Rumor: Nintendo Set to reveal HD Wii at E3

[Jason1]

Am I the only one that likes what I hear so far? Nintendo is FINALLY accepting HD technology for their next console, and from my understanding it appears motion control will be an option, but not necessairly a necessity as it was with the Wii. (and if anyone tries to argue with me, how many games had no motion control at all? Very few. Some definatley should have, but they always snuck some annoying motion control in there that was unnecessary.)

Plus, I think the screen in the controller could be a good idea, although I'll admit it sounds like it will make the controller cost a pretty penny.

Yeah, I'm not getting the negativity. Maybe its just a knee-jerk reaction to all the excitement (and following disappointment) from the Gamecube and Wii?

I haven't heard anything crazy exciting, but it doesn't sound bad either. I'll probably buy one and I'll probably like the Zelda game they make for it, if nothing else.

I don't think they are "accepting" it, much like when they switched to CD for the Gamecube, they just know it is harder to build a non-HD console this time around.

It was always a price/ownership thing for them.

I'm actually pretty disappointed they seem to be dropping motion. From the split design of the controller to actual motion/pointing, I thought this generation was fine. And was waiting for a refinement of the tech.

Right now, all I see is an expensive console with an expensive controller.
