Austalian newspaper The Courier News recently managed to squeeze in an interview with Nintendo big wig Shigeru Miyamoto.
The crux of the interview was based around many of the news items im sure everyone is now fully aware of, ie: end of year release date, the wiimote, and Nintendo's ethos of gameplay over graphics. On the subject of the 'game over graphics' standpoint Miyamoto made an interesting comment: He said, “A lot of companies are talking about high-definition and graphics and Nintendo thinks graphics are very important too. You have to look at the number of consumers who actually have access to the type of TV that can allow them to enjoy those high-end graphics. We thought it was too soon to focus on the high-end graphics.” He also goes on to add, “Maybe a few years down the road then definitely we will probably look in that direction, but at this point in time we thought it better to use technology not to simply try to re-create the same games over again with better graphics but instead to try and do something new and unique.” |

Interesting. But he is right, not everyone has access to a high definition TV, give it a couple of years, and all TVs will be HD, just like digital TV, soon everyone will have it.

Controversial.

hd tv is more or less just a television signal in another format. and eventually, every tv will recieve it in this format. just like japana has. In japan, you can actually watch television on your ds, because of the format of it over there, sadly, we cant do that just yet.

who remembers back to the launch of the Nintendo 64?
remember how it had the funny AV Connector instead of the oldschool RF unit the SNES had? remember how we all looked for somewhere to plug it into our TVs and AV sockets were nowhere to be found? Now every TV comes defaultly with AV inputs, and in a few years to come every TV manufactured will come with a Hi-Def output by default. A mate of mine had to buy the RF converter for his N64, good days they were |

just as long as it's color and at least standard def resolution, providing it's nintendo, I'll buy it. I don't understand the others, you go to someone's house and play Xbox, the goal of the game is to shoot each other. Then you switch to PS2, and shoot at each other; it just looks better. Then you go to 360 and it starts looking preatty damn good, but you're still just shooting at each other.

xbox 360 on big screen hdtv, not a great improvement, the biggest issue with graphics are the developers, if they dont take the time or its too hard to program for then the game will look horrible, from what I hear wii is the easiest of the new consoles to program for altogether.

I've heard things like that too, and the developing kit is only 2000.00 USD so it's more accessable for small time developers. I heard somewhere that some of it is similar to the GC so many developers already know what they're looking at.
The PS3 could be rediculous to develop for since it's running a lot of brand new and relatively unknown hardware, such as the cell processor and all the other garbage.

I had the RF unite for my SNES and then I didn't buy another console until the PS2 (I know, it's not Nintendo, sorry) and by then my house had newer TVs with the av stuff.
