Michael Pachter shares another batch of his opinions in the latest Bonus Round show. This time, he's setting a date for the release of the Wii HD. And it's coming as soon as next year.

Geoff Keighley, host of the show, asked Pachter: "The Wii HD is not coming this year, it's coming next fall right Pachter?" To which Pachter affirmed, "Yes, next fall."

It's no confirmation from Nintendo, but it sure would be good news to those who have been hoping for a hardware upgrade on the Wii.

Though the news is like 1 week old. Its pretty cool.
Its coming out next year. I think its cool that now it stands a chance by delivering better games.

Hey, we might get graphics better then the N64/gamecube, i was getting tired of all the games with terrible graphics.

Zelda would have been insane if the Wii had the hardware capibilities of the other next gen systems.

wait, zelda was still insane.

Does wii seriously need to divide their gaming targets even more? What's next 4 versions of the wii and games that can only be played on that version. This is getting ****ing brilliant nintendo...

So will this make my Wii obsolete?

If yes, **** it. I'm sticking with Xbox.

Well this would make the target even higher.
I think most gamers really care about graphics now, and some with the actual types of games.

Its been said that many of the developers have passed on the Wii because it couldn't handle the power needed for games.
Resident Evil 5 was passed because of this.

Also its not mentioned here but the Next Gen Wii is supposed to run under Blu-Ray discs. So that increases it even more.

I think its a great step for the Wii especially if they make still moddable. :P

That isn't clear actually.

I guess is that they will do something like they are doing with the PS2 now.
Games are still coming out for that, but better games for the PS3.
