Poll: Will Nintendo go HD?

[mikecoulter]

Trawling through the internet today has left me rather confused. Some say the next Nintendo console wont be HD and the others say there's going to be a "Wii HD".

I'm currently saving petty cash for a Wii, and may hold off if there's a HD version coming out within a year.

Thoughts?

At ton of people have bought the Wii now. I think a lot of them would hesitate when it comes to switching to an HD Wii.

 

[Andy_Panthro]

They will go HD, it's more a question of when. It may take them a couple of years or so.

 

[Bad Neighbour]

I wouldn't count on it. It completely goes against the concept of the wii really - the whole point was that Nintendo saw no need or necessity in having HD graphics.

 

[Clirck]

Then they just rerererererererelease a Mario and Sonic Games and still suck with their console.

I doubt it. At least there not SD; the Wii is ED (Enhanced Definition) if I'm not mistaken.

No, never. Nintendo are diametrically opposed to HD. To them its the devil.

Wait for the next console. There would be no point in sending an existing console in that direction just yet when it's still selling like sweat in a sauna.

If patcher is right (about something) and the next generation of consoles doesn't come till 2013 (I personally think Microsoft will release a console before that, Nintendo too) then surely it would be a better idea to wait it out until then, when HD is even more rooted into the mainstream? Besides it wouldn't really serve the existing Wii that much good.

That is correct. 480p for NTSC and 576p for PAL.

...Okay. Any explanation as to why?

If they did come out with a Wii HD I would not buy it because
A. I already have a perfectly working Wii (damn I wish I had an xBox...)
B. I don't really care about HD, graphics for me have always really been an afterthought.

 

[ForrestDixon]

Yah, there wouldent be any point. They wanted to market it to familys, and similer groups, then HD wouldent be needed. And if they have HD, there is going to be the probable use of a hardrive.

And of course then, that would raise the price.

If they did do this, they would have to be VERY VERY carfull how they do it. There seems to be ALOT of sketchyness involved with the idea.


I think it would be very neet though.

If the Wii did go HD then they wouldn't have to get the crappier versions of the multi-console released games anymore.

 

[PureChaos]

i doubt it. it would be good but i reckon it's wishful thinking.

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

It's entirely possible that Nintendo would go HD but not with the Wii, so don't get your hopes up.

 

[Micah Weil]

How about they fix the shovelware and remote waggle problems before worrying about going HD, hmm?

 

[Wordsandstuffwillbenexttothis8465]

People that bought Wii's were hopefully not counting on stuff like HD, it may just be some sort of remorse that the Wii has awful graphics, and the 360 and PS3 have HD.

[JediMB]

As has no doubt been said repeatedly (or should have), the Wii itself surely won't go HD, but the next generation Nintendo console surely will.

 

[Nanissimov]

The thing you need to understand about the nintendo wii is all the hardware that went into making that fancy shamancy motion scensor, thats mainly what your paying for the motion censor, Yes it is possible it can go HD but its ganna go over 1000 bucks when it comes out and noone is ganna buy that.

Yeah, I know, I was just being silly.
