Will it still output Wii graphics in 480P with the respective cables?

If it's a huge 1080P tv, then it won't look good at all, just a heads up.

Doesn't look that bad on a 720p tv.

NES games will still be 240p and so on

It will look bad or good depending on the picture processing inside the TV. You really need to check out what a 480p picture looks like stretched over that 1080x1920pixel screen first though I'm not sure if stores will let you connect your Wii up to their TV's, though they might if they think it'll gurantee them a sale. and of course the size of the screen and your veiwing distance away from it will play a factor too. I'm at the moment looking for some hardware + software that will let me input a HD single in to my computer (480p / 720p / 1080i/) then use the power of my computer to upscale it and output it to my HDTV in 1080p format. reason for this the pocessor in my computer will be far superiour than any chip built in to any HDTV so the picture will look that much better. but so far that kind of equipment is pretty expensive so i'll have to wait a while

The wii wil still output 480P thru Component, of course, but the HDTV will probably upscale the image to a higher def. This will result in video lag usually, especially for 60Fps games. It depends on how good the scaler in the TV is.
