D3Live: Wii 2

2010-11-27
hey guys welcome to this week's episode of d3 live so today I'm going to be talking about the next generation Nintendo console whether it's called the Wii to the Wii HD or something entirely different there's a lot to know about it and there's a lot to expect so the first thing is the release date which is obviously a pretty big deal unlike the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 I really strongly think that the Wii is not going to have anywhere near that lifespan I think that the we will probably be replaced sometime next year would be surprised maybe about a year or so from now that the next week does come out I mean assuming that there's a lot of easy you know guesses that we can make to see what we'll be expecting so the first thing are the graphics now it's not a really a big surprise that the Wii really is not was not a big upgrade from the GameCube in fact very very similar graphics as far as the you know the power and all that nice stuff I expect this to change I just can't see how Nintendo would sit still for two generations in a row I just don't think that would happen now whether the Wii is going to make a huge jump and you know given better graphics than the ps3 and xbox360 I don't know but I do think it will least has some high-definition graphics it should look quite a bit better than the current generation of way I mean I just really just find it hard to believe that Nintendo will just go okay we're just gonna add you know a little bit of motion or this with that I think that they're really they're gonna go ahead and upgrade the Wii with some better graphics and you know just just give it better online capabilities they're gonna really go ahead and step it up a little bit however I also don't expect that they will make a bunch of huge changes either the we had been while it's not doing so great right now Louise has sold so many consoles it's been such a huge hit from Nintendo I really don't think that they're just gonna go okay that was nice but you know let's just throw it away and start from scratch I think it will retain a lot of the same things I think that it's gonna be a very simple console as far as you know no complicated menus anything that's gonna be you know pop your disc in play the game get to whatever you're doing just like the currently is but I also think that it's going to be a very small console so that was one of the big things with the Wii is that they wanted to make it as small as possible which obviously makes sense especially for the market that they were targeting someone like the Xbox for the PlayStation 3 which you know pretty large for game consoles I think the ways gonna be remain very fairly small I should add some new things such as you know like HDMI out obviously high-definition TVs some different things like that but overall I think that we should remain fairly similar in size I have one thing that I actually would improve here I'm really hoping for is that the we will actually gain blu-ray support so while a lot of people are saying you know it's about time that we get into digital downloads all I have to say is look at the PSP Co I don't think we're there yet I think eventually we will go into you know now use mean discs anymore and just using digital downloads but for the current future I don't see that happening certainly not by next year now well I think that we could probably get away with using DVDs again just like the Xbox does I think it would make a lot of sense if they are able to get a blu-ray blu-ray disc drive into it now that certainly would raise the price however I think it would be worth it especially because you know it would give the Wii another you know another nice feature about it too the chips go ahead and play your blu-ray discs and it would give a lot more data and a lot more room for all the different week two games so that's about it the only other major thing that I'm you know that think that we will see is a redesigned controller while the when the wheel remote first came out that was you know is pretty great volution area is very very good Motion Plus helped some however now when you look at you know the PlayStation Move and the Xbox Kinect it's kind of looking a little bit outdated so I think that we mint in has going to go ahead and upgrade some just like what the way - I don't think they're going to be a radical upgrade I don't think it'll go move to like you know like using something like Kinect I think it will probably remain just controller could be wrong but I do think they will be public just a more accurate Wii Remote maybe you know some kind of cool gimmicks then you know there's always coming up with new stuff but on the whole of it I don't see a ton of huge upgrades for the way - I think it have high definition probably will be you know a blu-ray player should have a lot better graphics however on the whole that I think that it will remain a very similar console just with some much-needed improvements okay so for the second segment of t3 live I'll be taking live questions as always every episode of d3 light is filmed in front of block TV quite a few people in here today so glad just take some questions will the be will the we get bigger or smaller um I think it will probably get a little bit bigger you know after looking at you know the we is that's a pretty good very small console I think it will get a little bit bigger but I don't think it will get you know drastically big I don't think I'll be anywhere near as large you know kids through Xbox 360 what games do I think the we two will have you know I think you'll be similar I don't