Nintendo Has Said That The Wii Does Need Something New

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was recently questioned about the future of the Wii, where he was asked if HD is a possible solution for future models. Many Wii fans would like to play games with better graphics, and this might even interest a few new people to buy the console.

Iwata said that the Wii will in fact sell with something new, and he didn’t shoot down an HD idea at all.

“If asked if making the Wii compatible with high definition — just making it compatible with high resolution — will get players throughout the world to buy it,” he said, “I would of course say, ‘Do you think it would sell with just that? It needs something new.’”

Uhm, that line was translated. So, if you’re having a hard time understanding… You know why.

Overall, Iwata has agreed that the Wii needs something new, and HD might soon be a requirement, along with something else that’s ‘new’.
