Nintendo Picture Clarity

I have a 52" Toshiba HDTV and there is something about Smash Bros. that has really been bothering me. On the title screen and all throughout gameplay there are tiny pixels that show up in the background that do not fit in how they should. They flash on and off and make the picture look terrible. I have not noticed this on any other of my games. It is exremely noticable on the title screen when set to progressive mode. I have notice it slighty on the main menu page for the Wii now that I have seen it on Smash Bros. I have both Smash Bros./Wii and my tv set to widescreen with component hookups. Does this game truly look this bad or is it possibly my game? Should I just try and call Nintendo and see what they have to say? Any help would be appreciated.

You do kow the Wii is not HD, right?

Of course it's not going to look fantastic.

Sure, Wii games arent going to look excellent on HD tellies, but that is not really the question...

Im not that knowledgable in this kind of thing, but what youre describing is exactly how I see some of my games on the HDTV at home. When I play the same games at college (on an SDTV), I dont have the problem. Maybe you could plug the Wii into something else to see if the problem persists? Then at least you will know if its because of the HDTV, or if the console / game is a dud.

could be gpu issue, i know i get the same problem but curiously on one game only so far, TP, SMG, MPC, NMH, and RE4 are the ones i hear people complain about artifacts and such but i have nvr had such a problem, i have scarface and i get artifacts all over the place, just not all at once or anything but its enough to bug me, ninty said it was gpu/heatsink issueOmatron

All of the graphically intense games on the Wii seem to give my particular system an issue, and I reckon its that gpu issue too (I have a launch Wii). You dont happen to know how much it costs for the problem to get sorted? Ive only just started to notice, and the warrantee has expired already.

just remember to breathe and relax because even when you know what you are talking about they make the conversation painfully understandable, my fav rep quote when i last called was "ok now sir, do....you...have...the wii remote....near...you, pick...it...up...so...that...the...top...is...facing you, turn...it....around, now you...should...see...the...back...of...your...wii...remote, gently...spank...the...back...of...your...wii...remote" im sure not all the reps are like this but its both hilarious/frustrating how far they go to make sure you understand, that entire convo btw was about 25min lolOmatron

Wow, Im not the kind of person that can handle being spoken to like Im 5. lol. Ah well. Ive heard that the customer service is second to none, at least its good theyre like that than rude, snotty toss pots. :)

Thanks for the warning pal!

I occasionally get the flashing pixels when playing Twilight Princess...
