With so much talk about the new wii everyone thinks is comeing out I thought I'd post this, sorry if it's already been posted. Of course, they always deny rumors of new colsoles, be it true or false.

Yeah they deny everything wether its true or not. I don't believe this one anyway though. Although I want one, I doubt most people even care. Even though HDtv's are becoming more common, most people are too stupid to even hook up there devices in HD. I know a guy who bought a PS3 and had it hooked to his 47" tv with the composite cables that came with it. I told him to use HDMI or component and he said that the picture looked good enough to him. There's probably people out there with their 360's hooked up with an RF modulator, sadly. Most people don't really care about that stuff. Just us videogame forum posters and the gaming press.

I think that's an unfounded generalization.

Nintendo is working on some kind of new console, and it probably will have HD capability. They won't call it an upgraded Wii, and Reggie will still be telling the truth.

The next Nintendo console will be HD for sure. I don't see how in what, 3 or 4 years that a console wouldn't be HD. Now of days all T.Vs you can buy are High Definition so its becoming the new standard. I love the Wii but if the next Nintendo home console wasn't HD there is no chance that I would buy in.

I am not surprised.

I don't think there will be such a thing as a new Wii version featuring HD support.

Wii HD is not going to expand the gaming market. It would be a waste of time.

He didn't deny it, he outright said no its not happening, like anyone would common sense has been saying since that moron Patcher(who I don't know how he still has a job, being an analyst must be great) came up with the idea. Of course Nintendo is working on the next console, R&D never stops at any technology company but thier not going to come out with a console that divides thier fanbase forcing them and everyone else to do double duty. It makes absolutely no sense of any kind. Yeah they always deny rumors even if thier true, but still this just stupid, its not true. Now there was talk from Iwata and Miyamoto at that last Q&A about making the next console sort of an inbetween. Now that is a little tough to figure as it could mean like having some kind of console that supports two formats or something crazy like that, but that sounds more expensive than just making an HD console. I would guess from what they said after that about devs having choice is unlike the PS3 and 360 the games wont have to be HD ready. Whether that turns out to be the case or not and if it did, whether it turned out to bite them in the rear end remians to be seen. But one things for sure, there wont be a HD Wii next year.

I wish. And the fact that the president of NOA claims he's never even HEARD of Fatal Frame 4 is quite disheartening. I'm not saying WiiHD is on it's way. I'm just saying that Reggie isn't the ultimate fountain of knowledge on what's going on in Japan, regardless of his position.

Personally I want a few more years out of my wii anyways. However when nintendo does come out with an HD system I don't really want it to be another wii. Instead I want a new system with a new evolution or even revolution of gaming. Motion controls are fun but I wat to kee moving forward with new and different ways to game at this point.

for some reason that reminds me of the virtual boy and the matrix... and that's definitely a combination i wouldnt like to see... imagine how many minds would literally blow up by using it :P seriously now, that probably wont happen. not because it's impossible (since it is possible), but do you want to wear a stupid helmet every time you turn on your videogame? i know i dont.

it will be hd,

but it probably will not use the wii name ,

it doesnt have to dont think because its a new name it wont sell

n64 was successful even though it didnt sell as much as ps1 ,

it was home to many exclusive games in the greatest genre of all , thanks to n64 we got goldeneye perfect dark duke nukem 64 hexen 64 doom 64 turok 1-4 etc

also pushed sega and microsoft to add 4 controller ports to their consoles ,

etc

it paved the road , just like the wii is doing now

if the industry goes to digital distribution itll be because of wii ,

heres why , while 360 only offers so many classic big games,

nintendo releases almost every big game they had over 20 yrs , ,

they got more full fledged games then small arcady titles ,, 360 if i remember right did not have many dlc until wii actually took off

so it was wii whos paving that road for downloadable xbox classics or your ps1 classics , ,

thats a fact ,,

over 400 games say so , compared to what 24 xbox1 games and 4 n64 titles , and a few genesis titles which are also on wii

so the next nintendo console even your playstation consoles and your ms consoles , , are gonna take somthing that wii made successful

normal PR marketing move.

Sony knew we all saw the PS3 slim in May, but didn't announce it til August, even filing FCC patents under a fake name/company

they will use the Wii name again, just like they won't abandon the DS name.

the Wii/DS brand name is too powerful to ignore and have got a life of their own, to change the name to anything else would be silly

It won't be as simply as Wii 2, or Wii HD but it will be a console with HD capabilities

I'm calling a Wii successor in fall 2011 with 360/PS3 level hardware, like a 3.0Ghz single core CPU or dual core, 256MB-1GB RAM, 500Mhz GPU or so

anyone else remember the Unreal 3 Samus mod? god that was awesome
