Nintendo announced on Monday that it will launch a successor to its best-selling Wii game machine and that it will "offer a new way of playing games. The system will launch sometime in 2012, Nintendo announced at a news conference in Japan early last week, but they have not reveled what it will feature. Over the years the Wii was a very popular gaming system because it was unique from the Xbox or Playstation due to its motion control sensors. Since X box has come out with a controller-less way of playing the Wii has seen less sales and are forced to come out with a new generation of gaming. Rumors had recently begun circulating that Nintendo would reveal a successor to the Wii. And according to leaks from multiple anonymous sources, the Wii 2 will feature controllers with touchscreens and will be capable of running games in HD resolutions and will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PS3. The machine is also reportedly will be capable of streaming games to each controller, will be around the same size as the first-generation Xbox 360 and could cost between $350 and $400. Certainly the company must be hoping repeat the success it had with the Wii. The machine not only sold at an outstanding rate, it brought legions of non-gamers and lapsed gamers into the gaming fold. It seems gaming is getting more and more high tech every year and is getting to the point where i am wondering how much further can gaming companies go with their systems. Pretty soon everything is going to be in 3-d. I kinda miss the old days of the old nintendo where you played duck hunter and Mario. If all the rumors are true about the new Wii would you invest your money into buying it?
