Tons of rumors (more likely then NvC/Nintendo vs Capcom) have began that the Wii HD will be Nintendo's successor console:

Dammit, just when I get an Xbox <_<

Oh well, it'll take a while for the price to go down and the third-party library to improve, so I guess it's worth waiting.

I doubt it'll be called Wii HD of all things, but it will probably be announced/teased at this E3, if not announced at the next TGS or E3 2012.

Awesome! I hope the rumoured "Wii HD" exists because I really want the next generation of consoles to arrive. It must live up to a lot of expectations amidst such a strong gaming world, though.

This sounds like an excellent console. I hope the rumors about it having graphics comparable to the Xbox 360 and PS3 are true. Nintendo has great ideas for their games and consoles, but all they need now is a great graphics engine as well.

They're a bit late to try and compete with the 360 and PS3 in terms of graphics, don't you think?

I wonder how Nintendo will officially announce the "WiiHD", with all the witty ways they have.
Oh Regi, how I loved seeing you get sucked into a 3DS!

Nintendo has stated their next console won't be until 2012/2013, which is the expected launch for the next-gen home console cycle.

How "HD" are the three current consoles anywho? I thought the Wii had 480p, but I wasn't sure if the other two were 720 or 1080.

It's also going to have these unique controllers.

"Tha Woi Aech-duee".

That alone gave me little hope of validity.

"Hay guise, jast cahm awn daoun ta mah noo weeb-blag sa Ah caen git latsa troiffic, sa Ah ceen bay poupulah :D"

That's all I heard, and that's all I can hear from this video. "Spahkulasheen" and "Rooumahs" are not uncommon from Nintendo, those secretive *******s. But they'll tell us the rumors, not some Aussie tween in a stripey beanie advertising his new blog.

According to IGN this could be revealed next Tuesday at an investors confrence.

I've heard that it's codename is Project Café, and it's going to have a controller with a 6-inch screen built-in to it, along with all the buttons you find on a DS. I've also heard it'll be in HD and play Blu-Rays.

And the Wii's component cable only renders 480p rather than 480i, that's the best the Wii can do. he Xbox 360 can display in 1080p with an HDMI cable, as can the PS3, but the PS3 has a more powerful graphics card so it has the potential to look better than the 360.

I hear from an industry insider that the Wii 2 will come out in the next year. Apparently they haven't official announced it yet, though.
