NINTENDO HAS plans to release a new version of the Wii next year that will ship with a HD DVD player, according to industry rumours.

Gameinformer.com quotes Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime as saying that Nintendo decided not to ship with high-definition capability when it launched on Sunday because it wanted to keep the cost down.

However, his words indicate that it may have plans to release one in the future. Later next year Nintendo has plans to release a new version of the Wii and Gameinformer is speculating that this will be when the outfit will stick on the new drive.

A spokesNintendo said that the outfit was "absolutely not currently announcing any plans to upgrade the maximum resolution from 480p". But then again everyone knews that.

However, the spokesNintendo admitted it shouldn't be impossible in theory. In fact, said the spokesman, Microsoft was able to patch the Xbox 360 to support 1080p and Nintendo has already released a patch to allow Wii gamers to transfer game saves to SD cards.

As of tuesday, I got a wii from my uncle who came down from Canada....

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I got zelda with it and wii sports.

This semi review is coming from one happy nintendo customer (yeaaa..im guilty of fanboyism now) and someone who hasnt experienced wireless controllers yet!

Firstly, Wii sports is such a fun game, for the entire night we didnt even touch zelda, we got other family members who dont play games involved...  Tennis rocks , bowling rocks, baseball is ok..but im not a fan of baseball..soooo....golf is fun , if you like golf , and boxing is pretty damned good!

With boxing the motion sensor sometimes doesnt respond..but the pace of the game more than makes up for it when your swingly your wii wildly to hit a double shot to the groin on your opponent. ( I played an entire match with shots to the groin , i knocked my male opponent out ..crushing a mans balls on the wii , most fun ever)

With Zelda , links got a brand new bag of tricks with the wiimote....movements are fun , menus are pretty clean and well layed out. The combat has gotten a overhaul into the kickass direction , swing wildly, or make gentle strokes, its up to you...using projectiles couldnt be simpler with pin-point precision by way of the wii mote. Link now kicks some major behind with his sword. Graphics are beautiful considering its a Game cube game on the Wii. Sound is dead on , the little wii mote speaker adds some nice effects to it. Swining, slicing, rolling , flipping, all done simply with the wii mote. I prefer the new controls over the windwaker's.

The system is small , sleek and silent. They took a page out of apples design and made one sexy system. Transport is going to be a breeze with this thing.

Also the Wii channel interface is slick and easy...but as of now im using a wireless usb port to connect to the internet....can anyone give me some advice on how to use my dsl line so i can speed up my connection to play games online?

Overall im damn happy i bought this system and I cant wait to get my hands on other games!

[Crixx_Creww]

omg dude yu rule!!!

pleaseeee bring de sports and zelda down hq a weekend nah!!!

i didnt even know they had  boxing on it!! but that make sooo much sense omg!!!

and of course zelda will own! and when they make a star wars for the wiimote ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that will be a dream come true!!

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 I want to review it for the new student newspaper  : ) .

[BeoBear]

Errr, we havent seen the full power of the wii yet....the prettiest game on it is Zelda and thats a game cube game.

And what do you mean by powerful?

I for one would love to play with a wiightsaber.

[Crixx_Creww]

wiight saber !! bawwwwwww send that to lucas!!

lol


aye larry, that thing bout ganner is interesting no ass!!

i never got to read the whole jedi order, which pisses me off, i only got the end
and saw the references to the big fight where ganner died and impressed the hell out of the vong.

I dont think kyle could have done that though. Ganner sounds way more force oriented than kyle so it was a great rewrite.

My brother in Florida was out in the cold (literally, it was about 50-60 degrees) this morning trying to score a Wii. He camped outside Gamestop because the sales person had told him they had 6 Wiis for sale when they opened at 8. He happened to be first in line because he got there at 1 am. Yes, he is quite crazy. He had already bought 4 games on Sunday while trying to get the system, Zelda, Rampage, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Super Monkey Ball. So he actually got the Wii this morning after waiting outside and called to let me know how it was going. He said that some of his friends were there and they were getting real into Wii Sports. Of course, they were swinging the controller around like mad people even though you don't have to. I envy them, the lucky bastards. I told him to return Rampage and Ultimate Alliance and to get Rayman. From what I have seen, that game looks like it is crazy fun especially with other people around.

AN OFFICIAL statement from the console maker, Nintendo said that it has managed to flog more than 600,000 consoles in just eight days.

According to Reuters Nintendo's Wii-related revenue had hit $190 million since the machine's November 19 release.

Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime said that his outfit had shipped retailers several times the amount of hardware Sony had delivered for its launch and still sold out.

Sony has not mentioned how many PS3s it has flogged in North America so far, but claims it will have shipped a million units by the end of the year. Units are so scarce however, that the only place to buy them is for around $1000 on eBay.

The Vole says it has sold six million Xbox 360 boxes since November 2005.

this is yahoo's take on the above

[Nephilim]

lol we go need to build plexi-glass sheilds to play

[W1nTry]

or just control yourselves, if you know that you over wild when playing games then tone it down when using the Wii. I'm almost certain that all those people with this problem does normally 'wild it up' when playing games (ie button mash and toss controller when dead).
Either way, hopefully a 3rd party manufacturer will release a better wrist strap soon, or the ycould also do a Wii-mote skin that has some grips.

Well said. I particularly like the idea of 3rd party support... how bout we all rally together and deisgn, patent and manu rubber/silicon grips with better wrist strats BRISK and make some cash off this idea... I am sure its going to happen. Its like all those millions of skins for the iPods, heck even the 360 itsef has different skins....

[BeoBear]

I think Pelican done making some 3rd party things..

From what i see with me wiimote..you have to give that thing a reaaaal hard pelt for that thing to buss....ah wonder if it hit somenbody it could kill them......."death by wii"

[TrinireturnofGamez]

Wii are winning... over 1 million wii sold in the same space as 300 000 PS3 , nintendo said they plan to sell 4 million worldwide by year end , and it looks like they are right. I'll wait till the price comes down a bit to get one , since its so light it won't be much to ship it.
