Since our division has been reviewing and developing a number of hardware, we are looking into many different things, including HD and SD. Also included is the review over the systems with which the creators can easily create video games with limited budget and resources. However, we have not come to the stage where we can announce which is the most appropriate means. Since an increasing number of the TV sets at home around the world are becoming HD today, it will be natural for a machine to be able to generate graphics that people will be accustomed to see on HD televisions. Since the ordinary TV programs are now shifting to HD, moving to HD appears to me a natural flow. - Genyo Takeda (General Manager, Integrated Research & Development Division)
I have no doubt that Nintendo's next console will be HD, but I don't know if the Wii will get an HD version. You never know what Nintendo is going to do with their hardware revisions. I never expected the DSi LL, so I guess a Wii HD isn't out of the question!

Wiiware devkits and development costs almost the same as full retail development. So no, they don't have it.
Of course, a next, stronger console with HD that is also backward compatible with Wii would be great.
Considering HD was still rather expensive and not exactly sporting a high adoption rate back then, your statement only would've likely translated into SD/HD resolution[s] compatible, not SD/HD resolutions and graphics like you wish, ya know.
Thus the Wii would still be where its at today in the minds of gamers and the industry at large.
Yeah, and the Wii would be even more expensive than the PS3. That's the main reason for the Wii not having HD.
Funny, the Xbox 360 was only $300/$400 at launch. That is less than the PS3's price of $500/$600.
It'll be just like the online features of the Wii this generation: Somewhat, but not fully there.
After all, he was the one that suggested the Wii could connect to both a TV screen and a computer monitor (ignore VGA boxes for a second there).

Uh, duh, you already have it. It's called WiiWare and DSiWare, just make the systems and restrictions you made less retarded.
