Wii Component Cable Supports 480p output

Posted in Nintendo Wii on Friday, November 3, 2006, 8:08 | 1 Comment

Imagine playing games with Wii high definition TV in 480 via progressive scan! To do that, you’ve got to buy these so called “Wii Component Cable”. The cables, whcih cost $29.99 will only be available online at major retail stores such as Nintendo’s store (who else?), Best Buy, Circuit City and EB games.

If you already own GameCube component cables, you’re out of luck because these are not compatible with the Wii console.

Why Nintendo is again only selling its component cables via online retailers — as it did with GameCube — is a mystery, but at least the solution will be available immediately.

Nearly all of the 30 or so Wii launch window games run in 480p and 16:9 modes.
