New Wii With HD Coming In 2011?

The current Wii is still selling faster than any other console but information has just started to emerge about what we can expect to see in the next generation of the device, due in 2011. According to What They Play, multiple industry sources have been in touch saying - anonymously - that Nintendo has been showing developers something they called ‘Wii HD’, a much different next-gen successor. 2011 does seem a long way off though. As to be expected, the new device will be HD-capable as well as fully-backwards compatible with existing content - take note Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo will also ship this device with internal storage - HDD or SSD - as there will be an emphasis on digital distribution. Of course, while much of this information could have been guessed, the site points to Nintendo’s big bump in R&D and other sources to back up the ’something big is going on’ argument. The one thing lacking though is just what innovative twist we can expect in ‘Wii HD’ because this is Nintendo we are talking about, after all. Of course, Nintendo is staying Mum. All suggestions and fervent wishes for the next Wii welcome.-Martin Lynch [What They Play] Wii console
