Could a new little white box be released in 2011?
Although this news won't come as a shock to most of you, an HD-enabled Wii could be coming as soon as 2011. Speaking with the Financial Times, Yoichi Wada, chief executive officer of Square Enix, expects the successor to the Wii will be launched sometime in 2011 and would be called Wii HD.
Along with the launch year, he also expects functionality more akin to Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, as well as a possible new controller. Although Wada is playing analyst at this point, it is notable to mention that he isn't the first developer to mention the Wii's successor. Suda 51 has also stated that the third game in the No More Heroes franchise will be on the next Nintendo console.

Series not heading to Xbox 360 or PS3.
In an interview with 1up.com, No More Heroes 2 producer Goichi "Suda 51" Suda confirmed that, despite reports to the contrary, the series will be remaining on Nintendo systems for the forseeable future.
Although Suda had been quoted as stating that he would like to look into Microsoft's Project Natal or Sony's PS3 Motion Controller for the future of the franchise, it looks as if he might have been misquoted.
When asked if the series would be leaving Nintendo platforms, Suda says that he would like the next No More Heroes to be on the next-gen Nintendo console, whether it be the "Wii 2" or otherwise. He also states that lead character Travis Touchdown's story will conclude with the next game, and a prospective No More Heroes 3 would be all about a new character.
Definitely good news for Nintendo, as No More Heroes has been one of the definitive sleeper hits of this generation. Keeping the franchise on Nintendo platforms can only help, being one of the few games on the platform that has successfully appealed to the mature gamer.
