MaxConsole has published rumours about a possible hardware upgrade for the Wii console. The system is said to be Blu-ray enabled and will apparently feature 1080p support.
A simultaneous worldwide release date is said to be planned for the third quarter of 2010 and Nintendo is apparently considering a trade-in scheme for original Wii consoles. The site lists a marketing employee of Nintendo of France as the original source.
I would just like to remind people that MaxConsole has been one of the most unreliable gaming news sites on the net. They have both written complete bullshit as well as spread other people's.
My inside knowledge of Nintendo is that Nintendo of France would have absolutely no knowledge of such plans, if they existed, so early on. Nintendo of Europe, based in Frankfurt, is hardly ever told so well in advance of new hardware; at least not the guys in marketing. To me, this is a complete fabrication. The idea of such a trade-in scheme is also laughable.

Bravo my friend for setting many people straight regarding this. Maxconsole was never a site I trusted either after they released the supposed specs of the Wii and then in turn everyone taking that as fact. What are these people smoking?
ReplyDeleteWhile a console like that wouldn't be bad idea, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. They don't abandon home consoles that quick especially one that is doing the best sine the NES in terms of sales.
Lets move on and look forward to the games of 2010 for the Wii and not worry about this anymore.
wiiboy101 here my own prediction is more believable BUT YOU NEVER KNOW!!!
ReplyDeleteANYONE ON EARTH CAN SAY 1080P AND BLURAY THATS NOT A CONSOLE ITS JUST COME GOON GUY SAYING 1080P AND BLURAY ANYONE CAN DO THAT.........
right heres an idea i have myself im not saying its a prediction more a guessstamat to how Nintendo thinks
combined with were system on chip cool running tech is going in 2010
this is my idea iv seen others with similar ideas also...
EVIDENCE
TEGRA RUMOR FOR NEW DS
TEGRA 2 4X POWER OF TEGRA 1
ION 2 2X PLUS ION 1
ABOVE ARE ALL BATTERY CAPABLE HD CAPABLE AND GOOD GAMING POWER..
ARM A9 CPU CAN HIT 2GHZ AND BE 1TO4CORES....
TEGRA 2 IS ARM A9 BASED AND POSSIBLY INSIDE NEW DS
ARM CONFIRMED A9 BASED NETBOOKS WITH HIGH END GPUS WITH PC GAMING PERFORMANCE IN 2010...
SEE WERE IM GOING HERE
RIGHT TAKE IN ALL THE ABOVE AND ADD THE LATEST NEWS OD DSi DELUXE WITH 4 INCH SCREENS
MY GUESS IS THAT ITS 50/50 CHANCE NINTENDO IS GOING HYBRED CONSOLE
A SUPER DS THAT DOCKS INTO A MINI Wii DOCKING STATION WITH HDMI OUT AND DIGI SOUND OUT
SUPER DS COULD RUN AT 800 MHZ CPU SPEED
WILST DOCKED CPU UPS TO 2GHZ (AS ITS NOW NOT IN BATTERY MODE)
WILST DOCKED IT ADDS EXTRA RAM AND A SECOND BETTER TV OUT HD GPU THE MINI BOARDS INSIDE EACH UNIT WOULD CONNECT AND ACT AS HD TV OUT DOCKING CONSOLE Wii HD
THIS IS SUCH AN EASY THING TO DO
WIIS CHIP SET CAN BE SHRUNK AND INCLUDED FOR WII SUPPORT
TRUE Wii HD WILL USE ARM CPU AND THE NVIDEA GPUS ALSO
SUPER DS WITH BIG SCREENS AND DUAL TOUCH SCRENS DOCKS INTO MINI WII DOCKING UNIT AND PRESTO YOU GOT WII HD
HYBRED CONSOLE DISRUPTS PS3 X360 AND DS AND WII BUT MAINTAINS THE DS/WII WAYS
A HYBRED CONSOLE WOULD BE SO CLEVER AND DISRUPTIVE
OH LOOK IV JUST OUT PREDICTED MAXCONSOLE WITH EASE
BVUT YOU NEVER KNOW THE TRADE IN IDEA SOUNDS KINDA INTERESTING
DSi -tom hanks!!! sorry i had to..
ReplyDeletethe DSi "BIG" (delux) is screaming test the waters for slightly bigger hand-helds, if successful more reason for Nintendo to go hybrid console..wiiboy your on to something the dsiBIG looks netbook-ish..

