Rumorville: No Blu-ray for Wii

Between Blu-rays and Wiis and all things techno in between, it's fascinating.

The latest squashed rumor was about Nintendo R&D using the Wii as a device to watch movies via Blu-ray technology. According to docadamsaudio.com's account of a GameHead interview, someone outside the Co stumbled into the R&D department at Nintendo and all heck broke loose.

Sounds too much like something out of a 1970s Kikaida-Dr. Gill-Dr. Komyoji encounter.

In any event, Nintendo of America chief Reggie Fils-Aime promises a "surprise" in September. Oh well. I won't be holding my breath. I care more about the Co's stock than its games and technology. That could change, however. That Wii thingamajig is truly hypnotizing.
