Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime squashes Wii HD rumors… again

Oh, brother. Here we go again. Just over a year after Nintendo’s own Reggie Fils-Aime denied the existence of a forthcoming Wii HD, the bigwig is having to make that very same denial again. Naturally, a few new rumors of an HD-enabled Wii have surfaced since that fateful day in October of 2008, and with the recent price drop, it made sense to think that the Big N might actually be looking ahead. Instead, it seems that it’s perfectly content selling hundreds of thousands of consoles that want nothing to do with modern amenities like “HDMI,” “1080i” and “things that the PS3 and Xbox 360 have offered since day one.” The man’s exact quote?

“I don’t know how forcefully we can say there is no Wii HD.”

And Reggie, we don’t know how much more forcefully you can continue to break our hearts.

    There's no use to stress: your eyes aren't deceiving you, and the year most probably isn't 2015. Still, that's not stopping Mattel from teasing the enduring hoverboard on the Ny Toy Fair. First made famous by Marty McFly in Back to the longer term Part II, the product became something of Hollywood lore when the movie's director, Robert Zemeckis, insisted the contraption was real.
