June will be a big month for Nintendo and Reggie Fils-Aime, CEO of Nintendo of America, has confirmed that they are working on a new home console, the Wii 2. Unfortunately, the new Wii 2 it’s unlikely to support 3D graphics like many had expected. This new announcement will really upset some gamers, specially after the recent release of the Nintendo 3DS and all the 3D televisions hype that has been going on since the end of last year.

Nintendo Wii 2 3D Unlikely
At the moment, and against what other manufacturers think, Reggie Fils-Aime said they still don’t have any plans of a 3D home console.

The reason for this is that people don’t want to wear 3D glasses to play. So until they develop appropriate screens, expect nothing. Also, they will not be putting the system display as they did with their smaller console (3DS). But you never know if Nintendo is saying the truth or perhaps they are only saying it to create confusion between their rivals.

After all, don’t we expect something big every time Nintendo releases a new console?

The company first sends an e-mail to warn users with a message that says that they are using a device to circumvent unauthorized or pirated software. Advises to stop using it again and to immediately remove any unauthorized software from the PS3.

If the user refuses to follow the guidelines, he will be censored and won’t be able to enter the Playstation Network, or Qriocity through their console.

Kinect has become a phenomenon, not only because it involved a new way to play on the Xbox, but it allowed the use of a multiple applications in PC’s and robots in a series of hacks made by different developers.

Now the creator of the PlayStation Move, Sony’s Richard Marks would like something similar happened with his invention. In an interview with Ars Technica, Marks gave indications that there may be device drivers for PC in the future, that would be completely legal. After what happened with the jailbreak of the PS3, there are doubts if anyone would want to try to hack the Move.

Speaking with Ars Technica, Dr. Richard Marks said:

“For too long I said in my talks that we would let more people innovate with the Move. It is a good tool. Is made for the PS3, so it is difficult for us to let go, “Marks said. However, “I’d like to see happen, so that all creative minds in labs and hobbyists can play with it,” he added.

The hacking of the Kinect has brought tons of publicity to the device and has made it much more attractive to users. Maybe Sony expects that something similar will happen with the Move. The idea is to provide all the information possible for developers to create many more things, according to Marks. According to the executive, there would free access to data from the gyroscopes and accelerometers, and access to programs that use the PlayStation Eye to turn that information into 3D controls.

We’re still not sure if the rest of Sony has the same enthusiasm about it.
