Nintendo have announced the next release date for the Wii console.
We do not have any technical details just yet but if gamers want to have a sneak preview of the new console then you should head over to the E3 Expo in Los Angeles in June.
The original Wii launched five years ago and unfortunately sales have been declining due to recent competition from PlayStation Move, Xbox 360 Kinect and mobile gaming platforms. However, Nintendo still hold the fact that they were the first console to offer a brand new motion controlled gaming experience.
Nintendo’s chief executive, Satoru Iwata has given hints that his company are preparing for a fresh innovation.
Sources have mentioned that Wii 2 just wants to update the existing machine such as by adding HD graphics. However, another source from Eurogamer.net completely opposes that view and has told BBC News:
“"The talk was about Wii HD, but I do not see Nintendo doing that. It will do something more innovative."
He also noted that the Nintendo Wii was never supposed to be a hi-tech console. It was originally marketed for its motion-sensing capabilities, Johnny Minkley expects to see the the new console marketed in the same way.