think this is the Nintendo is just going to break away from doing you know the kind of family games you know like Mario and all that kind of stuff I think they're gonna mostly stick with that and whatever I would be surprised with the increased graphical capability that it will probably get some better games such as you know since as you might find the xbox and ps3 let me spread it the way is that you know you when big brand new game comes out you'll see it for the Xbox the ps3 well it'll be surprised to be now set for the Wii to as well I would definitely be something I would be looking forward to so I think it'll probably remain mostly the same but there will be some more mature games more first-person shooters a lotta stuff will they change the remote yeah I do think they will change the remote now as far as that I have no idea how they will first I think I'll probably just be you know more accurate they'll probably you know they might even go for a normal controller they might go for the same kind where you just can plug in a secondary controller in might be all Wireless I don't know as far as that goes you know all that motion control stuff and how they you know come up with all these innovative ideas way beyond me I'm gonna do you think they will change and they will improve hopefully for the better will they bring Netflix etc yeah I definitely think so I'm in fact it let me surprise when we actually get something similar to apps I know it actually would have been some rumors that the Xbox 360 will be getting some sort of app support maybe like an app store or some something like that imma be surprised to see the same thing on the week I mean people would really like apps you know obviously it's on the iPhone I'm gonna start a sprout in two different ways and let me surprise the week it's something kind of similar to that but you know you can get download netflix you can also go ahead and do other things maybe you know what web browsers except etc do I think that we two will overcome the ps3 or the Xbox 360 that's kind of a hard question I think it's really going to come down to how well Nintendo was able to execute the way to now if it comes across as just a minor upgrade if the graphics er just so-so you know it doesn't do a whole lot more it doesn't move the needle very far then no I don't think so however Nintendo I just have to say this I mean for the first few years they sold so many weeds I'm sure a lot of you guys remember you know if you ever tried to buy a way you know they for the first two years or so they were sold out non-stop I think that Nintendo absolutely does have the capability to do that kind of thing again to just sell just just ridiculous amounts of weeds however it really good is just going to come down to what all features they do and how they execute the week too so yeah that's kinda hard to say do I think it will be a Wii for well I don't know I'm actually kind of comeback to the name as far as if they called the Wii - I honestly don't know firstly I don't actually think it will be called the Wii - I we've kind of expected them to call it something something else it could be like the Wii HD or something but I'm I would think that Nintendo will probably come up with new a brand new name but honestly like I said I really don't know it's mostly just speculation and what what everyone thinks it will be call right now and help Spencer there will be probably more expensive than it is currently I'll definitely give me that the reason one of the major reasons that the Wii is quite a bit less expensive than the Xbox and the ps3 is just because it has very very old hardware I mean a lot of people don't realize but the week basically for all intents and purposes has gank you and put the components with you know we with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth I mean so that's obviously very cheap to make I think it will definitely have to be increased probably similar maybe even a little bit more expensive than the Xbox and the PlayStation 3 but yeah I do think it will be considerably more expensive not I don't think it'd be anything crazy like you know when the Xbox and the ps3 first came out you know I think it's like six and seven dollars I don't think it'll be that expensive it'll probably look for three maybe even four hundred dollars for the starting price of course do I think the way to is worth it you know that's that's not a hard question again I think that the Wii - definitely has a lot of potential like I said earlier as far as what the price would be while the features on all the specifics Collard to see but I do you think there's like I said a lot of potential I think it very well could be a very great gaming console do I think there will be more than one caller I would hope so um you know the we took forever when they first came out it's called the revolution on that lotta different colors I believe there are five or six pretty cool colors of course the we came out is only in white it was only white for a long time then just now I had a couple of new colors so hopefully they do you know kind of spice up the week to just a little bit hey guys that's it for this episode of d3 line i definitely to thank you all for watching and if you're interested in seeing more d3 vibe totally feel free to subscribe to the channel i do these every saturday at 3 o'clock eastern time so you can go ahead come actually watch it on the show we usually play some games and sometimes announce giveaway it's all kind of stuff and of course if you miss that you guys watch this fully edit version on youtube so anyway guys thanks for watching
