It doesn’t seem that long ago that the Wii U was released, but that never stops video game companies from researching and planning their next home console. Shigeru Miyamoto says that while the team are currently concentrating on the Wii U, their other teams are busy planning and working on ideas for their next generation console.
We’re focused on providing a robust line-up of Wii U software for next year. It seems like we’ve managed to do that this year and people are very happy with what we’ve done on Wii U. For the time being, our focus is on the Wii U hardware, but Nintendo as a whole has groups working on ideas for new hardware systems. While we’re busy working on software for the Wii U, we have production lines that are working on ideas for what the next system might be.
Thanks, Shuhei Yoshida
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone above the age of 12 that owns a Wii U is an utter loser and or retarded pedophile. A garbage console with subpar hardware, no 3rd party support, gets 2-3 game a year, sells happy meal toys. I mean it just sad how pathetic the Wii U is. Even the LunchBox Done renders it obsolete.
You sir are stupid for judging something that you have very little knowledge of . Calling anything a “retarderd pedophile” is absolute stupidity, Microsof would be more of a pedophile since it stocks you through thier Xboxone camera, and Nintendo doesnt need heavy 3rd party support like Microsoft and Sony do, Becuase Nintendo is original and creative, made for people who like to have fun and enjoy rel videogames
If Nintendo doesn’t “need” 3rd parties, explain why Wii U isn’t selling gangbusters?
I wonder what it’s going to be!
It’s gonna be Wii Pii
nope the NEW Wii U!
I hope it’s awesome :)

VR is a useless gimmick which Nintendo is ripping off from
Nintendo already did Virtual Reality type of hardware. Its called the Virtual Boy. So everyone is minnicking them then.
Nope, Nintendo didn’t pioneer virtual reality. It started in the 1860’s when 360-degree art through panoramic murals began to appear. An example of this would be Baldassare Peruzzi’s piece titled, Sala delle Prospettive.

Thank you. No offense to anyone, but it gets really old when everyone assumes Nintendo invented pretty much everything. Even more old hearing everyone call people copy cats all time as if Nintendo is always the first people to come up with these ideas.
Yeah, I especially hate those commentss
comments*
Didn’t Sony create something that Nintendo Fanboys took credit for Nintendo for?
I remember the Move was actually in development BEFORE the Wii, Nintendo does invent their own stuff but sometimes, Sony or Microsoft uses them as bait to test the market for the products before they begin making their own.
And yet took years to launch after Wii which BTW was conceived almost immediately after GameCube so I’m sure Nintendo was the first of the three to thought of the idea before the rest copycat each other and Nintendo to get that popular/hype money Nintendo Wii was cashing in.
Lol, leave it to you.
Too bad the invented your save files, comfortable control held by two hands,motion control, gyroscopic game play, 3d gameplay, streetpass, a console that’s handheld, a platformer, an expansive world, and even the first handeheld. Well i guess you can say that nintendo didnt event the camera on the Xbox that watches you, but NIntendo cares for your privacy
>They didn’t invent save files, Genesis did
>Subjectivity
>They didn’t invent motion control, gyro, or 3D gameplay.
>They didn’t invent the first handheld, or platformer
>What’s your definition of “expansive”, or the first handheld
? If Nintendo cares for our privacy why did Nintenpedophiles manage to get nude shots of children’s shlongs and whatnot
Neat, though it wasn’t brought to the digital age until Oculus and Nintendo.
You do realize Nintendo tried the VR long before now right? How they’re ripping VR off when they were one of the earliest companies to try it? Dumbass.
They aren’t the first to try it. Virtual reality was a thing decades before the Virtual Boy
Did I say they’re the first or one of the earliest in entertainment to try it? Read, dumbass. Read!
Yes you did. Jesus, like I told you yesterday you seriously need to reread what you write, because that is exactly what you said.
“they were one of the earliest companies to try it” No, they weren’t. What the hell is so hard to understand about that. They weren’t even the first gaming company to use it.
In entertainment you fool.
It IS in entertainment. What’s your point?
In 1996 a guy named Thomas A. Furness III made a flight game with VR.
