According to The Inquirer, a drunken Nintendo executive has spilt the beans on the Wii graphics processor.

Apparently, the Wii graphics processor is totally capable of full hi-definition graphics, they are just hidden for a number of reason.

“The reason you don’t see it is twofold, the fact that the console can’t really push HD rez at reasonable frame rates and the fact that it would cost more. The latter will probably become a moot point with the first Wii refresh but the former problem is really here to stay.”

If Nintendo take the same direction as they did with their little handhand beauty, the Nintendo DS, maybe we can expect to see something very special in the future from the Wii.
