Reggie kills that pesky Wii HD in 2011 rumor

In Reggie we trust, right? Hope so, but he just killed quite the rumor in a recent interview.

The president and COO of Nintendo told VentureBeat that the rumored Wii HD, “penned” for 2011, is a joke. Calling it “pure rumor and speculation,” Reggie says that Nintendo isn’t about to show developers prototype version and ask, coyly, “What do you guys think?” That’s not how Nintendo does business, we’re led to believe.

And now that that rumor is dead, I predict we’ll see another one before the end of the day.
