Wii had to be what it was. If they made it more it would of cost more and they lose the price advantage they had and just straight up being in the range of toy to play with for casual people who just liked Wii Sports.
Could of Nintendo of even of made one at $300 while breaking even? They'd have to add $10 or whatever to the pack for free by including a standard Dual Analog pad. There are other things they would of needed to do on the run to be viable to segment that was likely to go 360/PS3. Not a good bet to try that strategy back in 2006.
Now/2012 is the time for Nintendo to try and Square that Circle of appealing to both. Their own experience plus Kinect and Move are helpful.

Dunno how reliable it is.

That was Nintendo's cover story. The intention for the Wii was to test the disruptive model. Since they did not want to invest heavily in a machine that could potentially fail catastrophically for trying something different, they offered a cheap machine. Now, one may say, but if they were really worried about succeeding, wouldn't a shitty system increase the odds of failure? Yes, but then again the risk was significantly lowered and they figured hey, if this works, this gimmick will have us rise into heaven, or fall into hell! They could give 3 shits about 3rd party companies and whether development was easy for them or not.

I think that's suppose to be "games not very far along" or something.
Some random thoughts...
What's really smart about Nintendo is that they release usually one game of their franchices for each platform to drive sales of it. They don't churn out annual sequels for the same platform like other companies, but instead they compel gamers to buy their platforms such as 3DS to get the next Mario Kart or Paper Mario game. This is very smart strategy to move game systems.
With this in mind, you can be %100 certain the next Wii will have the following system sellers:
2D Mario
3D Mario
Smash
Zelda
Mario Kart
Pokemon games
Animal Crossing
Mario Party
Probably a few others I'm missing.
I can see franchises such as Metroid, Kirby and Donkey Kong taking a long hiatus... I hope it doesn't but they are not really big system sellers.

Depending what is powering the the new system and how close it is to either the PS3 or most likely the Xbox 360 in design under the hood I wonder how easy it might be for versions of current games or games currently in development to be made for the new system?
Especially if some developers might have kits or equivalent kits of some kind at the moment. Why not prepare a new Nintendo system version and hold it for the launch if it's easy to do and there isn't any specific Nintendo programming to deal with. If Nintendo could get developers to do that and it doesn't cost much to make a Nintendo version (it would be the same version as the PS3/360 or maybe even a bit better) I wonder if they could very well push for a Fall 2011 launch. How possible does everyone think that is?
If this is the case then games shouldn't be a reason to push the launch further back. If the hardware could ready and games can be ported or adjusted to account for a new Nintendo system why not launch sooner.

If it shares architecture with the 360, games could be ported in a matter of weeks with little effort.
Oh lawd. This is getting out of control. GTA5 on a Nintendo console. *swoon*antonz said:
How long before these hopes are summarily dashed?
I have a new theory: The French are totally making all this stuff up just to see how far they can push it before we call their bluff. Why? Because they're French.

Next thing you know Skyrim is coming out with full motion controlled Sword and Melee fighting for this thing (at least give me a move option for it for now)

This is what Nintendo wants, though, right? The Wii was a smash hit for the casual market but Nintendo gave up a lot of money in the process by losing the hardcore market. If they are to get it back they need ports like GTA5. GTA5 on Super Wii being the superior version so to speak it should help move hardware and software sales in their favor.
If June 2012 is a target for GTA5 does this mean a first quarter release again for the new Nintendo console?

GTA 5 on Nintendo? bullshit. that can't happen. can it?
M74 said:
Wouldn't GTA5 be a given? I mean the series is no longer platform exclusive, I dont see why they wouldnt release it on the next Nintendo console if its already coming to the 360/PS3.
antonz said:
So were back to it being significantly more powerful again. That and the 2012 release jive pretty well with the rumors about it being powered by the Trinity.
Hopefully something beyond "we are annoucing the next console at E3" will be said at the briefing next week.

A name and maybe some screens would be the most we could hope for, really. They'll save the system itself for E3, along with any video. And we'll likely never get specs directly from Nintendo.

In anger or laughter?
I cannot see Rockstar not making GTA for PS3/360, considering the sales of GTA4 for them. So I cannot see how a multiplaftorm game will get people to jump to the Wii 2. If somehow they did what MS and Sony could not, and get an exclusive out of Nintendo, it could be interesting for Nintendo.

Surely they cannot wait until 2012 to release their next console? What, aside from Zelda, do they have for the Wii this year?
It's okay for MS to have sparse 1st party output because, unlike Nintendo, they are showered with constant 3rd party support.
If it IS 2012 then I hope it's early 2012.

The hell is a public gamer? I would think they have more public gamer than anyone, but apparently I'm missing something in its definition...
I don't know, if it's true that Pikmin 3 would be a Cafe game, I'd think that's probably the game that's been in development long enough that it would be given the playable treatment to really show off the benefits of the screen-controller and whatever other secrets they have in store. I mean, the famous "we're making Pikmin" line was from, what...3 years ago now? Even if it was just in the early planning phases then, I'd hope that's enough time to have something of substance to show. If not, I could see the Cafe launch being populated with a lot of really rushed tech demo-ish sort of stuff, and that's just not gonna cut it. If the goal is to entice people to jump ship to Cafe instead of waiting for Microsoft and Sony's next generation, they need to make a big splash early, content-wise. I think they understand this, which would be why they're supposedly shopping dev kits around early.antonz said:

They're just mixing rumours together. Relaying the IGN rumours, the 01net (and others) rumours about Rockstar etc.
Like, to be clear, 01net isn't saying anything about the launch timing being June 2012 or the 'significantly more powerful' bit which are just summarised from other sites (e.g. IGN).

I know GT5 would be cool on a Nintendo console and be huge for sales/hardcore gamers (not much of a fan to be honest though), but I think the most significant news is another report of significantly more power then the HD twins.
I just thought of something. We are probably going to see the first of Miyamoto's new water IP for Wii HD at E3!

It wouldn't be exclusive. Look at the rumored goal of the Super Wii: to make it easy to port Xbox 360 games. Thus GTA5 would be on PS3/360 but the Super Wii version would be a better version of the 360 game.
There is always the potential risk that most people with either the 360 or PS3 don't care about a better version of game they can already buy on a platform they own.

This is what we were saying last E3. Last E3 they announced both Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby: Epic Yarn.Phonomezer said:
This year (hopefully) we'll get Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story. I think we'll get another major franchise as well on the Wii and that will be that.

Oh my, you don't know how much I want this! I don't even care what console it comes for. I would totally buy a PS3 Move bundle just to play a Motion-Controlled Skyrim (added bonus being that I can play all the games I've been missing out on the Sony-side this gen).
Hopefully more info on Tower of Pandora, as well.AceBandage said:
Honestly if they touch on all of those and (I wish) toss a mention at a Last Story localization, I think that's already a fairly strong lineup for a console's Twilight years. Throw in more time dedicated to showing off 3DS software and throwing the covers off of Cafe, I don't think that Nintendo's E3 showing could be called lackluster at all unless Cafe turns out to be really unimpressive.
