Nintendo Wii Might Be Powered by IBM & ATI

It seems that today is a console rumors day, and next in line, after the 'tricky PS3', is the upcoming Nintendo Wii.


You can rest assured, nobody did something wrong. There are just lots and lots of debates going on several gaming forums, and all have one sole subject - Nintendo Wii and what it conceals under its case, informs Mega Games web site.

It seems that the next Nintendo gaming console will feature next-generation graphics, an improved sensor bar, an onboard physics processing unit (PPU) and many other AO rated games. Nobody believed, at least when everything started, all these rumors, but someone, probably the manufacturer, hunted down all the postings and removed them every time.

Now, I can say that it might just be a very clever marketing strategy, or that Nintendo has a mole…

According to these stories, Nintendo will organize in August an entire event dedicated to Wii gaming console - Space World Event 2006. During this happening, the manufacturer will reveal all the succulent details regarding its console.

13 other games will be released during this event, "including a Miyamoto title, a spy title from Zoonami, apparently rated AO, 'MGS 4: Guns of the Patriot's and a Deus Ex title from THQ. The same rumors claim that Nintendo will offer AO games a new home on the Wii platform", the site also writes.

But, besides all the future games, it is said that Wii will benefit from a one-time collaboration between IBM and ATI. The specialists are saying that 'a complicated system' might trigger several problems for game developers, but everyone prefers to wait for the official statement or comments.
