I've only recently bought a Wii and thought it would be helpful to PAL gamers if GAF could come up with a list of games that support Progressive Scan. In other words, here we list games capable of being displayed at 480p on a PAL Wii console hooked up via Component.
It should be noted that having a game restricted to displaying in 480i or 576i should not necessarily deter you from buying said game. On a SDTV, i.e. most CRT television sets, you won't even notice the difference. This list is mainly for PAL gamers who have their Wii's hooked up to HDTV's. In these circumstances, PAL games will look marginally better being viewed at 480p as opposed to 480i or 576i.
Games that support 480p have an icon on the back of the box that reads "EDTV/HDTV compatible". A few early games offer 480p but do not display the icon, e.g. Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Any help with expanding and/or correcting these lists would be appreciated!
