Sources: The Wii 2 Exists, and We’ll See It at E3 in June

From Wii price cuts to console successors, here we construe with silly temper rumors over again: In this corner, the Nintendo Wii 2, or Wii replacement, Beaver State Nintendo's Next Grown Affair. GameStop-closely-held Secret plan Informer cartridge clip claims that it's heard from "doubled sources" that Nintendo's planning to unveil whatever's next at E3 in June, "if not Oklahoman."

Sadly the about important thing to Game Informer seems to personify the system's rumored ability to run games at stinky-definition resolutions–sort of like pointing out that a contemporary computer comes with a mouse (or, you know, USB ports). There's also extraordinary mumbling about whether the scheme can go rounds pixel-for-pixel with the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 (because we need Sir Thomas More system war flame come-on).

Book is Nintendo's already chatting up publishers, display just about the system to swot up up involvement. Set up timeframe? Non until 2020. Which, much as we'd all love a new Nintendo organization in time for the holidays this yr, makes sense if you want to fall in developers and publishers time to tack a opaque stable of launch titles.

"Nintendo is doing this one right," said same of Game Rat's anonymous sources. "[It's] non a gimmick like the Wii."

Right, because the Wii was just a thingamabob. A system that utterly destroyed the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in unit sales internationally. A system that's still outselling both of those systems more months than non. Look: I know. I get it. I only play mine twice a year, too. But you mightiness as well gripe just about 3D in James Cameron's Avatar, or juvenile writing in the Crepuscl books. Hasn't stopped people overlapping both dormy in droves.

Anyway, now we wait, and speculate, and take apart rumors, and dish. Just commemorate: What will be, leave be, and all we can promise for at this point is that whatever's side by side, Nintendo makes IT as unusual and industry-upending American Samoa their last two ideas.
