Nier developer wants an HD Wii, stat!

Nier director Yoko Taro's got a blog. Sometimes, he writes things on that blog. Sometimes, those things are about the Wii's lack of graphical power. This is one of those times.

According to a post translated by Andriasang, Taro got an eyeful of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. And while Crystal Bearers sparkled just enough to get passing marks from the developer, the Wii itself didn't fare so well.

"Bearers' graphics are well done," Taro wrote. "I get the feeling that you could call them the highest level for Wii. However, SD graphics are just painful. This is the limits of the hardware, so you can't do anything about it."

"Nintendo should use their profits to make a backwards compatible HD Wii, or release an optional upconverter for the Wii, or give the television industry money to properly handle SD video," he suggested.
