Miyamoto won't confirm HD for Wii 2, but says they're working with evolving tech |

Talking on the next Wii console, Nintendo's main dude Shigeru Miyamoto
refuses to confirm whether Wii 2 will go HD. Instead, he just drops coy hints:I'm afraid we cannot confirm what we are doing today. But the fact of the matter is that technology is evolving all the time and in Japan.
For example... all the analogue broadcast will be stopped and shifted into the digital broadcasting.
So many things are taking place and we are working in terms of the changes of the technologies all the time.
Take it as it is. It's no confirmation that the Wii will HD, that's for sure, but Mariomoto does sound like he's trying to hint at something. Or maybe that's just me. Previous reports did say that Wii 2 will be truly next-gen, and "far more than a simple refresh of current hardware." The same report said that Wii 2 will sport HD visuals.
That's still a long, long time from now though, as Wii sales just refuse to show signs that the console is a fad. I'm actually more interested in whether Nintendo will ever lift its squeaky clean image and try to invite third-party devs to make more hardcore games like MadWorld.

But the worts part is that these same poor imbeci-les are going to clap this insult when they "confirm" that "wii 2" has hd capabilities instead of spitting in the face of this mother-fu... liars.

All these idiots like tekkenlord crying like babies about how money Nintendo makes doesn't mean SQUATE until Nintendo proves to everyone what they are going to do with it.
One thing is for sure, they can't surpass 1080p so as long as it's at least that... there wont be an unrising.

If Wii2 is trying to enter into same market 360 and PS3 then they are making a even worse decision because you are now ditching the casual gamers. Bottom line is that you know and I know that moms and casual gamers are not too keen on spending couple hundred bucks every 2, 3 years to upgrade their consoles. Disagree all you want but that is a fact. (And I am talking about generally, so I am sure there are exceptions).
Given my speech above... Do I hate Nintendo? No. I think Wii is great so far. I don't think they need a Wii2 just yet. Bottom line is I really wonder how many will just ditch their Wii and jump on the Wii2? May be they were expecting the same result from DS to DSLite? For certain I will be keeping my Wii for now. If they make Wii2 game not runnable on Wii then I will just stick with my current Wii games.

Some harsh words there pal. Japanese Micheal Jackson...really? Anyway, yeah, they should have had it from the start. Yeah, half the Wii games out there are gimmicky crap. That doesn't make Nintendo money hounds. I don't understand why you get so mad at Nintendo for "only caring aout their pockets." Look at Microsoft. Sure, XBL is the best onine of the 3 consoles. It's also the only one that costs anything. Look at Sony. The PS3 is still the most expensive console out there, and they still haven't gotten it up to the popularity and acheivements of the 360, yet they easily could.
Chill out and think about your crap you spew.
@ Lavino
You're defenitely right about Nintendo seeming to leave the casual in the dust. But, think about it. Casual gamers seem to mostly buy the gimmicky Wii games (at least someone does because they keep buying them). But, even when the Wii 2 comes out, I don't think that the Wii games will just stop there. The casual game devs will just continue making casual games on the Wii. Look as the PS2. There are STILL games being ported to that. They are casual games. PS2 came out 8 friggin' years ago. Anyway, yeah, they might just be doing the same thing with the DS Lite. I had to wait to get a DS, and I'm glad I did, because I ended up with a Lite. Now the DSi is coming out. I want one, because of the DSWare that is sure to be popular, plus the obvious VC games that are sure to head there. But I digress.
Anyway, I know that this post is a little jumpy, but I hope you can get my point.
Man I'm tired...
*yawn*

Anyway, I wonder what the price for that would be...

That is HILARIOUS!!!!!! !! So after what? More then a YEAR you finally caught a typo? That is so funny!!!! Congrats!!! After I've pointed out countless actual errors on your part here you are finally able to do the same. Good for you. Except, I don't claim to have the best education possible, unlike yourself.
"Wow, that was retarded, even for you. What will Nintendo do with their massive profits? Give them back to you, their most loyal fan?"
No, you jackass. They would squander it which is exactly what I was addressing. If you had at least half a brain in your head you would have understood that.
"They're going to keep up their greedy (and successful) efforts like charging $30 for a stupid microphone!"
And you know this how? Did the WIDELY successful DSi get all jumbled in your pea size brain? So just because you have no need for a mic, that makes it stupid? The mic does in fact work. It's a mic. If their mic is stupid then all mics are stupid? Or is it just YOU that is stupid? I suspect the later.
"More like, for as long as Nintendo only releases crap games, nobody will care how bad the graphics are."
Did you even bother to read what you wrote? If it's crap, THEN people don't care? Are you addressing the people that LIKE the games or everyone? WTF kind of an idiot comment is this? Do you actually make sense to yourself?

You are such a fool.
Everything you said could also be said about the 360. Quit your crying.

Yes you idiot, you where. Either way, how the hell did you get "give ISOHaven all the money" out of it? Only a jackass such as yourself would come to such an idiotic conclusion. Like I said, had you had HALF a brain you would have leaned on the side of....do something GOOD with the money, or do NOTHING with the money.
"How money Nintendo makes? Where did you learn to talk? You say the most retarded crap, then say people are stupid that can't understand whatever language that's supposed to be. NOW THAT'S STUPID."
Lets put it this way, you are the ONLY ONE that does not understand. So I guess that makes you the fool.
"Well, you also suspected Mcain (3rd term bush) would be a good president, so that alone proves you wrong."
First off, for the 5th TIME SO FAR...it's McCain. You look like such a damn FOOL when you spell his name wrong. Don't even TRY claiming typo.
Here's what's wrong with NINTENDO'S mic.
"1. Overpriced by $15-$20."
Based on what? Show me a mic that can pick up an entire room for $15-$20. You based your BS comments on fiction.
"2. What, 2 games support it?"
There will be more. WTF is your point?
"3. No dedicated sound channel for headset speaker"
Who the hell needs that? So because it doesn't do EVERYTHING it's no good? Well, your mom wont do your dad anymore because you popped out so I guess that makes your mom a worthless POS right?
"poorer audio quality"
Again, based on what? You are talking out your ass again!
"no easy mute + volume controls, etc."
Again, based on what? You are talking out your ass again!
"Makes sense to me."
Figures.
"Since most of the Wii's games are CRAP, those who play them expect CRAP in all areas, including graphics. Poor graphics are the least of the problems with the Wii's horrible game lineup."
Yet, they sell better then your poor little 360 games and console. As always, reality proves you're an idiot.
