An HD Wii would have been complete industry OWNAGE

imagine the wii was released with full hd, i think that would have stomped out the competition. i mean, the biggest gripe about the wii is the graphics, which leads to crappier games, an hd wii would have had all the great multiplats on the ps3 and 360, plus the wii exclusives, plus COD hd....

I'm already playing Wii games in HD...however, I can't discuss in detail for fear of getting modded:(

loool...

its the controls....

If Wii was HD then the price would have been higher so no it won't stomp the competition.

It it had the same 3rd party support, nope it still would be a joke, the sub hd just adds to the joke

There is already a way to play Wii games in HD but you need a strong PC.

I agree a wii with similar hardware compared to 360 and ps3 would probably been **** kickass, even if games wouldn't use the wii mote.

I would had been a "two in one" console.

However i hate the state it is in now.

There are people out there that will always despise Nintendo for no real reasons other than it is a popular developer that makes popular games and that don't almost exclusively makes M rated games with gore, cussing, and sexual content so no, these changes wouldn't stop anyone from hating the Wii.

As for that hd is not the reason I never play my Wii...the fact there isn't a single game on the system I want to play is the problem.

But didn't you say it would still be a joke even with the 3rd party support in your previous post?

All you need to do is wait 'til the Super Wii is released.

Actually upscaling does quite a bit...

I have an HD Wii....kinda, but let me put it this way...there isn't much difference than playing on an actual Wii.

really? whats the name of the converter , i want one. The wii's jaggies kill my eyes ultraking

dude dont bother. The jaggies are still there. Your TV already upscales the Wii. A $70 device wont do much other than make the jaggies more sharper lol. I have a $500 reciever that upscales as well (most likely better than that device) & there is very little difference. Nothing will change the resolution of the game.

thats because you play your PS3 all the time and SONY is #1 imho

Snyper-007

So first you were copying Sniper4321? and now you're copying Swag? :P

, the biggest gripe about the wii is the graphics, which leads to crappier games, an hd wii would have had all the great multiplats on the ps3 and 360, plus the wii exclusives, plus COD hd....

the wii is fine the way it is ,

you people who do cry for hd andgraphics are the real joke ,

cause let me tell you what the hd systems have been known for is their expensive games and their 200 first person shooters on the shelft nothing good is known about them

except maybe sonys exclusives or a few game like saintsrow 2 gta iv or so , the wii is not a bad system it has tons of exclusive games worth mentioning i dont care bout what ps3 306 has as far as multiplats cause heres why ,

why would you want all 3 to have the same exact games any how just get a wii and the other console , or all 3

they tried that last gen and look ps2 just stomped both xbox and gamecube to the ground if ms continued with that kind of console with only 26 m sales world wide -they would have been out before they even got started thats a known fact look at sega -never held the lead in any war , never was a factor and for the record if nintendo did hd console what difference wouold it actually make now that theres already 2 that do that ,, ,

not much i can tell you its not the graphics people whine about its brand ! its been known for a long time nintendo is very under rated when it comes to consoles,

people do not respect them regardless if they had the most powerful console or the weakest power in its console ,

u mad?

The Wii is already stomping the competition with sales greater than the two below it combined. I guess it's a given an HD version, essentially the same console by extension (few modifications) would stomp the competition.

So you think things would have changed if Metroid Other M would look like this.

instead of this?

With the playstation move and kinect the wii now has nothing innovative about it. Other than remaking the same games over and over like mario, zelda, and donkey kong now...Not that I dont like those games, but the wii just shouldnt be taken that seriously.

DK didn't have a proper game since DK64. :|

There was nothing innovative about the 360 or PS3.

Kinect maybe a bit more innovative, but the Wii Should at least be taken for Consideration with it's games like Epic Mickey, Goldeneye, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Red Steel, No More Heroes and Monster Hunter.

Do you mean just HD, or that the entire system was comparable to the 360/PS3? If you meant the latter then Nintendo wouldn't have been able to offer it for only 250$ and it wouldn't be the tremendous success it is today, if you meant the former then I have to ask; What would be the point?meetroid8

And PC gamers are the one always yapping on about graphics.

Anyway in case you have been living in a cave, the Wii is dominating the console market.

No.

This would be the situation:

-Wii launches at $499.

-Only hardcore nintendo nerds buy it, no one else does because $499 is a ludicrous price for a console.

-Wiimote still is just basic waggle.

-Nintendo still is not ready for online.

-Gamers still complain that the games are zelda, mario, and metroid all over again.

-Third parties still avoid the thing like the plague because the gamecube was a flop and the wiimote is scary.

It would be the HD console with terrible controls.

I can tell you, people would be whining about Nintendo even if they added HD to the Wii. So no, it won't help that much.nintendoboy16

This all the way

It would still lack good 3rd party games and continue to use that crappy controller. Cartoon-graphics in HD is not really interesting at all.

The fact that Wii was hundreds of dollers less then PS360 had nothing to do with its success?

If Wii was HD then the price would have been higher so no it won't stomp the competition.

OH myths....

People don't realize that the whole "Wii HD!" thing didn't get started until the shill Michael Pachter began preaching it. 3rd-party devs have a vested interest in an HD Wii, because then they can (for example) release the same version of Black Ops across four platforms instead of three and rake in even more cash. An HD Wii would cater to a very small percentage of the fanbase who actually bought a Wii.