In 1968 Ivan Sutherland, with the help of Bob Sproull, created the first virtual reality and augmented reality head-mounted display system, The Sword of Damocles.
In 1977 one of the notable hypermedia and virtual reality systems was the Aspen Movie Map.
1966* for the Thomas one
I can read, you’re the only dumb ass around here who never knows his ass from his elbow. Nintendo were not the earliest console companies to use VR… TRY AGAIN. You didn’t even specifically say console companies, you said companies in general which is so far from the truth.
Little do people know, Sega was developing VR devices years before Nintendo and they actually were using VR in their arcade machines a year before the Virtual Boy was even released.
Sega were also the ones who pioneered motion controls further into gaming with their Arcade game Hang On, the Sega Megadrive and the Sega Dreamcast. So you’re wrong about that also, and I know I’ve already been over that with you before. You’d think you would learn and stop living in this delusional Nintendo bubble you’ve created for yourself.
Of course just like every fact thrown at you that disproves what you say, you’ll ignore it. Be my guest to look this crap up yourself and actually learn something for once.
Are you sure? Because I said one of the earliest companies IN ENTERTAINMENT to use such technology which wasn’t ready in its time.
You never said anything about entertainment dumbass. You have the tendency to declare Nintendo as god and anything they do is a creation. Wake up from dreamland and realize something called ‘knowledge’ and ‘acceptance’ stranga.
That could be cool! I would love to try Mario in my eyes :P
There is a video where it simulates you as mario in first person perspective on an air ship. Check it out
1. You reported this long ago
2. Clickbait much?
3. This is normal, Nintendo are already planning the next handheld, Sony are working on the Playstation 5, Xbox, probably nothing since they blow and won’t make it to next gen
This was in a recent new interview with Miyamoto, it’s ALSO where sickr got the news for the next Mario game being on next gen. How is it clickbait when all the info you need is already in the headline? Joke’s on you pal
You know MS has tons of money and the Xbox One is currently outselling the 360 in the same timeframe?
The 360 that sold less then the Ps3 and wii.
360 consistently outsold PS3 during the first few years lol
PS5 and NextBox might be streaming consoles from what I’ve heard.
I just hope Nintendo makes their next gen console tough enough so developers won’t bitch and still add streaming features in the future for Devs to use.
No matter how powerful Nintendo could be, the third rate party always answers to cheap “dumb” money from stupid people who buy consoles for graphical power and nothing else. I don’t care about that greedy party anymore and Nintendo needs to make new friends instead of going back to the same fuckers who screwed them because they’re too scared and lazy as shit to build quality games anymore.
Please no more gimmicks.
hopefully a console that ditches the wii name and brand once and for all and get back in the game.
As long as they make something along the lines of GCN mentality that would be great. Just no kiddy hardware looks like the GCN and it’ll confirmed be sell well
I don’t think they will. There is an old article somewhere where they talk about the mistakes they made with the Wii U and that they are going to try to aim to be more on par with the other consoles next time around in every aspect from online to hardware.
I tried to find it for you but I know it’s probably over a year old. So good luck digging through google for it, but I’m certain they said this a while back.
Word.
I agree about the Wii name. Sure, it lets them name stuff like Amiibo, and they still use Wiimotes, but I cant tell you how many times I’ve heard people say, “I have the old version of the Wii, bot the new one” when the Wii U is a separate console. The added U just creates confusion for casual and non-gamers.
Yeah… I want a more original name!
Maybe a UNES?
Unsuprising. After they release their new console, they always start planing for their next console, including console design and prototype name + retail name (Dolphin for Gamecube, Revolution for Wii.) I assume that it will be released in 2017/2018 as that 5-6 years is the usual time frame between Nintendo Consoles…
I hope that they have a normal controller, at least 3 quarters as good as the Gamecube controller and a good launch line up, including less game droughts that the Wii U had suffered last year and a bit of this year…
NOTE-I don’t hate the Gamepad. I love the Gamepad. I hope they have a normal controller, so the Developers and some gamers will stop whining about it. The Gamepad is great for off t.v play, Drawing on Miiverse and Using the Internet Browser/Watching Youtube.(Like I am now…)
I think either in 2015 or 2016 (most likely) at E3, Nintendo will announce the next generation console for a release date in 2017/18.
not ready for next gen
Pingback: Nintendo è già al lavoro sul prossimo hardware - Another Castle
Nintendo Commander console going as planned…
Quadraxis spin off launch game? XD
Of course, I need to avenge myself…
Well, it’s at least nice that Nintendo is casually going about their business rather than listening to all the “experts” who think they should go 3rd party.
