Game on Revolution said:Huge props to Metaldave for this news story!!! Below is a quote taken from a recent Q and A with Gamepro magazine. It seems as though our Wii may be hiding one more secret.....
Q I recently went into a GameStop store to see if they had a Wii Kiosk and pick up the new Splinter Cell. While I was in there, I began to discuss the Wii system with the manager of the store. He explained Nintendo recently held a GameStop Managers kind of meet and greet for the Wii, with Reggie present. He also said Reggie announced their is still one more big secret left on the Wii, which will be revealed around launch. I called another store and the manager there said Reggie did in fact say such a thing. My question is have you heard any of this? Do you have any speculation as to what it may be? I have heard it is potentially a graphics solution or a camera attachment.
A: Wow, you're up on your stuff. I can confirm that there was a GameStop retreat and Reggie did in fact say there will be another big Wii revelation around launch time.
My Thoughts:
Online. I personally think that the big secret will have something to do with their online component of the Nintendo Wii. The online part of Wii still remains much of a mystery and seems to be a logical choice for the "secret".
My next guess: a new game has been in development for Wii and will be a HUGE surprise for gamers everywhere. Couple this with the recent rumors of Sega having a Wii title in development and we may have our secret. Let the speculation resume. As always I will be following this as it unfolds so keep it here. Game ON!
and for the Enhanced Wii from Aussie-Nintendo and other news:
Aussie-Nintendo said:Nintendo plans enhanced Wii, teams with CNN for news
29 Oct 2006 - A few new Wii details surface, including hints at a superior version of the console being in development.
According to the latest edition of overseas magazine, Edge, Nintendo is developing an 'enhanced' version of its Wii console, equipped with DVD playback capabilities, which will launch in Japan next year.
The magazine also claims that Nintendo has struck a deal with CNN, which will see the leading news outlet deliver American and Japanese content to the Wii News Channel. In addition to this, it is said that news will be presented via categories, and that users will be able to trawl the 3D globe (just as with the Forecast Channel) and hone in on news from specific parts of the world.
Nintendo intended to launch the Wii in North America for around US$200, or £150 in the UK, however concerns were apparently raised by larger retail chains, who were dissatisfied with the lack of profit to be made.
Sega has also reportedly moved a large portion of its employees from PlayStation 3 development to Wii projects. Meanwhile, Edge boldly suggests that Wii Sports will be 'the Super Mario 64' of the Wii.
Finally, in an interview with the magazine, Laurent Fischer, Marketing Director at Nintendo of Europe, expressed his belief that the Wii will not be an immediate, run-away success, and that it will instead slowly gain momentum following advertising and word of mouth.
And there is also a rumour that it is going to have better graphics that the Xbox 360...
