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

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!

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.

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.

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

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
