No HD. Which leads to such nonsense as Microsoft claiming that the xbox is the fastest selling next generation HD console. And that is true! They just gloss over the fact that the non-HD wii is clobbering them. 480p only. No HD.

If it does, then it would have to go as high as 1080p in resolution. For some reason, I don't think that the graphics processors on the Wii could handle it (they deliberately go for simple graphics). The HD support would be nice, but I haven't made the jump to HD yet, so it doesn't so much effect me either. ;) Michael Not sure if Wii supports HD.

Not that it bothers me much :)... Any ideas if the future of the Wii will include better than the 480p? Not that it bothers me much :) …

I really truly wish that the wheel was a fun, useful, good control mechanism, since it really is neat. But it's just not accurate enough for serious play. Switch to playing with the wiimote/nunchuk combination and trust me. When you do that, its a much more enjoyable game. Only suckers play Mario Kart with the steering wheel, unfortunately.
