Official Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable (Wii)


Official Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable (Wii)
All the cables you’ll ever need for your Wii.

Customer Review: 480p of joy
This does make a real difference to graphics on your telly. The cable seems well constructed and works well.

Customer Review: Much better image quality but…
unfortunately it shows the limit of the graphics of the Wii.

In 480p, the image is much sharper and you get less flickering, but it also shows that the Wii is lacking a good anti-aliasing. I’m also not sure that a non-Nintendo cable would not works as good as this quite pricey cable.

Mario Party 8 (Wii)
Although they love their sequels as much as any company, Nintendo aren’t usually ones to go in for yearly updates. The Mario Party series, developed by Bomberman creators Hudson, is their only example of the phenomena. As such, the series was always guaranteed to make an early appearance on the Wii - and with good reason too since its mix of board game antics and multiplayer mini-games are perfectly suited to the motion control of the Wii remote. Whereas some of the previous sequels have seemed a little unnecessary, this one actually feels like a brand new game. There are six new boards and fourteen different playable characters from amongst the usual Mushroom Kingdom pantheon. There’s also a new power-up system replacing the “orbs” of previous games with “candy”. These allow characters to transform into different forms to avoid traps and nobble other players, ranging from an airplane, to a bowling ball and a vampire.

Of course what’s most anticipated about the game is the 70 plus different mini-games, as usual ordered into 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 2 and free-for-all games. These involve such activities as using the Wii remote to ride a water ski, tightrope walking, lassoing barrels, paddling a rowing boat with a partner, shooting on a target range and being the first to give your pet Chomp a wash. The games and presentation may all seem very cute but as ever the game is an expert at tempting you to cheat and conspire against your fellow players at every opportunity, making this the one family board game you won’t mind having an argument over.

Customer Review: if you have a nintendo wii, get this
Mario Party 8 is a brilliant game. The minigames are fun and it’s very rare that you get the same one twice while playing a party game! There is some bad points too though: BAD POINTS - > some of the boardgames take a little too long and you get bored > its the same as the previous mario party games on the gamecube, etc GOOD POINTS - > it’s not repetitive > you can laugh with friends or family at the stupid things the computer characters do > its a brilliant family game > you dont need a nunchuk for every controller if you are playing with more than one player There are loads more good points than bad, I can’t even begin to type them all up! Whatever people say about Mario Party being bad because its the same as the gamecube versions is stupid - why is it being the same a bad thing?????? I loved Mario Party on the gamecube, and it’s even better now its on the wii!!!!! If you have a Wii get this. If you dont, buy a Wii and then get this. Simple as :)
Customer Review: Good, but can get boring
This is a great game for family and friends but if you’re doing single player it is quite boring after about 10 minutes. All the fun is in playing multiplayer. Overall Graphics 7/10 single player 5/10 multiplayer 9/10 overall gameplay 8/10

Playing as OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, MEGATRON, BARRICADE and other characters, gamers experience the unstoppable power and massive scale of their favourite ROBOTS IN DISGUISE as they battle for Earth. Protect Or Destroy The Earth As the TRANSFORMERS robot war comes to Earth, gamers make the choice to join the AUTOBOTS in protecting our planet or to join the DECEPTICONS in destroying it. With dual campaigns, the fate of the world is in players’ hands. MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE Instantly change from a larger than life robot to a high-powered vehicle such as a sports car, fighter jet or helicopter. Seamless transformations leave enemies in the dust or enhance players’ combat strategy with a range of options in both vehicle and robot modes that take full advantage of the characters’ dual forms.

Variety of Combat For head-to-head battles, fans engage in melee combat that reflects each TRANSFORMERS robot’s character, scale, weight and power along with melee weapons and special moves unique to each character.

Wii Play (includes Wiimote controller) (Wii)
In a nutshell:
If you want as gentle an introduction as possible to the world of Wii then this user-friendly compilation of mini-games is just the thing for you, with a collection of games that are as easy to play as they are fun.

The lowdown:
It might be easy to use but the Wii is still a pretty unusual beast and a bit of a culture shock from the overly complex controllers of other consoles. This compilation of mini-games aims to ease you in gently with simple to play games that only need the Wii Remote to enjoy. These include games of table tennis, air hockey (or Laser Hockey as the game would have it) and an updated of NES classic Duck Hunt. There’s also Wii Billiards, a fishing sim and a number of games which use your customised Mii Channel character, including Wii Pose and the Where’s Wally style Find Mii. Since many of these games have a multiplayer mode the game also comes bundled with an extra Remote (but not a nunchuck), which usually sells for ?29.99 separately.

Most exciting moment:
Although all of the games are fun the best one is probably the Duck Hunt update (which also has you shooting UFOs and other non-avian enemies). Perhaps what’s most exciting about it is that it proves how good other light gun franchises, such as Virtua Cop and Time Crisis would be on the Wii.

Since you ask:
Many of the mini-games included with Wii Play, such as Duck Hunt and Table Tennis, were first seen as technical demos at the E3 trade conference in May 2006, when the Wii was first revealed in playable form.

The bottom line:
The beginner’s guide to Wii, with a handy extra controller. - HARRISON DENT

Customer Review: We Play, Wii Play
I don’t know what to say about this game apart from “It’s Fun” The nine minigames are really enjoyable and never ever get boring… Even on one player! But two player is definetly the best!!!!! 10 out of 10!!! Highly Recommended!!!!!!
Customer Review: simple but addictive
The games are really simply and designed just to get you used to the remote, but are addictive and it’s nice to see the characters you have created popping up on different games!

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.
