Redesigned Wii coming but with no Gamecube?

This fall, Nintendo is releasing a new Wii SKU, with a new look (no pics yet) and something missing, No gamecube support. It will not play Gamecube games or have the slots for controllers or memory cards. Does this mean there will be another price drop? Surly it's cheaper to make a wii without gamecube slots. Plus Nintendo needs the money and a cheaper wii could help. The "new" wii comes with wii party and wii sports and comes out in the UK in the fall, with no word on a US release yet. If it does come here, I'll be looking for the older gamecube friendly one.

update: here's the new look wii 

   

Wii U, the next gen console war has begun!

The Nintendo Wii U was revealed to the world yesterday, & the gaming public was amazed. The wii U features a screen on the controller. It is 6.2 in 16:9 (yea HD, most likely 720p), dual analog stick a,b, x,y, lb,rb, and zl/zr buttons. A stylus, rumble features, motion controls, and a power button.Wii games, controllers, and accessories will work with wii u. Wii u will have built in flash memory, but you can add more via SD cards or a USB hard drive via the 4 usb 2.0 slots. Game wise a mario game was featured and a new super smash bros was said to come to the system. You can transfer the game you're playing from the tv to the touch pad, lets not hope that many company make the the only trick it can do. Wii U will come some time in 2012, hope fully before the end of the world.

  

Should Nintendo drop game prices after they been out a few years?

A few days ago I went to gamestop, My plan was to get my little cousin Super Mario Galaxy for her birthday. Her family got a Wii for Christmas and I want to introduce them to some good Nintendo games. I found super Mario galaxy, and it cost $35 used and $45 new. I have had always had a problem (and thanks to formspring, you do to) with Nintendo not dropping prices on games that have been out a few years. I have passed on some DS games hoping they drop in price, which they have not. I'm not paying 35 bucks for Mario kart DS when it should only cost $15 by now. This is only hurting Nintendo by not allowing there games to naturally drop in price, like all games do. Nintendo should remedy this problem by the the next gen or consoles, stop it from becoming just another reason Nintendo is number 3.

   

What the wii 2 should have

At E3 this year, Nintendo is supposedly going to announce the Wii 2. Will sales have been affected by the Kincet and Move releases, also due to the new motions controllers, Gamers are not even touching there wiiis (or so I’ve heard) So the big N is going to make a new system earlier than it’s competitors. What should this new console have? Will Nintendo make the mistakes like no HD this time? Here what I want in the wii 2.

Hard Drve

This is a no brainier, but for Nintendo, they would easy pass it. Memory cards for consoles are dead. HDDs are here to stay, and Nintendo better put one in wii 2. Along with a HDD, Nintendo should start a media service like Live and PSN has. They could even push it more and include DVR capabilities. And would it be that hard to add DVD playing in?

High Def

It’s they way games are being played, and developed in. Nintendo treated HD like it did online before, now it’s time to embrace HD Nintendo, Mario need to head into the HD light.

Controllers

You can keep the wiimotes, or go contollerless vie Kinect, but you must have a regular controller to play non-motion controlled games. It’ll bring more games to the system (that and a HD) that was passed over during the wii 1 reign. Nintendo could even revolution the controller again and introduce the first touchscreen controller to the world

No more Friend Codes

Admit it, you hate them, and you and many more would love to see them go. Nintendo should go the way of Live or PSN, but sadly with the 3DS having the codes, the friend code will not die.

Those were some of the thing I think the Wii 2 should have. I’m sure Wii 2 will not have some of the features mentioned. It could even have some not mention or even seen before. What do you want the Wii 2 to have?
