Nintendo has revealed plans to develop a successor to its popular Wii console system, with plans for a global launch in 2010.

Imaginatively named the Nintendo Wii 2 (although this could just be a working title), the new system purports to offer a higher specification graphics chip than Sony's PS3 and a more advanced remote controller than the original. The system will also include a Blu-ray player.

A spokesman for Nintendo said: "The Nintendo Wii has become popular beyond our expectations. And to keep interest in the format on a high, we plan to give fans of the system even more when we release its sequel.

"Wii 2 will give users a Blu-ray player, allowing for larger games and HD movie playback. It will also have graphics more advanced than on any other console and we are revising the Wii Remote and Nunchuk with a new system that will offer more accuracy, more freedom and a greater all-round experience than the current system".

The original Wii was initially released in December 2006, soaring to a success that defied industry analysts who had predictably pronounced the project doomed. The Wii Remote control system has proved more popular than anticipated, offering a unique approach to gaming.

The Wii has sold more than 20 million units, ahead of the 360 (18 million) and the PS3 (10 million).

I'm calling April fools on this one. The Blu-ray thing just doesn't seem like something they'd do.
I mean, they don't even have a DVD player (NA and PAL that is) in this one.
i smell a prank here,

but this would be rad, and expensive, probably
Itsa lie here, Its clearly a joke

BELIEVE NOTHING APRIL 1ST !
Lol, April Fools.
Carnival Games HD in 2010!?!?!?!?! This is an April Fools joke. It'll probably be 2010 before Nintendo can stock store shelves with Wii's, because soon they'll be sending the system to North Korea. Wink
I wonder if there are any April Fools jokes about Sony increasing the quality of their games and lowering their prices or about Microsoft fixing their system to completely rid us of RRoD.

PS3 has 67 games with a rating of 75 or above
Wii has 30 games with a rating of 75 or above

I can't speak for the Microsoft issue these days, because I don't own the system, and don't know if there's still an issue or not.  To do so would be like me complaining about aspects of SSBB and not owning the game. Smile

Anyways, we should all be leery about any kind of news that comes out on April 1st.  Nintendo is still riding very high, so there's no reason for them to pigeon-hold the Wii, by giving out info on a successor.

This was already proven to be false and it didn't really need to be. This wasn't even a clever April Fool's joke imo.
The entire Internet lies on this day. I make up a fake story myself Rolleyes.
Fake. Nintendo aren't going to announce plans for a sequel at this stage.
I sense...an April Fools joke.
This has got to be an April Fools.
Random bumping...?

It was april fools.
