According to an interview with GTTV, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime has vehemently denied the rumors that the company is planning an HD version of the popular Wii for 2010.
Top videogame industry analyst Michael Pachter made waves recently when he reported that he expects an HD version of the Wii next year.
“Michael [Pachter] continues to be the only one who believes this is going to happen,”says Fils-Aime. “I don’t know how forcefully we can say that there is no Wii HD.”
That should put the rumors to rest, for now.

Sony has followed through on its promise that it would become the first studio to premiere a major motion picture rental on a networked video hub before it premieres on physical media.
Owners of Sony BRAVIA HDTV sets with Internet Video Link will soon have the option to rent Hancock , almost a month before its stated DVD release date. The options include a 720p HD version as well as a 480p version for users with slower Internet connections.
The rentals are similar to those of iTunes in which the rental is yours for 24 hours of unlimited viewing. The price however is a totally different story. Apple and VUDU charge $6 USD for new-release 720p titles while the new Sony titles will cost $10 USD.
Interestingly, the electronics giant added that they will be sending free copies of Hancock on Blu-ray to any user who rents the movie and signs up online. Pretty good deal if there are no other catches.
