IGN Builds a Wii 2


Star Fox Runner

Recommended Posts

This is probably old news for some people, but I thought I would bring it up here for discussion.

Recently, based off of the information released about the Wii successor's components, IGN built a machine to try and give examples of how the Wii 2's games will look! And I gotta say it's got me psyched for what Nintendo has in store this year.

This was quite interesting.

It'll probably be a lot cooler that a simple PC. :)

Plus there's a chance that as tech gets better soon, they might upgrade their components from what they are now.

Gonna be awesome when/if there's a new Star Fox for WII.

Don't put much stock into this. The guy built a midrange PC and called it a "Wii 2." All he's proven is that similar off-the-shelf hardware can run modern PC games at decent settings, IE the potential is there. But it doesn't really many anything.

It's Apples and Oranges.

Some things will be better, as Cafe won't have as much OS baggage, but some may be worse as the hardware will be customized to Nintendo's specs. Especially considering the requirements for case space, cooling, and power input.

And all of this assumes those hardware rumors are true.

Well yeah, your right about that. But speculation and hype is what makes waiting for announcements like this fun!

YouTube commenters are speculating that the man whose head we're looking at the back of in this vid is Reggie Fils-Aime.

The guy does have some resemblance, but the video is too dark to be sure.

If it is Reggie, then this vid is true.

Now that you mention it, it does kinda look like Reggie, but then again, it's just the back of someone's head, so who knows?
