It's not possible. In the days of the 32x, simply adding some memory meant better graphics right away.

An "HD" add-on would require something along the lines of

A) More memory
B) More processing power
C) More video processing and memory

Without any one of those three things, increasing the resolution of a game would cause it to chug, because the current specs of the Wii (arguably) would not handle a high-graphics game above 480p.

Tell me how Nintendo could reasonably release a peripheral with a processor, memory, and video output that could interact and combine with the old Wii, still qualifying it as a peripheral, not an entirely new system.

You can't just output at 1080p and make things look better...they'll look identical at 1080p if the system is exactly the same, and if you try to scale games to that resolution, it'll actually make things look worse. If you try to make them look better, you need better hardware.

There's no reasonable way to do it.


I see, Well Thanks for teaching me something
