Because I get bored of mario games so quickly. It's not like I've never bought or played one.

Huh? This discussion isn't about gameplay. It's about graphics.

I think they will need to step up their game on graphics, its a really big thing nowadays, and the wii's were pretty bad. Although saying that, games that used a more 'cartoony' style were pretty good, I really liked Super Mario Galaxy's art style, and if I remember correctly, Red Steel wasn't too bad either.
Also, with the whole social aspect of gaming nowadays, they really should implement something like xbox live, that works across the next console and the DS, perhaps even adding achievement-like things, that could tie in with their 'nintendo club' giving you rewards on their site for doing well in games. Just an idea.

If this is a new console, with a new Mario racing game, and a new Paper Mario, then I am sold

I wouldn't be surprised if they do something for the console and 3D tvs as they are becoming popular now.

Nintendo have always been ahead in sales and (at least in most peoples opinion) gameplay.

They however have always been slightly behind in graphics. But i've always found that since they tend to concentrate on gameplay, i didn't mind that they left the graphics out a bit. This could be the first time they are ahead in both graphics and gameplay!

I worry though that if they go ahead in graphics will they leave out the game quality a bit?

It's been a while since the last post in this thread and there's been some new info on this recently.

Firstly the original Wii has dropped to down in price recently to become the cheapest game console on the market.

Heres a video of the new console that was supposedly leaked.

Heres a quote from this site http://www.fonehome.co.uk/2011/05/19...or-sony-s1-s2/.

Rather than tie us to our HDTVs, the Wii 2 will be able to act as “a lounge-based hub, beaming out gameplay to gamers effectively playing on handheld units with short-range links to the unit,” as Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry section explains it. Interestingly, it’s believed that these controllers will feature six-inch touchscreens built into them, as illustrated by a recently leaked presentation video.

Very interesting and possibly next gen stuff here i think. It can make for a very powerfull handheld unit that (probably i'm guessing) can also be viewed on tv screens.

There are many more rumours and supposed confirmed things too around now.

I really hope it's a handheld controller I hate the wii remote atm. I have xbox 360 and I've started playing with my wii again recently. It needs to be something better than what xbox and ps3 offer right now though.

I know how you feel, and luckily Nintendo seem to be heading in that direction with this new console.

Playing with the Wii remote always felt unnatural to me. I never totaly got used to it
