I just don't see any appeal to it. The HD is old, the console would be expensive, and third parties wouldn't join up because its a new userbase unlike the other HD systems. Plus it would cost more to develop for. Therefore it would have no games, unless Nintendo wants to ignore the 3DS....Not a good postition at all. Well, if you don't like making money lol


Can you... you know... wait for the reveal so we can see all the features?

If this is true i hope MS doesn't try to hurry up there next console just to compete with the wii 2. I think the ps3 and 360 will outsell the wii 2. 


?

Stupidest post I've read in a while.

I really hope thatit isn't just Wii HD.

I already have WiiHD at home. Screenshot of how Wii HD games will look like below...

That looks exactly the same as SMG2 on my TV...

It's the same game, just at a higher resolution - You'll notice it has no jaggies/ smoother overall with some AA

That is corect.

Mario Galaxy 2 runs at 720 × 480  res on the wii if you have component cables.

That screenshot is 1600x800...and its only that because Picasa wouldn't allow me to upload the original 3240x1920 resolution screenshot which was taken when playing Mario Galaxy 2 across 3 monitors.

All I am saying is that I don't see Nintendo improving much on 3240x1920 res if all they are doing is going "HD". So I hope they introduce something completely new and blow MS and Sony execs minds with simplicity.

And so it begins

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I understand there's a huge resolution difference and AA helps a lot when you play on 3 screens, but on my TV (Sharp Aquos 720P) I can hardly see any jaggies anyway. It took some tweaking with the settings ofcourse, but some Wii games almost look HD quality with vibrant colors and a sharp image (Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime 3...).

Hrm Sweet maybe it can be a graduation present from my family if it comes out in 2012. If it actually launches with any games I want of course.

Well, here we go again. Skyward Sword delayed as they "redo" it to be the launch title of Wii 2. Just like Twilight Princess. Well, hopefully I am wrong.



In the absence of evidence to the contrary, always assume you have the upper hand.

NNID = RangerOne

Switch = SW-2393-3671-6907

I hope there wont be any new Hd consoles for atleast 2 more years, I just got both a ps3 and 360 and it would suck if I'd have to get a whole new console!!!
