Forums - Nintendo - Wii Peripheral to upgrade it graphics to next gen levels.

Someone told me in the latest issue of Game Informer they talk about Nintendo considering a peripheral for the Wii to enhance its graphical capabilities. I have no idea how it would connect or if such an article even exists. Can someone either confirm or deny this? It sounds fishy.

Obviously untrue...don't need someone to tell you that...



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Even if it ever existed it would totally go the way of the N64 DD.



                                   

It's common sense. Where would you put another peripheral that will boost it graphics wise? USB? The wii remote? It obviously can't happen.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

yeah, I just want to know if anyone here reads game informer to maybe clear up what the person may have mistaken for this.

Trouble is, I don't see any expansion slots on my Wii.



The expansion for the 64 was just added ram. It had a specific spot to plug in the added ram, they had planned that all along. The wii, nothing but a USB port. It's a really dumb rumor and isn't technically feasible. Nintendo doesn't plan on adding any expansions.
