Is a new Wii Console coming out anytime soon?

Question

Hi guys.
I'm seriously considering getting a wii to lessen the boredom of my new found vow to start exercising. I know the Wii console has been out for quite a while. I just wanted to ask your opinions on if you think a new Wii is going to come out anytime soon. I would really be kinda pissed if I got one this summer and then a new one came out in September or something. Has there been any serious rumors or reports of a new wii coming out or anything? Or you can just base it on your personal experience of video game consoles etc...

Also, with the goal to lose weight, I wanted to know if you recommend any particular game(s) for me to get that would help. Thanks and have a good day!

Answer 1

Don't listen to a single word that the article that Bree posted - it's two years old, and nothing but rumors and speculation. The official word directly from Nintendo, as of about two weeks ago, is that there are absolutely no plans to "upgrade" the Wii in the near future.

As for games to help you lose weight...I can't recommend any. The best way to lose weight is proper diet and a lot of aerobic exercise. The Wii certainly can't do anything about that first part, and most of the fitness games focus more on basic flexibility, balance, and a little bit of strength training. And don't be fooled - if you're the kind of person who can't commit to a regular exercise routine, it's extremely unlikely that you'll find yourself committing to any sort of active game on the Wii. People buy the Wii Fit all the time thinking it'll magically cure them, but then they stop using it after a few weeks because they haven't magically lost 30 pounds.

Well there is a black wii that is out now. I am pretty sure the features are the same as the white one but it looks pretty cool. A couple of games I would recommend is Wii Fit Plus and also one that comes with the wii is wii sports.

Answer 3

Buying a wii for weight loss is pretty pointless there expensive and so is wii fit, i got bored of wii fit within the first month, but if your buying it for games then you should get one, mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are both excellent games mario sunshine is also outstanding. However if you want the latest nintendo gadget wait and get the new DS the games are going to be in 3D (looks really cool)

Answer 4

Unlikey. Nintendo as reported that they are aiming for a 2012 launch date for their next console. As for exercising video games, get those - Wii in good shape Plus (with board) Shaun White skiing - international excursion Wii activities motel crimson steel 2
