According to multiple reports today, Nintendo will reveal a new console at E3 this coming June.

Game Informer first reported that the console is capable of running games at "HD resolutions." Our sources have said the the console is significantly more powerful than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that Nintendo's intent is to recapture the hardcore market. Another source said it is capable of 1080p resolutions.

Nintendo is reportedly showing the console to publishers to garner interest for a late 2012 launch.

Additional sources tell IGN that Nintendo will release a pre-announcement this month with a full reveal expected at E3 and that the console will be backwards compatible with current Wii software.

depending how this plays out, I may skip the Wii and go straight for this one.
 
'Wii 2' Codenamed 'Project Cafe':

New details have surfaced from yesterday's reports that Nintendo is set to unveil its newest console, codenamed "Project Cafe."

According to our sources, the new Nintendo controller will feature dual analog sticks in addition to standard d-pad and trigger buttons. It'll mirror a Gamecube controller in general function but not in specific form.

French website 01.net has published additional details (via Develop), that say the touch capable screen on the controller is 6 inches in size, but we were unable to confirm the accuracy of the report. Additional details about the console's hardware specs could also not be confirmed.

Players will actually be able to stream game content to the controller screen from the console. It's unclear at this time what type of content it will be, whether it's full games you can take with you on the go, mini-games or applications.

At E3 in June, our sources also said Nintendo will show first and third party titles at the event, but it's unsure if they'll be playable or only in video form.

Update: Sources now confirm to IGN the new Nintendo controller allows players to stream entire games to the device from the console, saying it's like a miniature television. The screen size on the controller is also confirmed to be six inches in size.

I don't understand, the console is streaming data into the controller?
 
Not really, it's much more convenient. You can bring a controller AND your data with you in one thing. DS, you don't seem to like change, or any new technology. :/

oh I don't hate change, but I rage sometimes and when I do my controllers can go flying out windows :pinch:


seriously though, why make a controller, which can ware down and break, hold data?

So memory cards can't wear down and break?

they can last a long time, but if you keep playing with them everyday they will break much sooner then they should.


so again, my point, the controller is the most used part of the a game console. so what moron deiced to make it a data storage device as well?
 
well if they really wanted to make data easier to take with you from console to console they would have made hard drives that work instead of needing format as in the PS3 or if you take a slim console you can no longer pop an older xbox 360 hard drive on it without taking it all apart,

seems that controllers would be the easy solution but also the easiest to break as mentioned above,
