Going to call BS on that one for now. Only site to report it is N-Europe, no big sites have got a sniff of that yet, but N-Europe has it? Nintendo to release a new Wii right now would be a monster mistake. Repackaging it with a new game or what not could happen, but the core system itself will be the same.

I think Nintendo has to come up with an option that applies to current Wii owners, not just a new SKU...otherwise millions of people are hosed and cannot effectively use the new Wii Ware...This is a big deal, I've seen links on the Yahoo front page about Wii limitations...

It is my favorite game for the wii at the moment. Awesome 1-4 player puzzle game with co-op also. IMO it's the best game to date actually using the motion controls for gameplay.

That will piss off a lot of current Wii owners and I don't see Nintendo doing that especially when they are gaining some big ground in the console race. Unless they have something for current owners planned.

I think video gamers have proven time and time again nothing will piss them off and they will keep spending their money.

I won't say that's everyone... but there's enough people out there to even the scale.

I agree there...but I do think that Nintendo would have to come up with a solution for the millions of existing Wii owners, otherwise their Wii Ware service is basically useless because people won't want to copy back and forth.
