yeah, 10 pages of "prolly BS but..." and i got inspired.
that said: yeah, 360 tech is old, especially for PC kids hoping nintendo was somehow gonna go 1080p at 60 FPS or something, but you're telling me a nintendo console @ 720p with a real attempt at online (let's go nuts and say more classic controller integration to bring more devs around, while we're at it) wouldnt interest you? fuck outta here; go check the dolphin/wii emulation thread. even Wind Waker at 720p is fucking lovely.

I just wanna say, the other rumor that gameblog posted on the same day is almost confirmed now (Rez 2 is coming at E3, see http://www.secondapps.com/neogaf/showthread.php?t=397937&page=1). I don't wanna jump into conclusions, it doesn't mean Wii HiFi is real, but still, it gives them a little bit of credibility. So let's wait and see.

I like the sound of it. Wii HiFi got my vote but they'll probably only mention it/give some very basic informations about it. The highlight of the show will be the 3DS.
Well Gameblog is written by some of the oldest and most respected people in the French videogame journalism community, but it has been some time now that they have sink in a bad habit of tabloid-like news, and reporting rumors, that I even suspect are reported right from GAF.
Yeah, strangely enough some of their most recent news about rumors just poped-up like 12 hours / a day before on GAF and you could find some remarks in those news that were kind of the exact translation of some of the user's comments from this forum ...
It seems this time that it's GAF that is late to the party
but considering their recent history I'm seriously worried about the last inch of credibility they still have ...

Mr. Community
My vote goes to Wii+.
Gameblog is very close to many french developpers, David Cage (Fahrenheit/Indigo prophecy, Heavy rain...) for instance has a blog on their site and comes to their podcasts.
They get many insights from these french developpers and most of them are true, so I tend to believe this rumor!
I hate the name though...

I would not be suprised by a new Wii next year, with just these few infos this year. With Move and Natal, MS and Sony are tied not to release anything soon, so Nintendo would be basically free next year after the 3DS this year.
As for the announcement, Wii first infos was only "looks loke 3DVD together, can play old game, is very quiet", so do not expect anything soon. Maybe, the new controller, or whatever at TGS or GDC, full reveal next year.

I think it would have been too much, and the Wii still has plenty of life left.

Probably locked it back up in the warehouse after they finished laughing at Microsoft's conference.
The other rumor they posted on the same day was 100% correct (Rez 2): they had the final name (child of Eden), the concept line (spiritual successor), the editor (ubi), the change in camera (1st person), the format (ps3 360), the presentation at ubisoft's conference. There really was someone who spilled all the details to them. So if they say that some developers are working on the new wii, that online will be important, (...), I believe them. Whoever leaked the info was clearly wrong about the announcement at e3 though...

I wouldn't doubt that their next console is in development. Wii will be 5 years old in a few months, and we got the successor to the DS after it was 6 years old.
So yeah, probably late next year.

I guess that was the last of their credibility it seems, a shame that the console would have been nice.

No it wouldn't. All such a console would do for Nintendo is allow them to get in on a lot of the big third party games. The games aren't going to be disappear suddenly on ps360, owners aren't going to trash their systems for the brand new Wii. And it remains to be seen how smooth Nintendo's online network would work for their new system. This is a big part of why people are getting ps3/360 over wii, more so than graphics IMO.
