When I switched my ps2 from the Yellow one to component it made a big difference on a standard "enhanced" tv. Numbers are so much more readable, and no fuzzy jaggies

I was thinking the Wii was 1080i like my HD. If its only 480, then yeah RGB components are fine, this is a good thing for me since my TV only has 1 HDMI input, but I have a free RGB.

How is it for audio? RCA?

I just bought some 3rd Party Wii components.

And no it won't do 720p or 1080i, but even so components are good enough for that....

Yeah audio, nothing special.... sounds good though.
Dolby ProLogic II

Nintendo is going to fix the strap problem for all of those exuberant wiiplayers lol
going to make the strap one millimeter thick

It's cool to see a big company listen to their customers and actually change/fix a problem/flaw.

I've always like the Metal Slug games...

This is cool.
Now, cool point:

There are like a bazillion controller styles in this game.
Both nunchuk+wiimote, wiimote, tilt wiimote... and get this.... GameCube controller. Pretty much means that ANY game can be setup to utilize it.

What I found kinda odd is that there was no "Classic Controller" support, considering it'd be just as easy to map as the Cube one.

So a little bit of both sides: BOO to no Classic, YAY to it being able to use the Cube Controller...
