You realize it's still going to be called "Wii [subtitle]", right?
Why would they ditch their most successful brand? And Miitomo and Miitopia are still a thing, so looks like the "Wii", with all it's stupid Wii gimmicks like Miis and shit aren't going anywhere just yet.

Wii NX
I don't think they're that stupid after the Wii U confusion early on.
They're must successful brand is their company name itself. Nintendo ___ will sell.
Nintendo Wii don't give a shit anymore.
>square wii nx
I believe they said that they were going to move away from the Wii name, but the confirmation of Just Dance 2017 for the NX means that it will have some sort of motion controller, so who knows what they'll do.
We've known for a while that Nintendo will "move away" from the Wii/DS branding. Why do you think that they've dropped the grey label and merged their retail space to the big red NINTENDO logo when it used be separate Wii U and 3DS baners.
The Wii U didn't failed because of branding confusion. It failed because nobody cared for it except the Nintendo diehards.
>Why would they ditch their most successful brand?
Because of the Wii U.
>The Wii U didn't failed because of branding confusion
The thought that the Wii U was a peripheral for the original Wii was so prevalent that one holiday season, Nintendo had to have an ad campaign specifically targeting that.
Please explain then why Miitomo and now Miitopia are a thing? It's a Wii. There's no doubt about it. Screen cap this,As a matter of fact, if it's not a 'Wii", i will fuck my Wii.
>The Wii U didn't fail because of branding confusion.
I don't know whether it did or not, but literally every expert said that was the major reason its launch was godawful.
Miis started on Wii, but they're not bound by it. It's a Nintendo thing overall. Miitomo being a thing shows that, if anything.
>if it's not a 'Wii", i will fuck my Wii.
please provide pics
Interesting, but how would the controllers be powered when detached? Each have individual batteries in them?
>Nintendo Nexus
Maybe? Though it'd be weird to have 3 different, separate batteries on one device (2 controllers and 1 screen/consoles)
They might well actually just call their new system the "NX". "DS" was initially just their internal codename for their Game Boy successor handheld
Exactly. I think I remember reading a report that the controllers would end up using infrared to communicate to the screen/console, but that still wouldn't explain how they would function when detached. I wish they would just show it already so we can stop speculating.
>Please explain then why Miitomo and now Miitopia are a thing?
Phone app about Miis+ 3DS game about Miis = NX is a Wii because of Miis?
It was Nitro, actually. Check a DS game's cartridge front and you'll see NTR.
>literally every other console/handheld codename has been at least marginally different from the release name
Nice cherry picking, user!
It's prolly going to be similar to how 2 PS Moves work.
yes, because if they were serious about a brand change, they would have called "miitomo" something else during development and same thing with "miitopia" which is a brand new game for 3DS. The "mii" is an extension of the Wii brand and it would be awkward if there were no "Wii' to go along with it. The NX will be a WIi. screencap this as well.
kek
>Wii NeXt
I'm not convinced that naming the Wii U something else like the "Wii 2", the "Wii HD" or the Ultra Super Duper NES would've made much of a difference. Its entire concept was fundamentally flawed. The console was not as casual-friendly like the Wii and too underpowered for the dudebros.
>The "mii" is an extension of the Wii brand and it would be awkward if there were no "Wii' to go along with it
Then why are they on 3DS and now phones?
Nintendo considers Miis to be their own thing now, separate from Wii.
BECAUSE THE NX WILL BE THE WII TO TIE THEM ALL TOGETHER
Well, I honestly hope so. At the end of the day, I think we'd all like it to be called something else.
Well, i know a lot of normies that didnt know the Wii U was an entirely new console, even though they loved the original Wii. It might not have been the main factor, but the name + a gamepad that looks like a mere add-on played a large role.
It's going to be something retarded like U and Mii
>Why would they ditch their most successful brand?
To avoid confusion with... well... the Wii. One of the main reasons why the Wii U didn't do so well was because of the name. Just ask any normie and they'll think it's a Wii with a tablet instead of an actual successor.
wii classic but its actually just pc painted like a nintendo with a chassis status screen.
comes with every super smash brothers and is literal cancer.
It wasn't the primary cause, but it, combined with the horrible advertising that failed to acknowledge it was even a console, led to plenty of confusion that no doubt damaged it.
u and *ai
If they had named the Wii U something like Wii 2 and had a traditional controller and the Wii wagglan controls instead of the tablet, they probably would've been outselling the Xbone by now.
If the NX is the third Wii, does that mean Nintendo goes all the way home?
Itll be called the New Wii U and it'll bomb like hell
Alright, I ad a giggle.
The gamepad is exactly the problem. It has less functionality than an iPhone and isn't even truly portable.
Post mock-ups. It's definitely thrown together, but shows most of the concepts from the various reports in a way that mostly makes sense.
Dude. Nice.
>U and Mii
youtu.be
What? Just Dance 2017 is also coming to the PC
It'll be called the Wii N Us
It was more-so confusion rather than hatred for the gamepad. No one outside of a few nerds actually cared that it existed, they just thought it was a mere add-on and that's it.
To this day I see people saying shit like "Oh, the new Zelda is coming out? For what console?!". Even I was confused during E3 when they showed it off, thinking it was just a handheld.
Wiinx peenx
>Their most successful brand
They're going to name another DS console?
Please explain then why Mario and now Donkey Kong are a thing? It's a NES. There's not doubt about it. Screen cap this,As a matter of fact, if it's not 'NES", i will fuck my NES.
It's recently been there least successful brand.
Exactly. The gamepad doesnt look like the main controler, it looks like a gimmick for some shovelware like the Wii Fit.
Hell, my father is decently knowledgeable on this stuff, and he still had a hard time wrapping his head around the Gamepad being a controller.
What the fuck are you even saying. Mario and Donkey Kong are games, not exclusive to one console but to the Nintendo brand as a whole. Miis go hand in hand with the Wii
What the fuck are you even saying. Mii are games, not exclusive to one console but to the Nintendo brand as a whole. I can't replace anything in your last sentence to make you realize how stupid you're being
all the newer parents are letting their kids play with their smartphones early.
nintendos console babby market strategy is completely fucked.
>Miis go hand in hand with the Wii
Which is why they have DS, 3DS, and now phone games?
i know you're probably baiting but an M isn't a W. Miitomo is working against your point, the Miis are on "iPhones" and "Android" devices and you can't actually use it on a Wii
So parents will think it's an add-on to the Wii U, which they didn't buy because the Wii U was just an add-on to the Wii?
Hope you got a small dick to be able to slide it into the disc slot...
>that shitty d-pad design again
why the fuck would they ever use this when they already have their own design patented and in use on all their systems
>Wii U NX
>Wii Unix
A Wii running open source GNU/Linux OS confirmed
Look, I get it. None of us want this to be a "Wii" . But at least I've come to terms with the fact that it undoubtedly will. I'm just saving myself from the inevitable disappointment that will come with the revelation that it is, in fact, a Wii. Lying to yourself that it won't be isn't going to make it any less of a Wii. All signs point to Wii, and I honestly thought you guys were familiar by now with how backwards Nintendo's decisions are and have been recently.
>none of us want this to be a "Wii"
Nowhere have I said that in my post. I'm trying to point out why saying an intellectual property means it's going to be X console is full fucking retard. Which you apparently still don't understand.

