They might also increase the internal flash, but I think that would be it.

Look at the DS vs. the DSi. That's the kind of incremental improvement we should expect from the Wii.]]>Feb 9th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/

I need at least one samuri sword, one decapitation, one giant chain gun and a nuke in my video games. Bloodbaths help too]]>Feb 9th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/

You are having a laugh! The lack of hard buttons will mean that the iPhone will never be anything than a poor relation to the real handheld games systems.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. But here on Earth, the soft buttons in iPhone games are pretty standardized and work great for both 2d and 3d games.

I can get an awesome RPG for the iPod touch, with about 2-4 weeks (!!) of gameplay, for like, 6 bucks... and the DS equivalent is... eh??, 40?, and I have to carry around all those cartridges? Meh. So retro.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
I don't have to tell myself anything, I have been gaming for almost 30 years and have played on practically every console that has been released, I am very open to new ideas and not a fanboy of anything but the world of games. It is clear from playing it that most games are not suited to the touch screen. Some games are great with it but these tend to be the more simplistic ones (not a bad thing as I love simplistic games as much as deeper ones). However try playing Street fighter style games or any other button intensive or precision based game and the touch screens just can't cope.]]>Feb 9th 2010 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
A phone is not a game console, anyway.]]>Feb 9th 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/absolutely. i also don't like how on-screen touch controls either take up screen space on an already small device (and look like ass), or force your fingers to block things you need to see.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
This is Wii music to my ears. please nintendo. bring it back to the early 90's and show these punks who's the boss. ^_^

Link, Samus, Ash Catchem, Mario, yoshi. you have the greatest characters. and if these silly developers do not want to make triple A titles forget em. you dont need them. please resorect your ancient glory and make me go out and buy your system. im not a kid any more. i dont have to cut yards to buy games.

i got lots of cash. and i would love to spend it on the company that directly caused me to love technology.

I guess i will have to "Leave Luck To Heaven."

ps: your a true gamer if you know what that means off the bat. ^_^]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
you forgot about Pikachu]]>Feb 9th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
Actually, only "Ninten" means "Leave Luck To Heaven", "do" being a suffix.

Hopefully they'll do a good improvement on the Wii.

Will they ever do a more traditional type of console (without motion sensing being it's main focus)? One can only hope, and leave it to the heavens.]]>Feb 9th 2010 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 4:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
and rightfully so!]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
You're so damn limited by the weaksauce console specs!

The 360 and PS3 specs are pretty crap compared to 2010 hardware too, sure, but a 800mhz power-pcand and that archaic 90nm ATI gpu w/ 88megs of shared system memory is saaaaaad.]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
Since my 360 Dual red lighted I've been PC gaming and will probably start using the Wii again once I return home from Uni.

Improve online, better internals, Motion Plus intergrated into the remote, Wireless sensor bar. The list goes on...]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/I don't at all mind it being connected to the Wiimote. In fact I kinda prefer it that way. Less batteries to deal with, fewer things to sync, and there's no question making it wireless would hike up the price significantly.

It wouldn't hurt to offer a wireless version. But I would hope they keep the wired one too.]]>Feb 10th 2010 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
I jut hope Nintendo try to take on the big guns while maintaining their casual market they've magic'd up from no where; atm my 360 is getting a lot more love....]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
Even on the very most basic computer games, you have the options for low, medium, and high graphics scaling.

Why not do the same with consoles? No recoding of the games is required, just offer a low and higher performance version of each console which will automatically set to run games in low or high graphics modes. This is not only desperately needed for the Wii, but I played Mass Effect on my buddies XBox, and going from 1080P 16AA/AF to 720P ueber anti-aliasing with heavy object pop was atrocious! ]]>Feb 9th 2010 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
And on the PC, there are far more than eighteen versions, more like 8000 popular combinations of harddrive, CPU, GPU.

Just use the same processor and GPU "family", and simply bump the timings, memory, harddrive, etc of the expensive "high-end" version that simply automatically picks the high-graphics option when plugging a game in. That way if people want a cheap 360, they can have one, and if they want to play the games with better graphics, they have the option too.]]>Feb 9th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/Feb 9th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/nintendos-miyamoto-casually-references-new-hardware-motionplus/
