Rumor: Wii 2 Specs Leaked Blu-Ray enabled and 1080p support?

Rumor: Wii 2 Specs Leaked Blu-Ray enabled and 1080p support?

According to information supposedly leaked on www.logic-sunrise.com the "Wii 2" will include Blu-Ray support to combat piracy; as such it will also support 1080p for games and movies.

Some further details about the rumoured Wii 2 (translated from French)

 • The Wii 2 system will feature a Blu-Ray drive with a secondary aim of stopping piracy.

 • 1080P and lower resolutions will be supported, for blu-ray movies and games.

 • The release date is scheduled for third quarter of 2010.

 • The release will be worldwide and on the same day for all countries.

 • A scheme will be available in which it is possible to trade in the original Wii for a cheaper price for the new Wii 2.


At this stage the successor to the Wii has been rumoured numerous times. Nintendo are yet to even hint that they are preparing to announce their next console.

Im writing this as a rumor since Nintendo havent officially confirmed this yet (the America and the Japan Nintendo). Since Japan and the American Nintendo are the main.

Afterall it WAS leaked from a nintendo website so it should be true but yeh, it should be revealed reeeeallll soon

Nintendo wants to make a official worldwide announcement a month before the Wii 2 will be launched.


Now that is just PATHETHIC!!!

admins- i was kinda in a rush when i wrote this so if i have made any error plz edit it for me and it was late when i wrote this.

well i'm hoping that:
1. Original wii games still work
2. The [first] Wii trade in gives quite a large percentage off

If it isn't backwards compatible, I will be pretty damn dissapointed.

That says, if this means we get a new Smash Bros, with K.Rool, Little Mac, Black Shadow and all the other characters that deserve to be in, sign me up!

Wait, something just occured to me, what if Galaxy 2 is only for this new Wii...

SMG2 will probably be the consoles last swan song. Like Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario.

Hmmm I doubtthat they'll release it on the same day world wide. That right there should say that it isn't real.

I wouldn't trade in my current Wii for the new one, no fricken way. I'd just buy the new one at full price.

Kinda sounds like an identical PS3..if it is true..I hope they add more features to make it truly Nintendo style and to actually make it next gen and not this one.

Here's a new rumour to start spreading around. More information will be leaked soon and it is 100% true.

* Nintendo's next system will allow users to control their games with thoughts from their brain.

* The games will be displayed at 2160p resolution and it will include a built in 300 terrabyte harddrive.

* The console will be see through and invisible when viewed at different angles.

* Certain aspects of the games graphics will be hollogramed outside the TV into living rooms.

I wouldn't be surprised if this news eventually gets reposted here by some idiot in a couple months time.

He makes valid points for once. So read it. goes along the lines of, Nintendo wont make that move since the tech (blu-ray) is still very new and expensive, etc. So to dismiss someone like that is teh frail

Complete crap . . . seriously a french person leaking the new nintendo specs?
1. Nintendo Japan would be designing the next gen of wii
2. Mr Miyamoto has said that he is focusing on the current wii's gameplay
3. He has also said it would be cost effective, blu ray = cost effective?

NEGATIVE.
1. Just because japan designs it, doesnt mean the branches dont know **** about it.
2. Iwata said **** about having no wii sports 2..bang Wii Sports Resort. Miyamoto says alot of things
3. This is a valid point.

1. It hasnt even been confirmed that its even being built so why would the french nintendo know all these specs of a non designed console.
2. Wii sports was a tech demo. Wii sports resort is a tech demo of M+. The difference about this is that people have actually been asking about 'wii 2' before its been confirmed. As u said Wii Sports: Resort was unexpected.
3. why thankyou

complete and utter crap for a few reasons:

2. blu-ray, seriously? I'm forking out enough money for the games as it is, i don't wanna be forking out money for blu-ray movies (although, if it was a blu-ray/DVD player, i might think about it)
3. Unless they can import the data from my current wii to this 'wii2' i'm not buying

I'm calling BS on this.

The 360 hasn't even licensed blu-ray and can't game at 1080p (most games are 720p) yet you think Nintendo will?

Hey guess what - if you add a blu-ray player and 1080p support your going to need a mighty powerful processor to go with that. Then you gonna need some phat ram and an HD.

Why not just call it the PS3 while you are at it...

They built an empire on cheap components and GAMEPLAY.

The wii2 (wiiHD) will be 720P and use current gen components and will spec out similar to a 360.
And will have some crazy motion controller/motion camera action.

probably.

I dont go gaga over rumours like this anyway.
I also dont have much time for self appointed know-it-alls like Patcher. He feeds on rumour and speculation like some kind of Prophetic parasite. Still, i guess he deserves some sort of credit for making a career out of it.

You sir, are a bigger moron then the original thread poster. 2160p, if even possible at all, is not cleared as a current gen television resolution standard. No console at this point in time and at least the next few years will be able to support it. And in the days where 2TB drives are just being released, where in that cavernous ass will they possibly be able to pull a 300TB drive from??

See through I'll believe, but invisible? Are you high?
