RUMOR: Wii 2 HD?
Published on: 30th October, 2009
For those who haven’t heard already, rumors of a new Wii 2 HD have been popping up all around the net. Certain Specs that have been reveiled for this new system have included:
- a Blu-ray Drive with a seconday motive to hopefully stop pirating
- 1080p Resolution support (wether upscaling of current games will be supportted is still unknown)
- a Worldwide release date in the third quarter of 2010
- a sort of trade in plan, where you would be able to trade in the original Wii for some sort of credit toward the new one.
Artik from Logic-Sunrise.com was the first to report on this and with more and more facts becoming appearant it is becoming more and more like a reality. Since this report more reports have been coming in as well as new info such as.
- 4 USB 2.0 Slots
- No longer will there be support for Gamecube controllers but plans on a newly designed Wavebird using usb and bluetooth technology
- Built in 60GB hard drive
This info was originally leaked from Nintendo’s french Marketing team and this leak seems to have run loose all over the net. It was only yesterday that President of Nintendo Iwata was quoted as saying; “We were unable to show a new game to become ‘the next thing.’ In the game market, once you’ve lost the momentum, it takes time to recover.” Wether it is real or not, only time will tell.
