Unfounded Rumor: New System to be Revealed At GDC

According to an anonymous source obtained by videogamer.com, Nintendo will be unveiling a new platform sat the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this year.

The source, an "employee at a major international publisher," says hay this new system is already being developed for.

Of course, there is no detail of whether this would be yet another handheld or a new console. This could possibly be the often predicted WiiHD. Nintendo representatives have said in the past that just adding HD to the current version of the Wii would not be enough.

Look at the difference between the DS lite and the DSi. Adding HD and maybe a little more data storage to the Wii would be a much bigger upgrade than the DSi was.

GDC is scheduled to start March 9th.

At any rate this is just a rumor that will probably bear no truth.

Video: Reggie Says Wii Owners Don't Want HD

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime went on CNBC earlier to talk about Netflix and the Wii. When asked about Netflix's lack of HD availability on the Wii Reggie commented on how Wii owners don't want HD.

While I'll agree I rather have a fun game than a pretty one, there's nothing wrong with having both.
