Making the Wii SD as opposed to HD was a bit of a controversial decision at the time for Nintendo. HD televisions were starting to break out, and Sony and Microsoft both adapted this functionality for their own consoles – the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Shigeru Miyamoto, reflecting on the decision to go with SD for Wii in an interview with 4Gamer, said that “it would have been great if it were HD in the first place.” He also relayed a sentiment to move on to HD sooner.
An unofficial translation of Miyamoto’s remarks:
Shigeru Miyamoto recently conducted an interview with Japanese publication 4Gamer. Bits and pieces have emerged since then, but a full translation hasn’t made its way online.
Thankfully, one fan has now painstakingly translated the first portion of 4Gamer’s interview. You can find the full thing here. Get ready for a whole bunch of Pikmin 3 talk!

Wii U games have barely made a dent in Ubisoft’s total sales for the past few months. Across April, May, and June, the console contributed to just 3% of the publisher’s sales.
Despite this, Ubisoft still has a lot of content coming to Wii U. Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and Watch_Dogs will all be available for the console before year’s end.
