More details and playable system to arrive at E3.
Along with their fiscal earnings report, Nintendo released a memo regarding the Wii's successor, set to launch in 2012. The simple note is similar to one released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2010.
The brief statement notes that the system will be playable at this year's E3 in Los Angeles, which runs from June 7 - 9. The company will announce more specifications at that time. While the system is expected to launch in 2012, Nintendo did not include it in earnings forecasts for the fiscal term ending March 31, 2012.
