Thats really good news.

of course

yay

Here is some info I found about the new Wii.

Apparently set to hit the market “by 2011” the new device is said to be the true “next generation” Nintendo console, and far more than a simple refresh of the current hardware. Unlike previous console transitions from Nintendo, the new system will be presented as a true successor to the Wii, and is being dubbed by those that have seen the presentation as “Wii HD.” There is no indication if this will be its eventual name, but the nature of the transition has been characterized as similar to “the shift from Game Boy to Game Boy Advance,” where familiar, key elements were left intact while the core hardware was made more powerful. It is expected by all those that we have spoken to on the subject that the new device will retain the Wii name in part.

While our sources are reluctant to be too specific about “Wii HD,” they have been able to divulge some (albeit predictable) generalizations. High definition visuals are assured, as is a greater emphasis on digitally distributed and backwardly compatible content, indicating that the new system will feature some form of local storage medium such as a hard drive or large flash memory solution. It has also been indicated that Nintendo’s emphasis is again on what the consumer will hold in their hands and interact with, rather than the “console” itself.

The article continues with some insightful facts from Nintendo's financial reports. Apparently, the company is "currently spending more than ten times as much on research and development as it was five years ago, and since the Wii was launched in 2006, R&D spending has more than tripled." Obviously, this significant increase suggests some large scale project in the works. Not all of this oversized research and development budget can be attributed to the Nintendo DSi.

yeah i read that article. noice

This is VERY good news, maybe the WiiHD wont be overlooked by some developers and it wont be the gigantic shovelware game library.

I hope it can go up to 1080i

And it'll probably use either blu-ray or HDDVD, because I think consumers will still want to have a physical copy or medium to keep. Makes it MUCH easier to trade in ;)

yeah i hope they go big or go home with this HD. FYI hddvd is no longer in existence. bluray is supreme.

EDIT: holy crap im logged on twice!!!

Whatever, I'm just saying that I would like a physical copy for my games.

Yeah, I've been logged on twice before too.

oh you mean you hope they make the games on HDDVD or Bluray? i think ps3 games are made on bluray disks but i dont know about 360...I dont want to rely on downloads either if that is what you mean...you cant resell downloads ever...

Yeah that's what I mean. And I'm pretty sure the XBox 360 (currently) uses HD-DVD.

hmm 2011 hopefully i will get all the money off the wii by then, also, will this be wii 2 or will it go back to gamecube and ps3's and x box form?

what about the wii i own now i just dropped 250 well my parents did
then i need to trade in the system but what about my VC and WW games
but i'll still get wii Hd

at long last!

at long last what

at long last a new wii (with hd)

at long last? lol i don't want a new wii yet, lol, ill go insane if in 2011 they release a game and it's only compatable with wii hd's

Yeah and what about my Virtual Console and Wii Ware games
