Wii 2 rumors: Be cautious
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo’s E3 2011 conference won’t be taking place until June 7, so we’re going to have to put up with Wii 2 rumors for about another and a half. Having said that, it’s time for another “be cautious” post.
The first round of Wii 2 speculation was fair. The rumors were coming from sources such as Game Informer, EDGE, and IGN. Personally, I consider these publications to be reputable and I would hope that they would be writing their articles after careful consideration of the information that was provided to them.
Lately, though, a handful of extra rumors have come from, frankly, no-name sites, and I am very doubtful that they truly have any (reliable) insider contacts. I understand that what I said isn’t entirely fair, but it’s generally best to trust sources that have actually established themselves in the industry and have some credibility. Even over the past 24 hours or so, I’ve seen a handful of articles written which claim that the author has reliable sources, yet that alone isn’t enough to convince me that a story is legitimate.
So I’ll be filtering the types of rumors on Nintendo Everything that I consider to be potentially true and are published by trusted sources in the gaming scene. I hope you guys are also cautious when reading up on speculation not found on the site.
Oh, and about Retro Studios hiring new staff – please don’t make too much of that. Companies are always interesting in bringing in new talent, and considering Donkey Kong Country Returns wrapped up in November, it is only logical that Retro is adding staff and will be working on a new title – if they already haven’t that is.

– A few teen orphans wearing protective suits survive

This information comes from Atari’s Jonathan Moses…
“My memory of it was ‘I need to stop this bug from coming down the screen.’ There was no story or reason. For the time, that was great. You meet up with Maisy, who has this almost magical power over flowers (and) is able to grow in what is otherwise this irradiated wasteland. You follow Maisy through this world and protect her. In this game, as you kill the different bugs, they drop everything from gun turrets and walled barriers to power-ups for the player. There are centipedes, and then there is ‘The Centipede’.”
