... I would love for there to be a Wii HD.

It'd be cool to see what Super Mario Galaxy looks like once upscaled to HD

Thecraft19894971d ago

you never heard of dolphin emulator ? It looks very good and runs on most pc.

Snakefist304971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

Wii HD will be cool.

Samus HD4971d ago

but it won't be Wii HD
it will be something unique and different

TheIneffableBob4970d ago (Edited 4970d ago )

Dolphin is really cool. It runs the game natively at the chosen resolution, so you can play in 1080p or even 2560x1600.

Support for 3DTVs would rock. Couldn't be hard to upgrade all the N64 classics they are already upgrading to 3D for the Wii...

multipayer4971d ago (Edited 4971d ago )

They already expressed their hate for wearing glasses, and hate for HD years ago, and hate for the dvd format before that... and when has nintendo ever updated anything for free? you're giving away alot of the 3DS lineup with that N64 bit.

I think they'll just add an HDMI port and call it a day.

darkcharizard4971d ago

Well that's enough. Atleast we can get Super Street Fighter IV then!

TheGameFoxJTV4971d ago

Guys, just adding a HDMI cable does NOT enable a system to do HD graphics. The Wii simply CAN'T do native HD, it's not strong enough.

darkcharizard4970d ago

It's not strong enough? pffffft!

You mean it doesn't have a graphics card that supports 1080p... LOL!

TheGameFoxJTV4969d ago

Dude, the Wii struggles to play alot of its 480p games. How the hell can you expect it to do HD at all?

wonder if this is going to turn into anything or if we're just getting worked up for nothing.

eagle214971d ago

I keep hoping it has something to do with Zelda: Skyward Sword. And Mario's 25th Anniversary is bound to get celebrated in the USA/EU this year like Japan. :)

Microsoft_Spokesman4971d ago

I honestly don't think Nintendo will stop releasing the Wii, nor make the Wii HD. The sales may have slowed down for the Wii but they are still reasonable. Also, if they were to phase out the Wii and released Wii HD, I'm sure it will be mentioned and released on or post-E3 2011 and not now.

RedPawn4971d ago

It better release with Super Mario Bros. 4

darkcharizard4971d ago

Super Mario Bros 4 is Super Mario World

RedPawn4971d ago

I didn't know Bros., was spelled W O R L D, hmmm very new to me.

LeonSKennedy4Life4971d ago

Super Mario Bros. 4 released in Japan. It wasn't very popular, however, as they changed the formula so much.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno8d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
