Next Nintendo console will be HD-compatible

article published on 8 June, 2009

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said this week that he believes that although high definition video has no "significant meaning" to users of the extremely popular Wii, the next Nintendo console will certainly be HD-compatible. "If we have an opportunity to make a new console, it will probably support HD because it is now common throughout the world," Iwata says. "However, as far as ... [ read the full article ]

I wonder if Nintendo would use DVD-9s for their next console or use something like Blu-Ray... They always seem to be different from the rst in terms of the media they use...

It's nintendo...I am sure they will find something stupid and useless that offers rather low quality...maybe they will pick up UMD once Sony drops it.

This is what Nintendo should've done with the Wii and have better games but whatever Nintendo shits out, people will buy it because its branded with "Nintendo" on the box.

HD DVD would be cheaper to sue than BR and be worth while at 30-50GB max a disc though I think it would be cheaper to use BR.

And I would say that you could bring in a decent profit by sholving out HD videos on the WII, if you could, don't be silly there's so alot of disposable income there.


Price range should be 300-600, hopefully they will develop the motion control system where it dose not need a sensor bar, I hope they polish the split controller design as well, it would not take much to make it wireless and easily connect with each other to make one control pad.


IMO split motion design is the best new control design yet even if the WII is still very unpolished, I'll take precise wrist/arm movement over dcking with a thumb stick anyday!

Crap in crap out that's the motto of gaming these days, and nintendo just took what the industry was doing(making everything casual) and did it better tho still....war teh gamez!?!?!?.
New mario ok I like,New zelda might not suck, 3rdp super melle adventure metorid...WTF?!!?!?

Still its only as bad as halo ep 3(6-8 hour SP campaign),Fo"I'm unfinished" 3, Bio"casual"shock and the other casual unfinished crap pooing out on over priced hardware and games.....*NERD RAGE!!!!!!*

I'll never understand the fanboy rants that go on. I can't understand calling something complete crap when so many people like it. Nintendo certainly doesn't suck at making money. So they put something on the market that everyone can enjoy playing, not just regular gamers. Why take that so personal?

Why take it personal? I'm no fanboy by a longshot, I'm just a fan of games period, but if I give a company 250 bucks for a console in the good faith that i'll be able to use that console to play good games with only to find out that after a year or so only a few halfway decent games have been made for it and the rest is just a bunch of rinky-dink shovelware made for little girls and grandmas and grandpas, well, yeah i'm gonna get a little mad when i realize that the console has nothing to offer me and i'm out some money when i turn around a sell it. Britney Spears doesn't suck at making money either but, well . . .

Frankly...I'd rather pay 250 and 30-40$ a game for half decent than 400+ and 50+ for half decent.....

I dunno the Wii has more people playing and has more game sales total, the whole thing is murky.

My point is mass market production has watered everything down, manure might be more useful but its still sht when they turn a reasonably good product into sht(PS3.....360.....WII....PSP...DS...DVD...Blu ray....) do not keep on buying crap....people wonder why shallowness persists its because they keep supporting the broken and corrupt system....

i luv iut when one guy said nintendo is good at making money..well yeah your right they're good at drawing new audiences. but as much as they like the concept of wishful thinking ,believing they can the 50% or so of the western world who dont play games become gamers, they still much rely on the core gamers. and people who believe (past tense required) in their products. but when you see comments like these from the president
Quote:
as far as the Wii is concerned, we have not found a significant reason to make it HD-compatible at this time.

in other words we dont really care about you, we care about the money so if you buy now then we get rich if not then we get new console out with new features and eventually MAYBE we will give you the finished product.
same happened with DS. sales were slow in japan so they get a new console..this time with an SD slot! what a f***ing revolution we only had external memory in PSP for few years now..same will happen with the wii eventually. jus a side note i hate what sony is doing as well takin out new PSP every year but thats another story that doesnt concern this article..
in conclusion if your a none core gamer or a possible zelda lovin samus huggin mario kissing fan boy, then go with nintendo.
if you like real hardcore games with stunning graphics HD content and much more go with either sony or xbox. both are going to have a great year with their coming line up.

P.S
i am in no way a fanboy.i dont own either console yet my brother in law has all 3 so i experienced all of them. i hate nintendo for what they stand for for the last few years despite good games like metroid and SSBB ,on the other hand both sony and xbox have ALOT to offer you,while as it is just my opinion xbox would be nicer cause its got great games and you can get it at a very low price.
think hard before you part with your hard-earned cash.
peace

Nintendo just wants to sell lo-res activity-based games for very young children and very old adults. Even if the wII was HD, no serious gamer would bother with such a limited selection of games or such a weak CPU. Most of the wII games I have seen would have worked with the N64 if it just had the tilt sensors and a controler that looks like a TV remote...

Yes, this does make them money...lots of it. No need for return customers with such large sales...so no need for quality or features.

Ya? Any game that's not a modern watered down 'hardcore' fan boy would have all 3 consoles because that's what real gamers do there little difference in the PS3 and 360 pick one get a wii or get all 3.

And the WII is on the heels of the 360 power wise since it dose not output to HD it dose not have to waste power trying to keep up appearances...hell if power is everything drop the 360 for a pS3 or a PS3 for PC...wake up.....

Also the split controller motion control pad is better for anything in FP than an antiquated thumb stick that can't be swapped correctly half the damn time....

Isn't a PS3 technically more powerful then a PC? Cause of the Cell processor or something?

I though I read that somewhere...