They lost it in 2005, but recently reacquired them (mainly the Start/Select/A/B buttons). And the split d-pad idea is so they can double as buttons when it's in "local multi" mode.
yeah i forgot patents don't last very long at all so naturally their d-pad isn't patented anymore. have they shown any designs with that or is it a rumor/speculation? it looks pretty bad but i suppose the d-pad isn't really used that much anymore
Wii (2017)
Let's Play Video Games and Emily Rogers reported on the Vita-esque split dpad, but there's patents for "modular controls", which I suspect could be about the control itself.

The Nintendo Winx
There's literally nothing "retarded" about it. The Mii brand and everything that was conceived alongside it are giant insinuators of what is to come. The fact that they didn't rename all of those applications on the 3DS home-screen suggests they are still of their old mindset. There's nothing technical about this. If they were serious about reformation of image/reputation/branding then we would start to see changes. But no, we still have Streetpass and Miiand things all related to and associated with the Wii brand. Stop being so stubborn. I can't wait to see your stupid fuicking faces when this shit is Wii New or some shit.
It will be called the "Wii 1"
It will be revealed years later that this was a prediction. As the name is short for "We won"
Because they applied that logic with Wii U and got only 1 tenth of Wii's sales?
there were plenty of other factors that resulted in the lack of Wii U sales. Don't act like it was exclusive to the name alone
Because it was 300 bucks.
