The short answer is, no, but future Nintendo consoles are pretty much guaranteed the crisper visual modes due to HD-enabled TV sets being close to standard these days.
"If we have an opportunity to make a new console, it will probably support HD because it is now common throughout the world. However, as far as the Wii is concerned, we have not found a significant reason to make it HD-compatible at this time. What is the significant meaning to users? I don't think we should do it unless we find that reason. If we decide for other reasons to make new hardware, then HD is one of the things we would naturally add"
