    Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime Quashes Wii HD Rumors

    The big man himself says rumors of a Wii HD with Blu-ray player and 1080p are a non-starter. With the 360's Natal and the PS3's motion-wand on the way, Nintendo better have something besides vitality sensors planned. [GameTrailersTV via TechRadar]
