| Crono said: What would be really bitchin is a USB attachment thats basically an external video card to piggyback onto whats in the Wii already. It would have more RAM, and an extra/better GPU to enable those oh so coveting HD resolutions and shader effects. All games would still support Wii without the attachment, but the new games would have optional eye candy and higher resolutions that would kick on automagically if you have the attachment. Not sure if USB is fast enough to be a passthrough though. I thought they had external video cards already that ran on USB. |
No, it's not fast enough.
Wii is already capable of using shaders, and Nint could just throw in some firmware update to allow devs to ran games on 1280x720 that is not really big deal.
