Reggie says big Wii 'surprise' coming in September photo

#MYSTERY! #Nintendo #OMG poniez! #wii

In a recent interview on GameHead, Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime teased an upcoming "surprise" for Wii owners. Using the same breath he used to talk about the upcoming "Check Mii Out Channel" like it's something you should care about, he reveals that something else is slated for the very near future.

"The surprise is coming," he teased, "by the end of September."

Reggie thinks we'll like this surprise, but I'm not so sure. We're talking about the company whose idea of a cool reveal at E3 was a "six-minute abs" videogame ... don't even get me started.

If you were to wake up to find your Wii's disc tray gently glowing, what kind of surprise would you like to find lurking inside?

OMG, TEH MEGATON LIVES!1!!

bluemeep

I just pictured Reggie saying that, tittering gleefully and then covering his mouth with his hands coyly as he looked side to side.

robotplague

A surprise back at E3 would have been nice too. I wouldn't be shocked if the WiiWare channel is launched in September with a handful of titles.

RoyRP216

maybe it's another peripheral that doesn't actually do anything.

Rockvillian

Ears for our Miis?

nsolo1717

Online capabilities for the VC catalog, that would make Wii the ultimate, but it will never happen and that makes me a sad panda=(

CrackaSlim

Sonic in brawl.

Mauer

Motion Controls that work, and/or dont flat out suck.

Professor Pew

Nintendogs demo with waggle motion controlled tails?

nsolo1717

Online capabilities for the VC catalog, that would make Wii the ultimate, but it will never happen and that makes me a sad panda=(

eakius

Sonic in brawl sounds likely, but maybe it's just them formally announcing brawl will be online.

Jim Sterling

Maybe it will be a videoga ....

Nah, that's just TOO crazy.

groudaxius

HDD for Wii, improved Wii a la DS Lite, good games after Q4 2007?

BlindsideDork

Colored Wiimotes?

Corvus

DS download channel or DVD channel

Vader582

The surprise? Third-party support! wokka wokka wokka!

Tubatic

A "patch" for WiiPlay/WiiSports that makes it streamingcrazyonline-arcadestyle/DS Wifi style.

I'd love it to be a game, but I know this dance by now

Cowzilla3

It could also be cocks.

JonDarkwood

I won't give a shit until something lives up to the hype.

Tubatic

Oh Snap Corvus!

Yeah. That would be good. Gimme one of those too. I have a DS that could you some anti-social demo downloadin'

joeisremy

BOOO besides snake keep 3rd party characters out of smash brothers. One is enough

maybe it'll be that they are getting rid of friend codes and setting up something more like live.

liarliar17

I'd like super-mario-wii-ball-in-a-cup!

hardwareguy

After buying and beating Prime 3 I probably won't turn on my Wii again until December when Smash Bros comes out, so I guess I'll get my surprise a few months late.

Tristero

Dr. Mario Wii online, please, please. If I were dying that would be my Make A Wish.

RICHARD BLOCKER

Vibrating penis cozy attatchment for porn sites?

Magesx

Super Mario Bowling!

brad drac

Wii menu now available in beige as well as white!!!!

bhive01

I'm hoping it's a better online system with online capabilities for multiplayer VC titles and Friend list's.

What?

A guy can dream can't he?

slorojo

Lets see, I could go for:

-online VC support
-telling me smash bros will be online, and that the implementation won't suck
-hell any online capabilities that don't suck!

notice a theme here nintendo?

RTYPE1124

ZOMG Metal Gear Solid 4 for teh Wii's. You heard it here first ;)

zardoz

Mario Party 9.

winojesus

wii menstural pads for all the moms buying the fucking thing

I'm betting on some sort of exclusive that nobody saw coming. Maybe FFXIII or a new GTA or a new Castlevania ... something along those lines.

A hard drive seems inevitable, but it doesn't seem like Nintendo's style to fiddle with the hardware only a year into the cycle.

Perhaps friend codes are going bye-bye? That would be nice.

F Whipple

Custer's Revenge for the VC!!!

Kotua

Upgraded everybody votes channel?
Wii Exercise?

bhive01

Wii Menopause - for all those aging women who are buying the Wii.

parrothead

No Friend Codes? No that would make playing on line too Easy!

Snaileb

And think.. still no one wants to buy my Wii.

WTF?

Mister Disco

What would I like as the surprise? Let's see... Announce Animal Crossing for the Wii or a new DS Metroid title that picks up where Fusion left off. That's what I'd want.

What we'll get? Probably "Wii Sports 2".

joeisremy

some sort of thing you connect to your wii that lets you play your old cartridge games.

lowercaseluke

Animal Xing Wii, blaters.

Arugala9

A new Zelda game.

aupton

The best thing they could offer is a firmware update to support the lower end of the HD spectrum... 720p.. Contrary to popular belief, the hardware can support it... the main limitation is the amount of memory alloted for textures.

Compression is a hell of a drug... They should try it!

DarkTravesty

another piece of plastic that you put your controller in!

Altair78

A non-party game... or maybe the CSI game on the Wii will come with a microscope attachment.

That would be a surprice. I lame surprise, but a surprise nonetheless.

DM_L

Five new tropical colors?!

winojesus

maybe reggie is going to hand out suck jobs for all the hardcore gamers, having recently fucked each and every one of them!

Nick Chester

50+ comments, 4 "serious" answers. :D You bastards.

Hiltz

I wonder if the announcement will be made at the Tokyo Game Show that's held at the end of September.

I hope it the news isn't anything related to the shallow new Mii channels.
