it would never have gotten the publicity that it has gotten, since when you hear "Nintendo revolution" you'd just be like, oh another console
but "Nintendo wii" it's like wth?!?!? what did they name that?monty_4256

I agree with you 100%. Yea, when we first heard the new name, it was horrible. Well.... it still not great, but it was a smart move on Nintendo. Yes, their were millions of puns about it, but it got people talking. It was unique, and totally insane. The media would have completely ignored it if it was sill canted the Revolution. Think about it; do you hear the media talking about the 360 or PS3? (I'm not bashing them; I love all the consoles. :)) No, you don't because they're just "another console".

Actually, component cables can support up to 1080p. It's all very confusing, because there are different types of component cables; I spent a lot of time researching it. Older specs say it doesn't, but times have changed. What's different now is manufactures of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD don't allow a 1080p signal to pass through a component connection, since it doesn't have DRM protection. Yea, it gets really confusing.

Now to your question. Really, nothing will happen. Depending on the cable you use, it will be a 480i or 480p resolution. 480p does improve the picture a bit, but you will see more imperfections (like jaggies) in the graphics. Developers can use anti-aliasing to make this less noticeable, but sadly, Wii will continue to have this problem. But, it's not a huge issue. All of this is way confusing. Just know that your Wii will be OK.

I listened to that little part of me that said go check it out. While it may not be as much as LA, 1034 isn't something to be proud of.

I have an older version, and at the time it didn't have RE4 codes pre-installed. You can input them yourself by getting the codes off the main site, but it is a pain and it will take some time.
