antonz said:Interesting. They could shrink this new system down a good deal with all the stuff they are removing.
Could be a way to help them gain some of the profit lost by the 3DS price cut.Marrshu said:They could. But what's the point?
This is certainly baffling, but that's Nintendo for ya...
"I just bought the new Wii, why do I have to buy a second one with the new controller?"Jocchan said:I see Nintendo is doing their best to differentiate their products.
Sony's fixing it by putting out a new PS3 revision with the inability to downgrade to an exploitable firmware. This would be a chance to fix their Wii like the 3DS. On the other hand, I don't really see how this solves any problem so late in the console's lifetime. And I want my homebrew.Marrshu said:You really think this is going to kill off homebrew? I mean that console's only unsecure at a fundamental level...
Marrshu said:They could. But what's the point? The system's already one of the smallest on the market

A Donkey Konga bongos equivalent has yet to be confirmed.

How did I miss that? Pretty cool.Nuclear Muffin said:Already announced for Wii U.

Nuclear Muffin said:The console is limited by the size of the DVD drive and is more or less as small as it could possibly get.
Few SD devices have HDMI..spons said:Lack of HDMI is a killer. I use my computer monitor for the 360 and PS3 yet some genius decided to cut off 5 cents a Wii by not including an HDMI port.
Kulock said:The latter would be pretty useless, unless they added an HDMI out.
CoffeeJanitor said:This is a fucking horrible idea, especially with the coming of Wii U.
Nintendo's marketing team has its hands full.
It doesn't seem like a big deal. You've got a budget Wii, classic Wii and a brand new console.CoffeeJanitor said:This is a fucking horrible idea, especially with the coming of Wii U.

The shipping box is still quite large. If they're making reductions like removing the bulky PSU or at least lowering the power requirements so that it can be part of the plug they could make savings on shipping costs.Marrshu said:They could.

I see what you're getting at, but they did it with the NES, and the SNES didn't seem to be affected, so yeah.CoffeeJanitor said:This is a fucking horrible idea, especially with the coming of Wii U.

Too bad HDMiKey is vaporware. Hasn't had an update in months even though it's 'in production'.soqquatto said:one can dream about adding an hdmi out AND an hdmi cable in the box. I don't have a wii and I sometimes think about getting one to play those three or four games that I'd love to.
Sweet... if GC is coming to virtual console for Wii U then regular Wii game should too... hopefully upconverted to progressive and shitBocoDragon said:How did I miss that? Pretty cool.
The beauty of Gamecube is that the game discs are maximum 1.4 GB each.. very downloadable!

The regular GameCube lost a digital output (for video I think?), and the N64, well...Why would you do that? said:Pretty surprised. This will be their first console revision since the SNES.
(Not including Panasonic Q)
Tenbatsu said:Interested to see if they are able to top Wii sleek design.
VOOK said:Useless without pics.
It would be silly if the Wii redesign has HDMI that upconverts but the Wii U has HDMI and won't do thatReckoner said:I would cry for HDMI upscalling on this, but that's obviously not gonna happen.
