Pre-64, most home consoles with joysticks had digital, not analog, sticks.

 That is true in a way but some of the biggest games on Wii doesn't even required the use or have little use of the wiimote such as Zelda, Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers. I know because I used to own a wii and have all those games. If those games were upgrade to HD graphics, that would be insane.

But the counter arguement is games like Wii Sports and Metroid Wii are better and/or neccessary with the wiimote.

Please, Nintendo I begged you..release a Wii HD NOW!

"if the Wii was as powerful as the 360, Nintendo could be enjoying games like GTA4, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, and etc"

That only proves they aren't being down-ported at the moment. But Capcom is porting Dead Rising, which they wouldn't even put on the PS3 or PC, so who knows?

Okay, the result likely will disappoint a lot, but it's likely to make money, which Capcom seems to like.

No. If I want experiences like what you're describing, I would buy a 360 in addition to my Wii.

Which I did.

A)  I screwed that one up

B)  Analog joysticks could move in any direction with any amount of speed.  The Atari 2600 may have been 8 way directional (like the gam pad), but others had complete freedom in direction and sensititivity (look at the Atari 5200 if you want to see an example).

 Pre NES, most controls were analog.

 I know dead rising is coming to the wii but it is a stripped down version of the Original. It never have more than a dozen zombies on screen at once compared to the hundreds of the 360 version. http://kotaku.com/5040381/dead-rising-wii-+-how-gimped-it-is .

Here is the point I was trying to make at the beginning. Horsepower or control innovation, take your pick. In Dead Risinf Chop till you Drop, it is quit fun because it uses the wiimote to swing a baseball bat or shoot a pistol but at the same time it is not like the HD version where you get way more enemies on screen for a better overall challege and bigger environments and textures.

My original post was to aim directly at Wii only owner. If they just have a wii, will they just take function over substance. And most of you chose the wiimote.

Pre Super Mario 64, most games were digital

So what if the Atari 5200 had an analogue input if none of the games used it

No, HD graphics are an optional extra for me. Besides with 2160p not even being introduced until the mid 2010s, Nintendo has plenty of time to release an HD console in the early 2010s to level the playing field.

NO!!!!

The only reason i have a home console this generation is because of motion controllers
