Reggie says big Wii 'surprise' coming in September photo

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?

DON'T EVEN GET ME STAHTED

Screw you, Reggie. I am tired of the hype. The only way you can validate yourself is if you are announcing something like achievements for the Wii.

My guess is WiiWare and the ability to run games from SD - maybe a generic USB hard drive. It can't take that long to port a few old PC games to the Wii.

My dream would be a OS overhaul supporting folders and some kind of online community system. If the online system was in place and visible, devs couldn't ignore it. Also, Monkey Island.

New clothes options for our Miis? Perhaps arms? I am detecting lameness in September, but I love to be proved wrong, Nintendo!

Now that I think about it, its probably going to be something like DVD support or different colored wii remotes.

Wow, TWO comments about how only post-menopausal mothers own Wiis! One more and it's a legitimate trend!!

Like the two other people in this thread so far who don't take every opportunity to regurgitate old Wii jokes, I too hope for beefed up online capabilities. Though a new non-party game would be sufficient as well.

Maybe they'll tell us they're naming their console after a euphemism for URINE!! HAHA!! That would be HILARIOUS!! I'M HILARIOUS!! Especially hiding in these internets!

Somebody love me...

Wii Kid Icarus would be nice.

Not gonna happen though, this is the company that brings Miyamoto to show us fucking Wii fit and the long dead franchise announced was Contra 4.

D'uh. You guys think about this way to hard. The "suprise" in September will be the first NeoGeo title on the VC.
Anything less would be uncivilized.

I'm bored of this. Their surprises are always so lame now. I just want stuff. I want them to show me stuff. Hype isn't stuff and September? You think you can make a hype train last that long on such little fuel? Screw you.

So really, I would like to see a worldwide launch of Brawl but that won't happen. So I hope the surprise is that they won't be forgetting the core gamer.

Different Colored Wiis?
A game that lets you use two wiimotes at the same time for 1 player?

Seriously, I just hope that, whatever it is, it's actually FOR WII OWNERS.
Not people THINKING of getting one. eg. If it's DVD playback, but which requires purchasing a new wii, then I'll be cheesed. If it's better colours than just 'white', but thus requires purchasing a new wii, then I'll be cheesed. If it's a punch-idiots-on-the-internet-through-their-own-screens button, but which requires purchasing a new wii... well, then I'll do it... but I'll still be cheesed.

That said, dvd playback (if done by a firmware update) would be spiffy.
As would wiiware, ds downloads (hey. they're already doing it for geometry wars, so it's not impossible or anything!), or especially being able to *directly* access channels from the SD card (have you seen how big paper mario is on the VC? over 200 blocks!).
