While many gamers would debate how much of a surprise the recent Nintendo success is, we see the Wii as a product that managed to tap into an audience that Sony and Microsoft never managed to reach.
Nintendo are selling Wii’s faster than stores can stock them and some may believe that they have no need to replace the Wii just yet, but not everyone has this view and Game Player have the view that Wii 1.5 / 2 will be coming in 2010.
Nintendo have shown with the DS and Gameboy that they like to tweak their products with updated versions for more innovation. The existing Wii is well behind the PS3 and Xbox 360 when it comes to hardware, so just what is needed in Wii 2?
Wii 2 will certainly need more high definition support and even support for DVD and more memory is welcomed, but what would you like to see added to the next Wii? Let’s know in the comments.
Also is Game Player on the mark for a 2010 release date, what’s your expectations? Most of this will depend on Wii 2 / 1.5 being an upgrade or an entirely new console.

I’m a HUGE nintendo fan owning a gameboy, gamecube and DS. but i did not buy the Wii and chose an Xbox 360 instead. this is because i wasn’t happy with the graphics of the Wii, the fact that it lacks home media, and especially the Wii remote and the way most games are played. i MUCH rather prefer the classic joystick over the Wii remote. but it cannot be denied, the game titles and exclusive characters for Nintendo ROCK!!! i really wish to get the next gen on nintendo over that of microsoft and sony because im missing my favourite characters like Link, Samus, Fox and Mario

Chances are I’ll think of more after I submit this, but this would be a GREAT start
I think that one of the best features would be more memory and actual open world games. If you don’t know what that is Shaun White: snowboarding for x-box360 or PS3 is a good example. Also, more definition in the motion sensing. Right now, the wrist flick is the bast way, but I’m looking for the need of a full arm swing.
you know, wii´s graphics ain´t that bad, if you´ve ever played star wars rogue squadron-rebel strike you´d see wii is capable of A FREAKING LOT MORE, indeed its capabilities don´t match those of ps3, so that should be matched in the wii2 along with getting rid of those stupid friend codes. if they should improve something more, i think that would be the wiimote: have the motion plus built in on both wiimote and nunchuck, and the nunchuck should also have rumble and be wireless. also the controllers should be able to be connected to the wii for charging and lastly we should be able to take music from our ipods or cds and put them directly on the wii. Oh and nintendo should make more games like metroid, rogue squad and no more heroes WITHOUT leaving behind their crapy coking mama and those kind of stuff
I think the only thing that the next Nintendo system needs is to upgrade the graphics so that they are at least on par with the XBox 360 or better. The set up they have for the Wii is great and they shouldn’t change a thing except for the graphics and the ability to play DVD, MP3’s as well as CD’s. Forget Blue-Ray and just update the graphics card or else they will miss out on some more great games like Resident Evil 6 or better. Also a bigger hard drive wouldn’t hurt either.
Wii 2 HAS to be HD. this is 2010/11 where we talk about people so Nintendo has the money to move to the 21th century! you can get an HD cable at walmart but the wii 2 has to included in it (sorry of my inglish is weird).
also the memory is not that big at the wii. sure you can buy an sd cart, but the wii2 has to get minus 6000 blocks memory. Sound is good but it can’t be good enough though.
