Appearing as a guest on Gametrailers' "Bonus Round" discussion panel, Pachter commented that we'd see a HD Wii "next fall" (Spring), which would put Nintendo in a stronger position to maintain competition against both Microsoft and Sony who will equally be launching new additions to their respective consoles in the form of Project Natal for Xbox 360 and the PS3's new motion-control device.
Nintendo have been hinting at bigger things to come for Wii in 2010, and with Pachter's connections in the industry and his foresight, it's not really a bad thing to be hoping for this to become a reality.

You'll need to buy a new box, but I would expect that existing games & peripherals would (f***en hopefully) be compatible - even at SD - to keep the migration cost down.

its more about gameplay and social interaction, rather than needing the whole house empty to play xbox 360 because its generally like masturbation :
you do it alone and it annoys other people to be around when you'e doing it.
but yeah, who wouldnt want a better looking version of there console?

- Wii games are already multi-resolution, varying between 480i 480p and 576i
- Many game textures are already a higher resolution than you can typically see - so that in close ups, the textures are not super blurry.
Hence it should be possible with the right hardware (and evidently is for some games given the PC-based HD project) to simply tell the game to run at another resolution, which if nothing else will let you see the full resolution of the textures from further away.
They certainly wont magically look as good as 360/PS3 games, but if done right they could build a HD console that increased the visual quality of existing games without creating a whole new platform.

For me.. The consoles got to last a couple of years, not a year and a bit.
