game types that are funbut if the new console is focused completely on it again then I won't be buying.

Lets just end it now, if you can't see that point then I can't express it in any way that you will :(.

End it? It didn't even start yet ;) With motion controls becoming the full focus of the Wii, it made the console unique from the other consoles. It got them sales and games. Its not a weak "Me too" of a Ps3 and 360. Old-fashioned gamers should move on, stop being stuck in the past

The game library issues that has plagued ninty consoles for a very long time. Also, it's a bit difficult to get excited about mario 7 zillion and one.

Probably not at launch, but down the line after its library is appealing enough.

Yes. Wii hasn't had many games worth playing this year, but overall I've played many games on Wii that I loved, so I don't regret owning one.

No. I've been a lifelong Nintendo supporter and owned all their consoles. But I just can't do it anymore. I am fine with "gimicky" controllers. I am fine with their lack of concern for the latest and greatest graphics. I don't mind when they come out with silly disc ideas. And to a certain extent, I can even handle that they lack proper third party support for anyone over the age of 7 (for the most part).

The reason I don't plan on buying their next console is because of their own internal lack of innovation or original games. I loved Mario Galaxy. I loved both Twilight Princess and even Zelda Waterworld or whatever it was called. MY problem is that they keep releasing the exact same idea over and over with minimal changes. And while they are typically good games, I am still just as happy going back to Link to the Past and playing that again, or Mario World, etc. So what incentive is there for me to buy yet another console for yet another Mario or Zelda that will be 99% the same as all the others they've released but with one small gameplay tweak/feature?

There isn't any. So unless Nintendo joins the modern world and decides to give Zelda a story that changes and evolves and continues from game to game, or makes some revolutionary change to Mario like we saw from 2d to 3d...I'll just play the games I've already bought over again. They're still excellent and have held up over the decades.

I always buy everything so I'll be getting it one way or another. But I'll bide my time a lot more, getting it at launch for the sake of it would be stupid.

I don't own a Wii. But i will buy Wii 2 if its worth buying, by that i mean good/free online, same 3rd party support as the other 2, gtx580+ graphics, KB/Mouse support or a great controller (**** waggle!), new Nintendo IP's that aren't aimed at kids. If it does have all that i'll buy it day one no matter the price (has to be 500$ and under though).

Yes. I'm always looking forward to new iterations of Nintendo's 1st party and any exclusive games that Nintendo gets like No More Heroes.

Gimmicks aren't a bad thing

Yes, they are. When the Mouse came out, I thought to myself, "wtf, can I at least still use keyboard shortcuts?"

Yeah, eventually. But I'll probably wait since I still have a ton of games to get on other systems and a bunch of Wii ones to get and finish though. But I might get one sooner if there's enough good deals on their next console like the 3DS and its launch lineup got (tons of promotions). We'll see.
