[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

You sure you can't access the save data from the SD card?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I could ofcause import it if I had some caraazy desire for waiting another month to play.

This will be the only time I buy games in Denmark though.
Just like I don't own a single native bought Cube or DS game anymore.

This is why:
$355: Wii
$65: Component Cable
$50: Nunchuck unit
$100: Wii Play
$80: Red Steel

Zelda Twilight Princess = MIA?

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

It does better than you'd think, although I do agree with you about getting the "fun and simple" games. I just about threw a fit when I found out Wii Play wasn't coming stateside. I think they are holding it off 'til the new year so they have some games to release in winter/spring .

I was speaking idiomatically.

I still havent gotten mine and I ordered them before....if I'm getting mine after cut off date people something is fucked up.

I ordered mine a day before the cutoff date, and mine are already shipped and scheduled to come in on thursday this week. Did you check your nintendo.com account to see if they have shipped? I never got a shipping confirmed email.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

immp.....

Dude, that might be the worst news ever. Sorry about that man. I'll let you know how much of a difference they make.

FELIPE NO

Component cables came in yesterday and there is lots of gorgeous Wii goodness to be had.

This is a side note to everyone, cause I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but Gamecube progressive scan games DO run in 480p on Wii just like they would on GC. I checked Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime2, FF Crystal Chronicles, and a score of others. Damn these games look good in 480p. Gonna have to pull out some of those GC games I never finished (Skies of Arcadia, what?).

How ya doing, buddy?

Haven't tried it yet, but I can when I get home on Friday. My roomie will have Toejam and Earl by then, and we have component cables hooked to HDTV. Will let you know if it is truly progressive output.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

VG Charts "for one" is reporting 3+million worldwide... Sounds about right since you can't find 'em for sale, and assuming Nintendo reached the 4 million by the end of the year like they forecasted.

I've been noticing that the outlines on everything look jagged or they look like they are moving. This was a suprise to me b/c I am using the component cables so I have no idea what the problem may be. The only thing I can think of is maybe it is my hdtv. I can't really think of anything else. The thing is that on my old standard tv, this never happened. Everything was smooth and the outlines on everything didn't move and I was using composite back then. Is there a way to fix this problem b/c it's doing the same thing on my other consoles as well. Thanks!

It's called aliasing and no there ien't. Read up on it here.

Basically your new HDTV supports resolutions of at least 1280x720. The Wii is outputing 848x480 (or so). This image when upscaled will show jagged edges prominently because the pixels are basically enlarged. So you will see stair stepped "lines" from the edges of polygons. On a regular TV (SDTV), the picture resolution is about 320x240. So fitting a 640x480 image in that resolution will look very better because the 320x240 will not show the pixels stairstepping because it physically can't.

It's kind of hard to explain, but I think you'll get it.
