Wii HD would be the most stupid idea Nintendo could have in the current situation.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

They should wait till the next gen before releasing an HD console. Either that or develop an HD addon for the Wii and include it in all future packages. In addition, people who already have a Wii would have to be given vouchers to get that add on for free.

Wii Music 2 being a close second. The developers still seem to be interested in such a thing.



The technology to make an HD version of the Wii but keeping the same small size and low power consumption doesn't exist yet. As these are massive plus points for the Wii I very much doubt Nintendo will give them up easily.

It's too close to next gen for them to bother now, especially now that there's been a healthy buzz about Sony already finding a proper suitor to replace their Cell processor for the PS4 -

We're days away from 2010, and Nintendo still has some big titles to put out on the Wii that are crowd favorites (Zelda, Star Fox), plus there is plenty of space for games to make more use of Wii Motion Plus, which has been out for about 6 months now. This should allow them to coast easily into 2011-2012 before releasing a new system, which happens to fall into their traditional 5-6 year plan between home console releases.

Can't wait for a HD Ninty machine. HD Zelda FTW!

P.S. No more waggle please!

This.

If Nintendo came out with a 'WiiHD' right now, sure, they'd have a rush on a few repeat sellers, but in the long run, it would only hurt the reputation and repeat core customer base they have.  It would be like Sony or Microsoft releasing a re-release of their console halfway saying 'now with full Widescreen support!'  Major PR nightmare.

All major heads at Nintendo have been hinting the next major console from Nintendo will have HD.  And both Reggie and Iwata have stated they will never made a 'Wii HD'.

One of my favorite posters on this site, a Nintendo fan, said that Nintendo stated 'we will continue to engage in the revolution-evolution strategy'.

 

That is, they release a console which gets big, and then they perfect it with the next system.

 

NES->SNES

n64->GC

Wii->WiiHD?

 

 



I'm assuming this pole was just referring to a HD version of the Wii as opposed to a totally new system and if that's the case what would be the sense in them releasing it? I just don't understand how people can think it's a good idea.
