Is The Wii 2 Going To Be Announced?

Sources are claiming that the next Nintendo home console will be announced this Summer at E3. The original Wii launched in 2006 as a white console with motion-sensing capabilities, later getting different colour variants such as black and red in the years that followed. There's been a fairly balanced offering for both hardcore and casual fans thanks to consistently impressive titles like Super Mario Galaxy 2, The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3 and Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, Big Beach Sports respectively, but now with the release of the 3DS things have got somewhat quiet for the console and thus perhaps Nintendo are prepping the launch of another console for 2012. If so, rumour has it this time the graphics will be in HD and the 'Wii 2' will be able to play previous Wii games, DVDs and Blu-Rays as well as its own disc format. The 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo begins on June 6th.
