Nærmest lige siden Nintendo lancerede deres Wii, har spekulationerne gået på at det ikke kunne vare lang tid inden en Wii HD også ville finde vej til markedet, men i et nyt interview med Kotaku er Reggie Fils-Aime overraskende definitiv i hans benægtelse af en sådanne konsol.
Således siger han at det ikke er vejen Nintendo har valgt at gå, og siger at firmaet ikke ser nogen grund til at tage springet til HD, og i stedet gemmer kræfterne til den dag hvor teknologien i stedet lader dem gøre noget helt nyt, som den nuværende konsol ikke er i stand til. Han siger yderligere at et sådanne projekt stadig er langt ude i fremtiden.
Citatet lyder således:
"The fundamental issue in the logic flow is that - and this is what I'm hearing, whether it's from you or Geoff or Michael himself - is that, gosh it's such an opportunity to take HD capability and link it with the Wii. And what we have said, repeatedly, is that that's not the way we at Nintendo do things. The way we at Nintendo do things is, you know, when we will move to a new generation, it's because there are some fundamental things the [current] console cannot do. What that says is that simply the addition of HD capability will not be the next step for us. There will be more to it. There will be additional capability. There will be additional elements, and, given that, it is far into the future."
