Wii HD in 2011?
Big old rumor alert here so grab that chunk of salt you keep laying around for just such an occasion. It seems that SquareEnix head, Yoichi Wada, is predicting that Nintendo will unleash a Wii HD with graphic capabilities similar to the current PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2011.
This of course would not be the first time for such a rumor but it is the first one I know of coming from the head of a major game development studio.
An HD Wii that supports HDMI and 1080p with actual current gen graphics would go a long way toward swinging my attention back to the big N. Of course playing catchup in 2011 is all fine and dandy until the next Xbox releases in 2012 (another rumor, that one).
Nintendo Says: Sit On It
A European patent reveals a new Wii peripheral tentatively called the Nintendo Wii-tarded (not really). The inflatable seat … thing, to the left there is supposed to house a Wiimote to sense balance shifts and use the nun-chuck or second Wiimote to simulate riding a horse or other animal or perhaps a vehicle (like a motorcycle for shark jumping I would presume).
I’m speechless and/or choking on my own laughter here so I’ll just give you some links. Joystiq, European patent.
