I think "Gamecube 2" is a better description of this theoretical console than "Wii HD". The Wii after all was largely defined by its motion controls and blue ocean approach whereas what we're talking about here, a standard HD console from Nintendo, would be more like a traditional successor to Gamecube.

Fair enough. GC2 or Super GC then.

For your tastes would you have liked more the GC2 than Wii?

I think the Wii probably would've more to my tastes. While it would've been cool seeing Nintendo games in HD a gen earlier, I expect we would've had to suffer through a lot of the delays and droughts that made the Wii U so painful as Nintendo like a lot of devs had trouble transitioning to HD development. I'm also one of those who quite liked motion controls, when done right.
