Subject: Wii 2? (a.k.a. Nintendo is at it again) Sun Jun 05, 2011 1:57 am
I heard something about this on the MPN, so I searched it on Google and found out about a possible Wii 2.
This is what I found: http://wii.ign.com/articles/113/1135489p1.html
So apparently, Nintendo is planning to venture into the next generation of gaming before everyone else. A few may remember back when the Gamecube was first created, and soon after were the PS2 and X-box. Then it was the Wii, and soon after came PS3 and X-box 360. Now I suppose we're into the next generation.
What do we already know about Wii 2? Well, for starters, it's probably not going to be called Wii 2. That's just the name we came up with for it. But we do know that the graphics will be more powerful than those of the PS3 and Xbox 360. We also know that they're not using the weird "remote" contro that they used for Wii. They're going to go with a standard controller instead, much like the Gamecube controller, except with the functionality of a Wii remote. (note: the picture provided on the website is just a rendition of the controller based on provided details) We also know that the system will support Wii games as well as Gamecube games.
What does this mean for us? Well, I'd love to see another Smash Bros game, hopefully better than Brawl. Also, as stated in the comments, I'd really like a good Star Fox game. Assault was pretty good except for the on-foot missions. Legend of Zelda is all good. The quality of Mario games has been degrading ever since Sunshine, but I'm still holding out for one as good as Super Mario World. That was their real peak.
Discuss.

Um.. Hate to say but Star Fox Command is the last Star Fox game they're ever going to make.
As for the new wii, I'm not sure what to think.

A controller with a touch screen? ...As if the Wii remotes aren't expensive enough already.
Well, I guess it's not long 'till E3 rolls around, so we shall see...

Conversation with someone on wii 2:
"Hey, Frostie, Nintendo is making a wii 2. It has a touch screen."
Me: "That sounds stupid."
"Touch screen wii motes.."
Me: "Still sounds kind of stupid."

If you look at the endings (I really hate that it has 8 or 9 different endings, and seems so out of character) it seems they rushed to finish the series:
I am just as mad as you are.

I knew about the Wii2 before you guys did.
But I wasn't aware about Nintendo not making any more Starfox games. o___O

EDIT: They've also ended SSB.

I have a feeling that making a conclusive finale isn't enough to stop Nintendo from making more games in a series -- they just have to position the new ones further back in the series' timeline.
As for SSB, what brought you to that conclusion?

Yeah, don't they usually make a new SSB every time a new console comes out?

Well.. I got to that conclusion because you know, they killed the all evil and poor master and died, they came together to stop the worlds from being destroyed and most of them got along better so yeah.
As for Starfox, I think maybe a spin off or something would fit because basically, the main characters are finished with their timeline. (Which I disapprove.)
SSB will always be my favorite fighting game.

Uh Frostie? Just because Master Hand looked like he died (I acually thought he was put into a coma or something) Doesn't mean the series is going to end. ._.
Yeah, A spinoff would work REALLY Well...

In any case, I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't let a silly thing like logic get in the way of making more of da moniez out of their franchises.

*Agrees with Delta*
Besides, you know what happened to Sony (I STILL think Anonymous isn't responsible) What makes you think that it wouldn't happen again if the gamers got upset?

True dat. But the entire Metroid series is just proof that they can position new games in different parts of the series' timeline. Starfox included.
Don't jump to conclusions, Forstie. Just because a game has an epic ending doesn't mean that they can't make any more. You almost gave me a heart attack there.
Edit: also... it's "other m" not "double m"

Speaking of games people stopped making,
You know what game Sega SHOULD work on? Space Channel 5. Everyone knows that Sonic just isn't living up to expectations, so try remaking other games instead! Besides, I used to love that game for some reason.

Never heard of it.
They need to make Earthbound for DS. Nothing changed, just the exact same game with same sprites, same world, same story, everything the same, for DS. I really want to finish Earthbound, but my laptop is broke and that's the only computer I have it on. If you know any free emulators, tell me now.
