Maybe not by 2011, but Miyamoto already said the Wii2 will be a HD console.

Why not by 2011? That's more than 2 years away. That's very possible. I'd love to see it come out sooner :p

Why? I never understand these console wars, it just boils down to the "My dad is better than your dad" type stuff......

This'll look pretty good, but IMO, the problem with the Wii isn't bad graphics, (well, not the bigger problem), but shovelware that doesn't use the control system in as good a way to make it truly revolutionary.....

Although I've heard Brawl did this well....

Brawl worked well because it didn't drag the motion sensors in.

Should I continue coding or focus on my art? Vote here:

completely agree with coffeegrunt
I love games not the consoles
The new wii and 360 will probably come at the same time?
If you have an wii use the component cable option and the interlaced hd resolution.
Looks alot better then the ordinary rgb cable
Sony have already told us that the ps3 is so advanced so that they dont nead a new one in 10 years ?
cheers

ANYTHING that is able to run any form of software that others consider a platform is subject to merciless verbal abuse from people who do not understand the point of the product, which causes the use of heavier competition only worsening the verbal abuse towards said product. This is especially true for game consoles. While game consoles are geared specifically towards running games, they're also becoming more and more like computers - just not upgradeable. So, these console wars are pointless - the true best console is the PC.

BUT, you get a console because you want to play a game.

Yeh, but I know of loads of people who've "chipped" their 360's to accept pirated games......

It's getting pretty bad nowadays with all this pirating....

There's always been pirating. There will always be pirating. It's no worse than it ever was.

I certainly hope in 3 years there will be a new console with these features, considering that 5 years between consoles is generally the trend with Nintendo.

It could do my laundry and my homework for me but I wouldn't buy a Nintendo now as they've let me down with handhelds and home consoles in the same generation. Every handheld before the Lite was rugged and indestructible. Every home console before the Wii had a strong graphics system and was well built. Now it's all let's copy Apple. Make it shiny, small, sleek and expensive.

I'd rather it lasted twelve months of heavy gaming use (open/close your Lite six times a day every day for a year, wish the Wii didn't constantly overheat and disc error) and the support cared even a little.

I would argue that it's worse now because of the Internet. When I was in high school some students would trade diskettes and if they're lucky find a BBS to download some warez, but it was much more difficult if you didn't have connections. That being said more people are being exposed to games now with the Internet.

I agree with jeku as i remember the old days with floppy swapping at school and bbs to download.
Now is it yust to simple to download piracy wares with an simple klick of the mouse button.
And its fast to download too nowdays,in the old days could an complete game sometimes take 2 days and mostly dont work when downloaded

I don't know, it could be likely.
Reminds me of the Nintendo DSi. Everyone thought it was just a simple rumor, until Nintendo officially announced it was true.
It might be a couple of years, but I personally believe that this could prove to be true. However, I have to agree that it probably isn't, so I'm conflicted now. Hmm...to believe rumors, or not to believe rumors? That is the question.
Whether it is nobler of the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune or, to take arms against our imposing....

Dang, that's all of the speech I remember! Ah well...time to finish my report on Shakespeare!

Everyone I know gets a game either by borrowing it or downloading it... Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one left in the world who saves up money just so I can get the game I want... :/

But, IMO, Guitar Hero and Rock Band sort of made a good way of anti-piracy in a sense -- it's no fun without the guitar! Can't download that.

EDIT - What I mean is that if a game requires hardware, or a game IS hardware (For example, an arcade game), then it's not worth pirating. The only time I'd consider it justifiable is when someone's disc broke. I'll admit that I downloaded a PS1 game recently. My disc was broken, I accidently stepped on it >_< -- Is it wrong? My disc broke, I recently bought it, should I buy it again? It's not even current! The game developers/publishers wouldn't make any money off of it anyways - it'd have to be bought used. And in that event, it'd most likely freeze. So I downloaded the ISO and am playing it with my PS1 emulator. Is that wrong? I think not.

But when you download a game that is currently in circulation - or, if you download a game you do not own or did not shell money out for - then that is wrong. The publishers/developers don't make any money off of it. This is one reason why I think development for a game can be so expensive (Clearly there are many more factors though - I'm sure Jeku has extensive knowledge on this).

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is this - don't cheat someone out of earning what they deserve. The developers have mouths to feed, most likely a few besides their own. They have their own lives too. And if some of them are rich, then whatever, they're rich, but that's not an excuse - they're money will run out eventually if they don't get any form of income. It's wrong to pirate anything that the developers or publishers would make money off of otherwise.

For example, I don't think it's wrong to download certain NES games. I for one, own Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3. They work great, but sometimes I'd prefer to play them on the computer - which adds the benefit of hacked ROMs. How else would this be accomplished?

HOWEVER, that was speaking from an entirely moral stand point.... Legally - It's wrong. If you're religious, you've committed a sin - probably.

I'm not noob slapped am I?

Cheers,

When it comes to console games so could they go back to the copy protection that the amiga and atari had.
Code wheels you got instructed to turn in an specific order to get an uniqe code to be able to play .
As i dont belive that the pirates will bother to try to hack an console game that they do with an pc game.
As how do you crack patch your downloaded console game without to much hazzle for the ordinary people
