Did OoT get updated Graphics like SM64?

[QUOTE="PikaPichu"][QUOTE="KewDrew"]All Virtual Console games are upscaled to the Wii's native resolution of 640x480, so in that sense, all Wii virtual console games have "updated graphics". It's just a matter of how noticeable the changes are. Since Mario 64 used character models, the increase in resolution looked much nicer than Mario Kart 64 which uses sprites. Ocarina of Time on virtual console should look exactly the same as it does on the Zelda: Collector's Edition for the GameCube. In other words, yes, it'll look a little better than the N64 version.Sorlok

480p for those with the component cables.

ya im guessing its just upscaling but still the same graphics

though i wouldnt mind a rerelease of this game with better graphics or better yet wheres my ds port of this damnit

Nintendo said that N64 games would have updates...i did not heard anything about the other consoles...???Das_Model_Holy

BTW, 480p is 720*480

Downloaded it right away this morning, and it looks pretty darn good for a N64 game.  I still have my original cart, and tried playing it recently...everything looked muddy and blurred on my hdtv setup.  The VC download it sharp and crisp (I have component cables)...except for the horrible pre-rendered backdrops, they look worse.  Also, the person who mentioned pop-up being bad is right, characters just appear from nowhere.  But its still the same game. 

ps.  The classic controller sucks for OOT...hopefully a GC controller will be better when I try that out.

people online have made texture HD packs for roms for a PC, wonder if Ninty would ever allow them to be sold on wii, to make HD games.

How is the frame rate?whosgotthe311

No, the games aren't in progressive scan no matter what cables you have.

Unless im mistaken, the difference between progressive and interlaced is only at the level of the monitor once you are using a component output. If this is indeed correct, then the game will be 480p.Dust24311

You don't understand.
The games ARE NOT in 480p.
You'll see a better pic then you normally would because of the cables but the games do not take advantage of the progressive scan.

When you have the cables hooked up they output everything in 480p, that doesn't mean everything is able to use it.

[QUOTE="KewDrew"]Jasonguy, I understand what you are trying to say, but you are incorrect. It doesn't matter that games weren't "coded to take advantage" of progressive-scan. The games will look sharper and better in this mode, regardless. Hell, old NES games look better running in 480p and it's not just because of the component cables. Running things in component can still look like ass when in 480i. Example: The Legend of Zelda on the GameCube Zelda Collector's Edition looks nice and sharp running in 480p. If I disable progressive-scan (thus, run it in 480i) it'll look noticeably blurrier. You're wrong. Time to move on. :)Jaysonguy

No, I called Nintendo today and asked them.
How do you think I'm sure I'm right?

The reason the games look better is because of the cables, it's not taking advantage of the progressive scan. Turning off the 480p just drops the signal down going to the Wii, that means it doesn't take advantage of the cleaner signal from the cables. You don't understand how this works.

The games do not and can not take advantage of the progressive scan, all you're seeing is a cleaner signal from the component cables.

Yeah right...sure you did.

Talking to some operator at Nintendo is hardly proof. Most people hardly understand HD, TV's, cables, etc. at all.

Jason, before you do anything else or say anything else, do this:

Get out the Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition or some other game that has old games that "weren't coded to take advantage of progressive", play it in 480i, then play it in 480p (switch the options back and forth in your Wii browser), and tell me that you can't notice a difference. 480p is twice the vertical resolution. Of course there's going to be a difference! Is it as big of a difference as there would be in Gears of War? No. But, the difference is there. At the very least, the text is going to be much crisper. The picture isn't being interlaced in progressive scan. That makes a difference no matter what you're watching, whether it was "meant" to be viewed that way or not.
