Those "classics" are great despite the technology not because of it.
Like I said a more apt example would be would anyone want to play Super Mario Galaxy on an N64 or DS level chipset? Even with a pointer controller?
*crickets*
Yeah ... didn't think so.
Nintendo took a big risk with the Wii and to minimize the risk they opted for basically an overclocked version of a chipset they were already using. That's why they didn't go with HD, not because they have some aversion to HD. Iwata has said from day 1 that Nintendo will some day release an HD capable console.
It's IMO a vocal minority that took that and spun it into all types of ridiculous arguements like HD would bankrupt developers and this that and the other. I don't think Nintendo has actually ever even said anything of the sort.
