<h1>Wii+</h1>
<p>
	<small><strong>If it weren’t</strong> obvious already, this is a hoax; though rather—my honest predictions for
	where Nintendo is going to go, wrapped around a brick and thrown through your window—type of hoax.</small>
</p>

<hr />

<p>
	<strong>The Wii+ (“Wii Plus”)</strong> is Nintendo’s follow up to the incredibly successful Wii console. In
	like manner to the DSi, Nintendo are seeking to “remix” the Wii, rather than replace it with a truly
	next-generation console.
</p>
<dl>
	<dt>Marginally increased graphics power</dt>
	<dd>
		Up to 720p output. Original Wii games upscaled automatically, new games will come “Wii+ Enhanced” using
		the extra graphical power, whilst remaining fully compatible with the original Wii
	</dd>
	<dt>Internal memory upgraded to 2 <abbr title="gig">GB</abbr> (up from 512 <abbr title="meg">MB</abbr>)</dt>
	<dt>The sensor bar comes with Wii Speak built-in</dt>
	<dt>No Gamecube controller ports and Memory card slots!</dt>
	<dd>
		(Reduces cost / complexity?) Gamecube games will continue to work, but saves will be done to the internal
		memory and a new Gamecube-like Wii Classic Controller will be released for separate purchase to play
		Gamecube games.
		<br /><br />
		<small>(It’s been years since the Gamecube died, and games shops either don’t stock Gamecube games, or
		very little. Nintendo are likely trying to move on, in much the same way the DSi dropped the GBA port… as
		well as sell more “New Wii Controls” Gamecube remakes)</small>
	</dd>
	<dt>Wii Sports Resorts bundled in</dt>
	<dd>
		The bundled Wii remote will include the Wii Motion Plus add-on built-in, to coincide with the availability
		of the new built-in Motion Plus remotes for separate purchase
	</dd>
	<dt>Any choice of colour, as long as it’s white</dt>
</dl>
<p>
	The Wii+ will be sold alongside the existing Wii for a period of time (most likely to ‘up-sell’, or whilst
	existing stock depletes). Price, and availability to be announced<abbr title="Psyche!">.</abbr>
