An HD Version Of Wii Is A Good Idea!




When I tour the stores in my area, I get told there are no known plans for a new Nintendo Wii capable of displaying and processing High Quality HD graphics for now, but there are plenty of articles and predictions listed when I Google search about the possibility of a Nintendo Wii made for High Definition graphics.

The second week in February I was looking for extra information on Sony's NGP. When I came across a post from "Crave - The Gadget Blog From CNET" about an HD Nintendo Wii. Even though I knew the article is more likely speculation, I started to think about what if there is a new HD capable Wii. What would that be like? Think of it! The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Mario for the first time with stunning HD graphics!

I think it would be cool if there is a Wii with HD technology. I always thought that the Wii should have been least 720p, to make the graphics sharper, clearer, and more pixel correct. I don't know what Nintendo is planning, but if it does decide on an HD capable Wii, I would hope that it would be fully compatible with its current last gen and classic games. All current Wii games should be fully upscaled to High Quality HD (preferably 1080p),with the graphics sharper, clearer and smoother, resulting from being upscaled like many classic games on PC, but not upscaled like classic PS One games on PS3, where the graphics are barely looking any better, and the blocky graphics are blurred (using smoothing). Something similar to Scale3x, or Scale4x should be used, unless Nintendo would have something better in mind.

Right now, the idea an HD Nintendo Wii coming out seems like a tease, but maybe there will be an announcement any day now with some good news.

This Post is from my person.

Add note: you can download the wallpaper visiting the site above, also I believe  the current Nintendo Wii can display some games in 720p, like the first Xbox can, because Nintendo Wii has better hardware than the first Xbox.
