I kind of hope the 'Osbourne effect' would take place on the current Nintendo console! They said the transition will be like Gameboy to Gameboy Advance and GBA games couldn't be played on GB... Could they? I can't remember, but if Wii 2 games can't play on Wii - I don't see why people would buy a Wii this late. I camped out for mine a long time ago, so I had enough fun with it, but if I was buying one now - I would just wait@@;. Tell everyone! Let's see the Osbourne Effect clean up Nintendo! |

| Even if this is true....Is the Wii even capable of displaying at 720p?...I don't see why they would release a new one just to be able to display that high...-_-... |
 |
| Black Wii looks pretty sexy, if that's a legitimate picture. Also, Lol @ 2011, might as wait till the next generation. On a side note - "whatheyplay.com, the parent's guide to video games" What in the hell? |
Plate said: I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. I really can't imagine an improvement worth buying another Wii for. Maybe it will get utilized in a new Zelda game, but probably not in the simplistic graphics found in many games that come out on the Wii.How could anyone tell the difference between HD and SD?

| 4 words to sum up Wii HD: Too little, too late. |
      |
| Good so now we can have casual games with graphics > gameplay. DAY 1! /sarcasm Dunno what to say at this point isn't it a rumor for now? The cycle of consoles does imply that a new system would be coming around that year. |
| gr8, another pointless way for them to squeeze more money out of our pockets. Sounds just as stupid as the new nintendo ds |
Kuronoa said: Dunno what to say at this point isn't it a rumor for now? The cycle of consoles does imply that a new system would be coming around that year. It seems to still be a rumor, with this site having the only "real" article(Any other gaming website just links back to this) on the subject I've been able to find so far, and it was written at the end of September. It's still a little shaky, but Nintendo might officially announce something sometime next year. |
Plate said: How could anyone tell the difference between HD and SD? Wii graphics are god awful. Not true. The Wii is currently the bestseller console. However, I assume that HD version of Wii requires a better tv set in order for it to be compatible, whereas SD Wii is okay with most tv sets. |

Wii graphics are god awful. Ditto. Graphics have nothing to do with best seller. Heck, the playstation 2 was the best selling console last gen, and it had the worst graphics of the three systems. I don't care about Wii HD, or HD gaming in general. I'm perfectly happy with my Wii how it is now. |
 |
| I could care less about HD, however I will be agreeing that the Wii jumped on this bandwagon way to freakin' late. The ONLY thing I enjoyed about that article was the black Wii, I hope that's a legitimate picture. But yeah, I most likely will not be buying this new console since I a) don't care about HD and b) Can use my money to purchase things I want that I don't already own. |
I hate World of Warcraft      |

If it sells better, that does not make it better. What it does make it is cheap. :/ |
| Or it casts a wider net? Unlike racist Microsoft who only began to appeal to me or bad Sony <3? |
Rikuna said: Racist MS? I know you like your Asians hate the Xbox 360 joke, but I lot of my Asian friends own and like one too. ;-pOr it casts a wider net? Unlike racist Microsoft who only began to appeal to me or bad Sony <3? But yeah, I don't see the point in the Wii displaying 1080p HD like the PS3. That won't convince anyone to buy a Wii that hasn't already. Wii doesn't boast of good graphics, but unique gameplay. New adopters won't flock for HD promises and I have a hard time believing their "casual" market will rebuy the system for that reason as well. |
| Assuming that all it does is display in HD... you can't spend 360 million on R&D only to make the same thing display in a higher resolution... I'd get one, since I don't have one. Also, I'm pretty sure I could spend 360 million on R&D for the DSI and the WiiHD hardware and software improvements, but I am not a games company... and it wouldn't work. I'd like to bring back the #casts a wider net# argument, since I'm not caught yet, I can say that this might catch me and others like me. |
| Yay, now I can play wii bowling in HD. >.> |
| ...and break your fancy HD TV, with a flick of the wrist to the Wiimotecontrol. (see previous post by RPGWIZ) |
| They'd need to do a lot more with the system than just make it HD to make me buy one. And come on, a black Wii? PS3 is black, 360 Elite is black... couldn't they have thought up something a little more original? |
eternal_blue said: And come on, a black Wii? PS3 is black, 360 Elite is black... couldn't they have thought up something a little more original? Nintendo did this to thier previous consoles and handheld though, so they are just being in tradition. |
| Chances are if you're buying a Wii, then you're not doing it for HD gaming.. |

I was replying to that guy who just said because it sold more doesn't mean it is better <3 In general, I don't like the idea of Wii HD ; ; |
| honestly I don't care so much about what other people bitch about...I just want to be able to play wii on an HDTV without it looking like shit. meaning it should be able to support higher resolutions and not in 2011..but now. |
| Tbh i dont see whats wrong with the wii's graphics, sure compare it up to the ps3 and xbox 360 there not great but thats what i liked about nintendo, they didnt do what sony and microsoft did and focus far to much on graphics at least the wii has an original way of gameplay instead of the normal button tapping. But still wii hd doesnt really bother me, the wiis graphics are good enough as they are, so what if there not as realistic as the ps3 / xbox 360 its a game it doesnt need to be so realistic does it? remember classics like th original super mario the original final fantasys or what ever? when they first came out the graphics for then were amazing,but most people dont see it like that anymore apperntly the graphics matter more than the game itself now. Seriously if the games good who cares about graphics? |
Plate said: Wii graphics are god awful. I think you're giving the Wii a bit too much credit. I mean come on. For all I'm concerned, the Wii is just a Gamecube that has a motion detector on it. |
| I'm back. |
Maurice said: No HD Wii, just come with some better games for the Core gamer. Pretty much sums up what I wanted to say. Why try and fight MS and Sony on their ground? Just try and improve the games (and help developers utilise the capabilities of the Wii better) and reap the rewards. The only thing preventing me from buying a Wii is the fact that I would probably only buy about 4 or 5 games and then hardly play it. There isn't enough interest there for Core or Hardcore gamers. The Wii's 'thing' was innovation. It should stick to that. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| Progressing into HD would be good only if the game play can still be there. If they can make it work then if would differently be a good thing. |

For all I'm concerned, the Wii is just a Gamecube that has a motion detector on it. A gamecube with twice the graphics capability, anyway. -_- The Wii's graphics really aren't that bad, but they really haven't been taken advantage of. The majority of the games on the Wii were either done lazily or PS2 ports. |