That being said, they need a home run with the next one. They have money up to their necks, but another slow-starting console won’t cut it very well.
Bunch of nonsense that always was, I mean every company has suffered from losses these past years in the gaming industry, but none have been enough for these companies to completely drop their system yet. This isn’t a Sega situation we’re talking about here.
Based on that retarded logic, Sony, Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo should all just put their games on PC’s because of how much the market has changed recently. None of these systems are selling anything like they used to, so that same retarded logic could be applied to everyone.
The PS4 and X1 are selling much faster than last gen…
Except they still failed to outsell Wii’s own histortic record breaking sales pace. 20+ million a year? Not even PS4 couldnt reach that height that quickly out of hype.
PS4 is outselling Wii right now, actually. lol
Did it reach 20+ million yet? Nope. lol And will PS4 sell 20+ million a year for 3 consecutive years like Wii did? Nope. lol
Why not try reading GWS 2015 idiot? The facts are right there
And what is that? Don’t call me an idiot if its something I never heard of and let me guess…its another VGChart website?
You don’t know what’s GUINESS. WORLD. RECORD?
Hardly know about it.
But what’s your point? Nintendo fans always bash PS4 for only selling well because of casuals, yet Nintendo’s best selling consoles of all time were only because of casuals. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Wii and DS, games like Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 were so awesome! But aren’t you guys being hypocrites when bashing PS4? :p And wasn’t the Wii dying off only after 2011, when the casuals moved to iPhones and stuff?
I have never complained about PS4 even once nor ever saw a Nintendo fan (IF EVER EXPOSED AT ALL) said such thing. Xbots, definitely. I wanted to buy one but ATM, the only game on PS4 interests me for purchase is GTA5 and maybe Infamous but that’s it. I’m waiting for more better gaming options before spending $400 on a PS4 to stand alongside my Wii U. I know the Wii lost its popularity around 2011 because of the mobile gaming market grabbing all of the casuals and also Wii’s momentum of great games was dying out phasing for Wii U’s release.
Sorry Stranga, but the Wii did not sell 20+ million consecutively, like you said. And the Wii was already irrelevant at the last quarter of its life while the PS360 were blossoming
By the time mid-2010 began, approximately 60-65 million Wii’s were sold globally, thats at least 20 million a year since 2006-2007 right there. Only in 2011 the sales started to slow down.
Considering the quality of their current work, if Nintendo get the branding and marketing right and appeal to third parties they could be on to a winner.
With the majority of their big hitters now released or due in 2015, I wonder when they will release their next console, considering each console normally has a five year cycle! I don’t believe they could wait another three years.
One word– fUsion
The next system will either be nintendo is back, or nintendo is dead…. forever and crap.
Competition, strong hardware and all standard features. NO GIMMICKS!!! Forget about the casuals and the wiitarded kids that make nintendo look pathetic and be bad. Don’t put wii in the name……. Release more games from more franchises like you used to.
fire iwata, reggie and more upper management, with them none of this will happen and we will live in wiitardland forever. Nintendo can’t live on like this anymore, they are almost irrelevant. They had the best year and still are irrelevant because of what they do.
Wii U and wii were just awful. Wii u is just a mistake, it’s going to take a lot for me to think more of it. The 2016 line up will have to be just as good as next years. In 2017 or maybe 2018 is when the next console will probably come out. They have to really bring out the games, and if it dies after next year with wii u games, the system was not worth it.
Before this year wii u was at an F 30% now its’ at an f 50%, (the only reason why it’s even at 50% right now is because some of the games but mainly because my brother has a xbox one…… i really had no clue how terrible that system is till now.) I don’t have hope for the damn thing or nintendo at the matter. The system to me will probably end up being 55% maybe 60%.
