Nintendo Life is teasing Wii HD details from “a trusted source,” but are remaining tight-lipped on the specifics for the moment. They do offer some advice though:
All we can say so far is: don’t believe everything you read online. Other than from us, of course. May hear solid details next week…
Beyond that, there’s a few tweets that are difficult to distinguish whether or not they’re simply opinions or hints at what may be revealed in the coming weeks. For instance, one tweet seems to discredit the Project Café rumors:
Nintendo is a Japanese company. Why would a secret project have a French name?
They also claim a touchscreen on the controller “doesn’t make sense,” explaining:
Nintendo has sold more handheld consoles than anyone. Why have a controller with a screen in? Why not use DS?
Finally, they say the Wii HD “should be very powerful,” which echoes previous rumors, although sounds the most speculative of the bunch. Let’s hope they let slip what they know before April 26th rolls around so we can indulge in a little extra speculation.
Update: Nintendo Life has continued the teasing, saying the details they know about the Wii HD are “significant enough that we can’t reveal what they are,” so we probably won’t end up getting any specifics from them.
Update #2: Maybe I spoke too soon. A reader of this blog got Nintendo Life to share that the Wii HD will be “a combination of everything you would expect from Nintendo and yet surprising at the same time,” implying in a later tweet that the system will have innovative hardware, innovative software and raw power.
