Nintendo talk down Wii HD rumours

Nothing... yet

Satoru Iwata, big boss at Nintendo, has played down rumour that Nintendo could be on the brink of introducing an HD Wii console - the boss telling VentureBeat that it would have "no meaning".

"If we have an opportunity to make a new console, it will probably support HD because it is now common throughout the world," Iwata-san told the website.

"However, as far as the Wii is concerned, we have not found a significant reason to make it HD-compatible at this time. What is the significant meaning to the users?

"I don't think we should do it unless we find that reason. If we decide for other reasons to make new hardware, then HD is one of the things we would naturally add."

So, no HD now, but probably later... in the meantime, we're hoping to hear about the further evolution of Nintendo's own motion capture technology in the future.
