hehehe, funny, how about oe of Link, oh wait orlando bloom in LoTR

I hope if Nintendo does it looks somewhat cartoony like it does now. It's the look that works.

Now if they released a game with that running around stomping on 1080p turtles we have a problem, A BIG PROBLEM. Although the guy who made it is pretty talented.

EDIT: Lmfao, this reminds of the Banjo redesign in the Banjo Threeie trailer. Dunno why, it does.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH MAKE IT GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

If you post Reason1-where is reason number two? ;)

I think Ninty have a great niche market of casual and kids' games. Going HD would probably compromise that. Anyway, why do they need to go HD when they're aiming at the family market?

2) - COST
Cost to consumer, cost to Nintendo and cost to humanity! Also, what, would it have Blu-ray? Cha-ching Sony!

I have seen it, I cannot unsee it.

Nintendo have aimed at the casual gamer with the wii because that was the only way they stood a chance against sony and microsoft after the desaster that was the gamecube.

They have some good looking games (for the wii being twilight princess) but if they were to go in to the HD gaming war they wouldn't stand a chance it's two rivals.

the wii does do HD
it only goes up too 480p but thats still HD
just low quality HD

Wow, guys, you're really missing the point here.

Seriously.

Oh mah gods... How sweet would Kirby look in HD, with the blood still dripping from his "apropriated" hats.

Gaaah, mine precious eyes have been soiled.

It's like the sick love-child of Mario and Gollum from the Lord of the Rings.

Don't a like a them tricksy hobbitses...
