The Wii2–Have You Seen It? Maybe You Have….

The future of the Wii is an object shrouded in mystery–what new features will it have? What can we do with it? Will there be any decent games released for once, and will they finally, FINALLY, manage to look as good as PS3 and Xbox 360 titles?

The answer to any of these questions is the same. We don’t really know. But a recent tech demo has given us something to play with. Headed by Johnny Lee, it seems that they’ve found a way to incorporate head tracking movements into a system, including the upcoming game Boom Blox, before that feature was removed. The fact that it existed to BE removed in the first place suggests firmly that it could be brought back. Even more interesting is a virtual whiteboard for use with the Wii, as well as a whiteboard with multi-touch capability akin to an iPhone.

Add these all together and you get some truly mystifying concepts. Shooters where you actually have to duck behind 3-D objects? A version of Elder Scrolls where you walk through the fields and turn your head left and right to look for the next abandoned fort? Lots of possibilities, and we may find out what Nintendo does with all these elements fairly soon.

Until then, stick with the Nintendo trivia on Kwanzoo.
