Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aime, downplayed the Wii's lack of support for HD content on its upcoming Netflix streaming service, set to launch this Spring. Fils-Aime believes Wii owners aren't missing much, due to the fact that the majority of Netflix content is not available in HD.

Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
I know he says there isn't much HD content, but I wish Reed would have said how much there actually is on Netflix, or how much 360 or PS3 owners use it.
I'd stream HD on my Wii...if it was able to.
In the article, Reggie says this:
"But even more importantly than that, the consumer has voted. Over 26 million consumers have bought a Wii. so the consumer is saying for them, the quality of the visual is not nearly as important as the overall entertainment, the overall value of that experience, and that's really what's propelled us."
I don't like that the NOA president is now drawing those same conclusions. I think some Wii gamers really DO enjoy high quality visuals. Sure, most of them own multiple platforms for the HD experience (like myself), but games like Muramasa prove that it isn't all about HD, but about how stylized they are.
I hate Nin's stance on HD.
meh wii fanboys don't care, evidence of the ones on n4g.they'll see a movie 50 x 50 pixels if they could!
If you care about HD, I'm sure you already have another HD capable device that streams netflix in HD