ReplyDeleteI've been saying that since last year.
Nintendo is a Japanese company who
caters to their Japanese fanbase first.
Their fanbase loves portables.
Nintendo has been shrinking their consoles
At some point, console and portable will meet
Will it be next year?
That would be the greatest disruption
Yeah, as rumours go it's a pretty stupid one. Nintendo doesn't want to go the media machine route and they're hardly going to pay Sony for the privilege of using Blu-Ray.
ReplyDeletethey wouldn't pay Sony for bluray Sony doesn't own bluray... its a multi company format including Panasonic were Nintendo gets its drives from......it wouldnt be a standard drive ether
ReplyDeleteit would be a priorty version for fast games loading and anti pirasy
DO YOU NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW NINTENDO WORK
ABOVE JUST IF NINTENDO DID CHOOSE BLURAY IM NOT SAYING THEY WOULD
Hah let the party BEGIN
ReplyDeleteACTIVITION EXPOSED AS ANTI Wii AND playing mind games with pc crowd also....
ReplyDeleteactivition are obsessed with first day numbers and chart positions and hype (MALSTROM TALKS ABOUT THIS)AND are clearly aiming to break records with cod MW2 by gimping the pc market version that gets more x360 and ps3 versions to sell resorting in bigger console numbers to brag
infantry and activition are hiding a very very good wii port of cod 4 on wii also again to keep attention on cod mw 2 x360 and ps3 in order to capture big hypible numbers
this is the 3rd party BIRDMEN mentality clearly at work and a deranged obsession with hyping numbers not facts...
by gimping wii they get more kudos from sony fanboy and micrsoft fanboy
by gimping pc they again get more (blind) kudos from sony fan and micrsoft fan
they hype it all up and be anti nintendo and anti wii at the same time IN ORDER TO FEED THE ADDICT (THE SO CALLED CORE GAMER) WITH HIS EGO BOOST
ALL VERY CLEVER ACTIVITION TO THOSE WHO ARE IDIOTS (NOT ME OR MALSTROM)
to creat another mini HARDCORE GAMER MYTH around cod mw2
to maintain the fake HARDCORE INDUSTRY CREATED BULL SHIT
bu gimping away the wii version of cod 4 they can then JUSTIFY wii as not for core games and not include it in the future
3rd partys actually think they have the power WILST NINTENDO DISRUPTS AND TAKES THERE MARKET FROM UNDER THEM AS WE TYPE THIS IS HAPPENING
AND ANY SANE PERSON ALSO UNDERSTANDS NEW SUPER MARIO Wii SHALL OUT SELL ALL VERSIONS OF COD mw2 COMBINED IN THE LONG RUN
ACTIVITION LITTLE SECRET COD IS A FAD
NINTENDO AND MARIO ARE FOR EVER
how about a discussion on this blog about ARE CONSPIRASY SPECULATION OF THE 3RD PARTYS
WE ALL KNOW ITS HAPPENING AND WE ALL KNOW ACTIVITION GOT FOUND OUT DOING IT
its a sad day for wiiboy101 he thought malstrom was of (true gamer status)
ReplyDeletehe has entered the twilight zone with shigsy should retire
sad day for wiiboy malstrom has entered the twilight zone of I DONT GET IT
HE MAYBE BECOMING A HARDCORE
malstrom im hoping im wrong and you didnt say this your view point here like the 199.99 wii holds no water

If this is true, look out. This is going to be the hot thing. It's more likely that this is just a complete fabrication anyway.

Great job with the whistle blowing on Maxconsole. I wonder where they got their information (and that's giving them enough credit to assume that they wouldn't pull it out of thin air. Many people already illegally try to alter their Nintendo Wii . So, maybe Nintendo would (possibly) decide to add all these features that Maxconsole is trying to say. Who knows? Once it does happen Nintendo will let us know, and if all of this is complete B.S. they will let us know all the same.
