Console Stand & Storage - Nintendo Licensed (Wii)
Console Stand & Storage - Nintendo Licensed (Wii)
Customer Review: Great product, great price!
Having recently changed the position of my wii I noticed it looked a bit barron, having no support, which is also a worry for ventilation.
I noticed this item flicking through Amazon, and thought for ?10 quid why not?
Glad I did, not only does it make the console look very smart, the compartment allows me to have a little more room by sticking away a controller and nunchuck.
The slot for the sensor is a bit pointless to be honest, but apart from that, very happy with the item.
Customer Review: Verty stylish console stand - Wii like very much!
Just received my Wii horizontal console stand this afternoon and must say that i’m extremely impressed with the unit.
The stand is particulary usefull to me as although the Wii does already come with its own console stand when purchased, this can only be used for placing the unit in its vertical position. While this is fine if you have a room with plenty of shelf space, it does tend to pose a slight problem if you fancy using it somewhere where you don’t have as much shelf space such as a video cabinet. Personally I’m not overly keen on just lying the console on its side due to ventilation problems ect.
Also another problem I have had since purchasing my Wii is that with all the Wii Remotes and Nunchuck controllers you need for multiplayer games when friends come round is storage space. I’m not particulary keen on just leaving controllers lying around the place.
The Wii vertical stand has been designed to solve these two problems in one package. The stand is designed with a base plate which you slot your Wii onto and a handy tidy box compartment at the side in which you can place a Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Not only does this small side compartment help to save a bit of room and mess on your tops, but also both the box and lid have been carefully designed and constructed so they match the size and contours of your Wii console which means that when you put it all together both the console and stand lay perfect flush together.
For me though what really makes the stand look totally cool is the official Wii logo on the front of the tidy compartment box. The stand is officially licensed by Nintendo and is manufactured in the same quality white plastic finnish as the Wii.
I cannot recommend this stand enough, so if your looking for something to solve both storage problems and an alternative to the vertical stand available this should be perfect

Official Nintendo Wii RGB SCART Cable (Wii) RGB video cable for use with the Nintendo Wii console.
Customer Review: If you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you’ll like
I bought this cable more out of curiosity than anything else, and didn’t really know what to expect as there seem to be lots of contradicting reports of what RGB scart does for you. Here’s my attempt to describe its effects having tried out most of my games on it-
Zelda: twilight princess - This game has lots of very small or detailed text, and the cable improved the sharpness of the details.
Mario 64 - surprisingly, this game was enormously improved from the composite cables, making text more readable and graphics more vibrant and well-defined, making the whole game seem fresher.
Sonic 2 - the game feels more vital somehow- presumably because the lines in the background are more defined so you get a greater sense of it whizzing by.
Zelda: A link to the past - The text across the top of the screen (for arrows, bombs, rupees etc) is more readable.
Super Mario Sunshine - Oddly enough considering mario 64, i saw no discernible difference at all with this game.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Detailed textures were sharper, and given that this game makes extensive use of pretty textures it makes the game look better. Note: this game runs in 480i only, and 480i seemed to look a lot nicer on my TV through the rgb cable than through composite, though i suspect that depends more on the TV.
Overall, the edges of text and buttons, boxes etc. are better defined, and the edges of 3D objects are better defined. Fine details in textures which would be lost in the blurring of a composite signal are preserved by the rgb cable.
If you can find one of these cables at a relatively reasonable price (I found one priced at ?16.99) then if you’re interested in improved graphics it’s probably worth it, as it does represent the optimum experience on a standard-definition TV.
Customer Review: As expected… Great
Does what you would expect a Scart RGB cable to do… Make everything look a lot better, sharper and clearer by a composite comparison. There is no screen ratio switching with this cable, which is usual for Nintendo RGB leads. My X-Box system uses this kind of switch with my 4:3 television and causes a, very squished, wide-screen picture.
One problem, however, is the fact that the Nintendo Wii keeps a signal on, in such cables, even though the machine is in standby/online mode. It keeps the TV focussed on the Wii, even though the console is not being used. This is actually a Wii problem though, rather than the cable.
If you are using a standard screen TV, it’s probably best you use this Nintendo RGB cable.