If it does get a 70% in the end, nintendo done something right. I guess next year’s e3 is the breaking point for it. EIther it will be 55% or go towards of trying to achieve that 70%
nes 90% snes 95% n64 75% gamecube 83% wii 15% (games brought it up to 50%) wi u 30% (games might bring it up to 60%, that’s what it will probably end up with to me)
overall this gen is like ps4 90% (just needs better exclusives) wii u 50% (the thing is lucky to be that) xbox brick 40% (i don’t see it moving)
It’s really easy for Nintendo to make a great console, but for some reason they refuse to do it and instead try to make useless gimmicks to rely on
Useless gimmicks, it’s called:
Trying to make something new instead of the same boring never developing gameplay for all eternity…
They only need to increase their marketing by 1900000000 million times and edpand their game development facilities…
So how has Nintendo helped me in any way with their gimmicks? Wii remote helps me to smash the TV, Wii U GamePad let’s me watch porn in my bedroom… Oh wait, it can’t even connect that far, 3D viewing lets me be “more immersed” while draining my battery life. The clamshell design WAS a good idea, I admit, but everything else was USELESS gimmicks
Yeah why in 2008 didn’t Nintendo think of making the gamepad work more than 25ft away? Also why didn’t they think of other gamepads? Why didn’t they work on making the console work without the gamepad? Why didn’t they think of all that in 2008? That was stupid. Also stupid for not having other controllers work on Wii mode. And stupid for not putting GameCube inserted in Wii U and stupid for not thinking of the GameCube adapters installed on the console. And stupid for taking too long to make Starfox and making it a last minute thing. Good console but was too stupid to give it more of everything in 2008 knowing Sony and Microsoft was coming with next generation consoles back in 2008. Also stupid in thinking 8gigs for storage was enough knowing games with better technology takes up more gigs. But was too stupid to think about that in 2008 for a 2012 console. Nintendo needs to think PS5 for next generation not PS4. Wii U proved that doesn’t work.
porn?. if i wanted to watch porn, i would buy an XXXbox ;)
useless gimmicks is what make the world go round XD
Your own fault if you swing your Wiimote to destroy your house, the Wii U is not for porn and 3D adds depth…
“depth”
“yoshida” likes to have sex with the gamepad…
yes, commander. they need to increase their marketing, but what if the product is not appealing to the consumer?. sometimes i think is the problem with the wii u, it is not appealing to most players out there.
Because of those traitors that abandoned it before it even got a chance…
Yeah they’re really retatrded no doubt.
I spelled retarded wrong……
I really hope they will keep the gamepad, because it is a great idea. Maybe they should make the coding easier, so that third party babies won’t cry so much =P
I hope they aren’t focusing on PS4 for their next gen. Thinking like that was stupid to begin with.
Stop bringing in the PS4, our empire doesn’t even care about what they are doing…
He loves starting wars
It’s hilarious to me when I see stories like this and people are surprised or excited in any way. The ‘next’ hardware is always in development and was in development before the Wii U was even released and the next next…. and the next! lol, this is how a business works if it wants to survive. There is never a moment when the next thing isn’t in the works.
Hope Nintendo makes the right moves with their next console. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO7nzr3wx30
Anyone with a brain already knows Nintendo NEVER stops focusing on their future.
Pingback: Nintendo is Already Working on Their Next Home Console
My biggest wish for Nintendo’s next console is that it will have enough power to shut up everybody who keeps bitching about Nintendo’s consoles being weak and underpowered. I want their next console to wipe out the competition and make everyone think that the Playstation and Xbox is yesterday’s news. Nintendo has the ability to do just that.
me bring Naruto Storm 4 to the Wii U https://www.change.org/p/bandai-namco-games-please-bring-naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-4-to-the-nintendo-wii-u
I am curious what their next console will be like.
I’m just throwing this out there but it would be cool if Nintendo created a virtual reality system that completely manipulates the brain but not the the body to thinking it is in a virtual world so that’s what you would see, basically you would be in a new world.
Yes… I’ve been watching to many animes…
Not really news people….nintendo always states that ideas already begin right after a console is out..
