Speaking on a GTTV Nintendo special, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has categorically ruled out the launch of the Wii HD.

"Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes this is going to happen," Fils-Aime told GTTV host Geoff Keighley.

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

Only a few weeks ago on an episode of GT's Bonus Round, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said that he expects the Wii HD to be released in fall 2010.

I don't think they could milk them with it, it'd just be a selling point in the same way that it is for other consoles. The difference with Nintendo is they'll give you an "HD For Dummies" handbook quote with all their adverts for it.

And yes, a Metroid game in HD would be disgustingly good. Though, I don't think the next one will look as good artistically because Team Ninja are doing it instead of Retro, unless they're collaborating, in which case Retro better be working on new IP.

Wii HD might not exist, but a Nintendo 6 HD probably does. The next console wont be an offshoot of Wii, it will be a completely new console that has some variation of motion control, and something completely different. They can categorically deny Wii HD because it wont be called that :D
