Wii Successor to be HD
During a question and answer session yesterday, Miyamoto revealed that
Nintendo plans to include HD in the Wii's successor.

"Of course I think five years down the road it would be pretty much a
given that Nintendo would create an HD system, but right now the
predominant television set in the world is a non-HD set."


Good news for fans that wanted HD with the Wii.

E3 2006: Miyamoto: Successor to Wii HD
The Nintendo mogul has given us the first hint of the follow-up to Wii.
by Daemon Hatfield

Speaking at a Q&A session at E3 yesterday, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto
defended the decision not to include HD technology with the Wii, but
added that the company's next system would be HD compatible.

Miyamoto explained that the number of HDTV's in homes is "really not
that high, yet. Of course I think five years down the road it would be
pretty much a given that Nintendo would create an HD system, but right
now the predominant television set in the world is a non-HD set."

Miyamoto added: "We thought it would be better to create a system that
allows you to interact with any TV set you have in your home in an
entirely new, different way, and even kind of turn that into a toy for
your TV that anyone can pick up, interact with and enjoy - rather than
only the people who have a very high-tech, specific kind of TV set."

So there you go. HD Mario is only a mere five years away.

I hope that when Nintendo makes the jump to HD, they don't do this "HD
half-heartedly" crap like Microsoft and even Sony are doing. that
*all* games rendered in 1080p natively, with downscaling for those that
don't have 1080p.

if the majority of sets are 720p, thats what they'll cater for.

And who would ever need more than 640k?

Well, duh. Even if their current system isn't HD, in five years
it'd be retarded not to be HD-capable. Likewise, Nintendo sat out
of the last generation's online gaming scuffle, much to fan objection.
Now that they're going online with the Wii, they're doing it
full-throttle.

It may not be what we're wanting, but they've got their methods.

HD sets are still too pricey, they really need to start going down in price
and I mean to CRT levels of price as well, below the £1,000 bracket. That
is the only thing that is stopping this tech from being bought quickly. I'm
sorry but seeing a 14" LCD TV set for sale for £400 is a bit naff in my
opinion when you can get a 32" CRT for £300.

Maybe it get better five years down the line, but I doubt it. The UK market
needs to get back with CRT again like the US and have cheap HD sets. It's
all very well for the EU to say we need to reduce waste and all but
LCD/Plasma is still far too costly and especially in rip off Britain prices.
At the moment I can't see either Blu-ray or HD-DVD catching on as fast as
DVD, majority here will be sticking with SD format.

Up to the electronic companies now to start to agressively reduce prices on
all their brands and models. Otherwise it's going to take ages for the UK
to move to HD.

Actually they are doing the speed limit with inferior hardware and 480p
resolution

nothing wrong with widescreen 480p...in fact, I've got quite a few hours
logged playing backward compatible 480p titles on my 360, two of which
(Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Doom 3) don't even look particularly last
gen.

It's surly not what people want. When that Wii flops, there won't be a next
system.
