Over the past year, there have been numerous rumors of an upcoming Wii 2, one that includes full HD output.
Today, GGS is reporting that Nintendo is indeed creating a Wii 2, one that will feature a Blu-ray drive.
The console will support resolution up to 1080p, and current Wii owners will be able to trade in their console for a slight discount off the new console.
Adding a Blu-ray drive will help Nintendo curb a problem that has long plagued their consoles and handhelds, piracy.
GGS cites a "bashful but reliable source" in Nintendo who says the company is already beginning to manufacture the console, with a 2011 release date eyed.
Finally, the source says Nintendo will not confirm or announce the console until just one month before it's launched to "generate huge publicity and viral marketing."
