Of course there won’t be HD. That would actually cost Nintendo money!

I own a Wii and just got a hold of New Super Mario Bros Wii. It’s great, but besides widescreen 420p and waggle controls (that would have been better off mapped to an extra button instead), it could have easily been a GameCube game. The Wii really is a slightly upgraded GameCube with motion controls.

Nintendo always tries to cover thier plans up by denying something they have exists. So, take it with a grain of salt. However, I still believe it’d be better for them to make a new console instead of a Wii2. They need another console that left as much impact as the N64.

Wii HD would be stupid. We have the Wii. Calling the next console “Wii HD” would not work, and HD would probably have upped the resolution standard by then.

Oh well. No HD isn’t really that much of a big deal. Wii games don’t look that great anyway. About the only benefit you would get would be to see your Mii in HD across all the crappy family fun games that get churned out every week or so

I’d rather they not release a Wii HD, simply because of the recession going on across the globe.

Guys, the bext Nintendo console WILL be in HD, but it won’t have the Wii name. Thats what Reggie means.

@ Tails and Soul
In theory yes, but it didn’t work with Unleashed did it? The Wii/PS2 version were headed up by a sub-studio, the one that did the Advance and Rush series. So it’s the same number of platform as before. What they need is time to get this right. Be patient, because the longer you wait, the better it will be. As soon as a trailer with gameplay comes out, it starts a sort of countdown in the fans minds as they get impatient.
I really hope they get this right. As it’s 2D, this is almost his last chance for a comeback, they’re serious about this one! If it doesn’t do well, he may be forever doomed to be a character that was once a great figure in the industry, that faded away into rubbushness. Noone here wants that (I’d assume, lol). I just want him to be awesome again… :-[

TailstheHedgehog makes a good point, actually.

I call BS.
They’ll probably use bluray and say “we said we weren’t doing “HD”.”
