Nintendo's Iwata confirms that Wii's successor will "surprise" customers

[madstarr]

Miyamoto said that 3D wasn't a "must-have" forr the Wii successor.

This is what I was thinking, 7th gen consoles are pretty much split like this:

-Consoles with new ways of playing, and filled with fun with few hardcore games:
Wii.

-Consoles with same playing archetecture, filled with hardcore games and major graphics:
Xbox 360
Playstation 3

Maybe what Nintendo's next plan might be, is a combination of both!

-New ways of playing(Wiimote-ish no doubt)
-keeping loads of fun games and casual titles with excellent 1st party games

But also adding

-Major graphics improvements
-More variety types of games
-Better Online while still keeping it free
-presenting a controller similar to the Gamecubes controller for those motion-control haters to use on ANY game
-HD resolutions

That would certainly make it the console of a lifetime!

As long as Nintendo don't jump on the pathetic bandwagon of certain types of casual gaming (stares at Farmville), I'm all up for whatever comes up. Nintendo need fresher ideas for many of their 1st party franchises, though (but reviving Kid Icarus was probably a great idea).

About the Eyes, NO WAY. Tell me, how would you throw fireballs? (probs digressing, but Nintendo had the Virtual Boy flop, so they won't repeat anything like that for development)

Yea they need to have some new great franchises step up, one thing about the Wii is there hasn't been any new fresh games that sound like they could be turned into a great series.

Chances are this'll be the Wii all over again. New gimmick, sells a lot then get's hundreds of awful games and a dozen really good ones.

Hmm... Maybe they might return to nostaglic graphics, but that is very unlikely. Probably there's going to be a new franchise. The word "surprise" gives me a clue. It probably will have to do with feelings.

Feelings? What does a console have to do with feelings?  :

You never know with all the motion control stuff going on.

I found an article saying that the successor of the Wii might possibly feature Blu-ray. That would help Nintendo with the piracy, but they might be adding HD as well, which they should

Interesting. You think you should post that on Flaming Controller? =P

Yeah....I should. =P

Interesting. We might be using more motion control, but not EYES. Eyes would hurt if used for a period of time. I hope they either stick with motion control or go back to having a controller.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

They better go back to the controller, I mean, it's really fun playing with a motion control, but after a while, I'm like tired. I think they should make the two for players that like playing one way or the other.

...and I hope GCN game will be playable like before.

It's probably going to be similar to the Wii if they're going for backwards compatibility.

The Wii had backward compatibility to the GC and it's nothing close to the GC.

I think the new Nintendo console may have nostalgic controls (GCN like) as well as the default controls. And it might be compatible with Nintendo Wii games.

And GCN game playable, it's not going to happen, because the GCN is outdated. But it still has Mario Party 7, which is the most recent sucessful Mario Party Game.

THISSSSSSSSSSS

No seriously, this is a good idea. =P Though motion controls might be a little harder to do, since you need the sensor bar and crap. =P

If they use disks again then GCN backward compatibility could work.

Mario Party 8 was the most recent successful Mario Party sales wise since it sold over 5 million copies or so.

And what is GCN supposed to stand for? Gamecube Nintendo?

 

[madstarr]

^  MP8 sold about 7.5 million

And if a person has Gamecube games, wouldn't it be logical for that person to already have a GCN or even a Wii? So what would be the point of having GCN games compatible in Wii's successor?
