I know this is a bit premature, but what would you guys like to see as the successor to the Wii U?

Tablet/No Tablet, another New controller?

Specs?

3D?

Joint Venture/Merger with another big name company?

Super Wii? 3D Cube? Super Cube? Ultra Wii?

Drop the Wii brand?

Have I missed anything?

So what do you guys think for the Big N's next console, I know it's early but give it a go, what would you like to see next?

No Tablet, but it can have Wii U GamePad Functionality

Amazing Specs, yes, I want it to be a powerhouse so that it isn't crushed like it might this new gen(can't really tell though cuz it will be far different in terms of hardware by the time this new one comes out)

No Merger...ever

Drop the Wii brand, however keep backwards compatibility with Wii and Wii U.

The new platform can be called Nintendo Cafe, because Nintendo is trying to recover in terms of Social Gameplay, and Cafes are a good social hotspot. There will be Miiverse, the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo TVii, and an upgraded Nintendo Network infrastructure. With it is a unified account system between Cafe and Nintendo's next handheld. There will be less restriction and better filtering so that rangers can post whatever in Miiverse, and based on the account setting of a kid, their age will filter stuff out.

Yeah, oh, and its successors would be named Cafe X, Cafe Y, and Cafe Z...then a new platform branding would begin...

Incrementally beefier hardware, unless some ridiculous breakthrough in graphics technology is achieved between now and then. Drop the Wii brand, go back to Nintendo Entertainment System 5. Keep the gamepad, keep the remotes, keep the pro controller. I can't think of anything else, I'm sure there will be another paradigm shift in control methods in the next few years or so, especially with motion sensing electronics becoming easier to produce and more accurate with better resolution. Who knows

Drop the Wii brand and do something that's the same as the competitors, as good as Nintendo's innovation is, people don't like them for it.

-Drop the Wii name, first and foremost

-Powerful/competitive hardware

-New, innovative controller, but don't let the costs of its development compromise or take away from the console's power

-True account systems where your digital purchases and VC content are tied to your account instead of the hardware

-Create amazing incentives for third-parties that will have them flocking to the new console

deffinitly should droped the wii name. hurt alot more than help.

hardware seems fine this time around, nintendo seems to have planned on hiding customization to have a consul ruffly on par. xbox720 current specs are ruffly on par, PS4 is likly to lead unless they cant reach its max potential wich is mostly likly to happen to PS4(where wiiU buff memory and xbox okay, PS4 poor memory archetecture come in)

VC seems fine.

new controler should be expected. do expect wiiU to start comming with wiimote part way through its life cycle, dont kill any old controlers off.

life after the Wii U for Nintendo will be either being taken over by Apple or just making Mario games for everyone else.

[albatross]

I don't think Apple would want to take over Nintendo, they have already crushed Nintendo in the casual gaming/Kids gaming market so no real need to buy them.

Nintendo can be the biggest producer of video games and that is where their future lies now. They need to invest heavily in new IP's and create more development teams in my opinion.

Nintendo Cafe? NES 5?
Yuck!

I want to see what it will be about. I also want to know what kind of controller they would use.

Nintendo Cafe, while as boring as it sounds, actually makes sense. Cafes are great for socialization, which Nintendo can fully achieve with Nintendo Cafe

Okay.
So, a Nintendo restaurant. Plus, the Wii U is already Project Cafe. Would be very confusing for consumers.

Sounds like a lot of
Hooplah!

Not everyone knew that it was the codename, a codename can be different from the real name, and no, it's not a restaurant, it's a social hub, like Miiverse, which will provide a new array of media connections that Wii U doesn't have
