i noticed about 15%-20% of difference switching from COmponent vs standard cable tat came with the Wii
this was on a 42" Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV. i was playing zelda and did a compairson with the two cables by switching back and forth while on the same screen. WIth component the picture was brighter and sharper, while with standard cable the picture was much more blurry

uhg..wtf is with the games u can download???

i expected like Mario kart, SNES mario, etc.

only games i'm interested in are Street fighter and Mario64

they gonna put out alot more or what? :(

lots more will be coming out, they are slowly releasing them all

Super Mario World (snes mario) is coming this month I think, and if you dig that you should grab Kirby when it's released. Mario Kart 64 is supposed to also come out sometime soon, but I want my oldschool Mario Kart too!

i got the same TV. do u have Shaw HD? when i connect my dvi-d to hdmi it shifts my pictures to the right..
forced to use components

NO i havent got the SHAW HD, thinking about it

WTF, so when u switch back to components the pictures is centered? while swithcing back to HDMI it gets shifted?

thats pretty wierd... i got bell expressvu HD and i haven't had any problems watsoever.

yup.. i called shaw they said its not compatible w/ sharp tv aquos.. they said maybe a firmware for the shaw hd box will fix it but they dont know when they will or if they will update firmware..

so if u want it to display properly..he said get the pvr shaw hd box.. :flamemad:

^^haha sounds like an up-sell opportunity to me

wikipedia has a list

finally check my wii #

2548 6624 9734 9255

updated!

for the VC games, do you need the wii classic controller to play, or can you use gamecube controller?

can somone update that wikipedia link?

the one posted on the last page is broken and i cant find it on there

oh, and btw if anyone is interested, on wiichat they have formed a petition to try and get Earthbound on the VC, if anyone is interested i'll post the link lol

i dont think it will do much those as there is only 20 sig's :(

It depends on the game, it tells you before you download the game. Most NES games can be played with the Wiimote, but you can use the other controllers.


Platform Wii Remote Classic Controller GCN Controller
NES Yes Yes Yes
SNES No Yes Yes
N64 No Yes Yes
Mega Drive/Genesis Some Yes Some
TurboGrafx-16 Yes Yes Some

Although it is quite fun to play some retro gaming, the VC games IMO are overpriced.

my friends code:

7437-0278-7375-3915

i already added some people here, but then it was taking to long... haha

So who picked up 1 of the 12 Wii's I release today. Damn ppl are so fast and their stupid macros they coded. I had one released to my friend in his cart ready he couldn't even get to the pay button and it was unavailable already.

how do u add friend codes??

You add them to your address book in Wii mail.

k my code is

4877 3781 9603 3455

i'll add everyone in this thread to this point

how do u know if someone added u or not?

You'll be able to send msg to them. You can't send anything, Mii's or msgs if they have not added you.

but ur wii wont tell u that someone has added u or not.

once u add their's, and they have added yours, the contact will be available to send msg's to in the adress book, thats the only way you will know

i guess it kinda makes sense, considering that at some point the 2 people would have had to exchanged #'s making it so they actually know eachother

btw, i added u hyde, send me your Mii :)
