Nintendo has finally let the cat out of the bag: The Wii 2 is official and there'll be a playable version of the console on show at E3 in June.
However, those hoping to put the item at the top of their Christmas lists are in for a disappointment. It won't be available to buy until 2012.
The confirmation comes from an official statement on Nintendo's investors' website, confirming that the as-yet-unnamed "Wii successor system" will arrive next year.
The statement reads: "Nintendo Co., Ltd has decided to launch in 2012 a system to succeed Wii...we will show a playable model of the new system and announce more specifications at the E3 Expo, which will be held from June 7-9, 2011, in Los Angeles."
New approach
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has also said that Nintendo "would like to propose a new approach to home video game consoles," so expect the Wii successor to have some surprises in store.
However, those surprises are very unlikely to involve 3D gaming, with Iwata adding that "It's difficult to make 3-D images a key feature, because 3-D televisions haven't obtained wide acceptance yet."
It has so far been speculated that the Wii 2 will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 or PS3, will boast HD graphics and will feature a new controller with a playable touchscreen.
It's not long to go before we find out for sure.
