Thinking about E3 2011 Part 2: Nintendo's new system announcement is going to be REALLY huge
I didn't watch Konami's event last night(5P.M. PST but 1A.M. here) but I do have a suspicion as to what's happening. It's actually the same suspicion I have about Sonic Generations' lack of announcement for a Nintendo home console.
Absolutely no software has been announced yet for Nintendo's new machine and this suggests to me that the reason is that noone's allowed to announce software for it yet. Sonic Generations isn't coming to the Wii because according to SEGA it's for HD formats. The new machine is said to be in HD so it makes sense that SEGA aren't announcing the format. They're simply not allowed to yet. It's the only plausible explanation.
Konami's conference seemed like it was missing some very big Nintendo related announcements and this could be because they're not allowed to announce anything right now.
Will they announce something? Well... going by patterns we can probably expect a brief video clip where Hideo Kojima briefly comments on the new Nintendo hardware when it's announced.
In any case, stuff like this is secretly stockpiling and will be let loose in a huge outburst when the big reveal happens next Tuesday.

What I would like from Nintendo for the Wii's successor (Part 4)
Make every non-interactive thing skippable.
This covers a lot of things! Those company logos at boot up, the cut scenes, dialogue, tutorial messages... It's just being considerate to the player to let them skip things like this or not even have those things interrupt gameplay at all unless the player wants to stop and check things out for themself.
I want Nintendo to have this as some kind of policy that third parties have to comply with. This consideration for the player does exist today but not as much as I'd like.

MotionPlus and Wii's Successor - my own "what if..."
I had an idea about something... Now there's no mention of this anywhere and there's no rumour or announcement - this is just a thought of mine. I was just wondering what if the Wii's successor was MotionPlus exclusive? Meaning you couldn't use a Wii remote that isn't MotionPlus enabled?
Imagine that! It would be a very bold move wouldn't it? The kind that would stir an uncomfortable feeling or two. Internet forums and comment sections of blogs would explode. But say what if it was something beneficial in the long run? It could be something comparable with the idea that modern day game consoles don't use a dial up connection for internet services.
I dunno, I gotta sit down and think about this one. I never even used MotionPlus before.

What I would like from Nintendo for the Wii's successor (Part 3)
NO LOAD TIMES!
Make this a priority! Make starting a game as hassle free as it used to be (there's more than load times that get in the way but let's talk about one thing at a time). We didn't have loading delays as a plaguing nuisance when we played games on cartridges and even the disc based Gamecube loaded games very quickly. Wii was great too but there are many many examples of games on the Wii that have stupid loading delays. The 3DS is horrible for loading delays.
Thing is people don't complain about loading delays enough. At this stage games that load very quickly ought to be praised a lot more.

How will Wii's Successor store data?
Just wondering about this. If it's going to be more powerful than the current competition then how will it store data? Will games unfortunately have to be installed from disc? Will there be a hard drive? How much data can it store?
Come to think of it what kind of media will the games come on? I mean what kind of DVD/whatever will it be stored on and what capacity will it be? Will it allow games to load quickly? For that last part I hope so!
This post is all questions but I am starting to genuinely think about this successor console that's being shown soon.

Thinking about the rumour of a controller with its own screen.
As long as the price is right for the controller this sounds like an ok idea. But hey I'm saying if and ONLY if the price is right. The screen itself better be well lit too! I don't want it to be like another Game Boy Advance screen! Every single one of those screens be it nonlit or frontlit were terrible! It might work though, who knows? But I'm not too psyched about it.

Project Café, or whatever Nintendo is calling the Wii successor is real and playable at E3 2011
Alright alright I'm a believer now.
Nintendo had an investor's meeting lately where they talked about the successor to the Wii and they have a pdf on their Japanese website that said it'll be playable at this year's E3 and that it'll be released next year.
I guess I should start getting excited now? Well, ok I might as well but I'm not going to leave the Wii behind right now(just like the way I'm not leaving the DS behind right now). I honestly hope that this new system will be everything the Wii was and more.
And yes some of the rumours are still awful!
