What do you expect? GameCube was more powerful than PS2, and performed as well as Xbox with many titles (Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 4, etc). You think Wii is SUPPOSED to look WORSE than Xbox 1?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Point is, if N had them hanging right there in the store, they would sell.
Consumer: What's this do then?
Store: Better pic.
Consumer: $

This seems more like N has to prove some point or something. YOU NOT CARE. THIS NOT NEW ERA!
Though I don't think it's even possible to get a 4:3 TV over here, if you can even get a widescreen without HD anymore...

Composite video cables can carry a widescreen video signal too. Most HDTV's by default stretch the signal to fit the screen, so if he turns on the Widescreen option in-game, it'll look "right".

I hope this isn't the only one being sold. 60 dollars is a high price.

$60 is a high price for a Wii component + audio cable? Checked eBay for GameCube component cable prices recently? Now that Nintendo's sold out (not just online, but by phone order too), that's the only place to get them.

Most amazing jew boots

I haven't read much of this thread lately, but I have to ask the question:

Does anyone else's local areas have a handful of Wiimotes in stores, but NO nunchuks to go with them?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And all this talking about updating etc... Does the Wii have to be updated once you take it out of the box?

Apparently, you have to update the Wii to have the ability to access SD cards and manage data for them (both saves and virtual console games can be copied).. but apparently copying to the SD card has an insanely slow write speed or something. Kotaku put a video on YouTube showing it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
