Source: Neo GAF Big ass Wii thread.

No, they said, "The Wii comes with one standard, composite cable" when I asked if it includes component.

Hurray!! :/

 

[Tieno]

Eh, there was another thread that confirmed component/composite cables ala 360 premium...

 

[Chao]

Teh pwn.

 

[123rl]

Is that for every region then? I thought the US/JPN consoles had component but the European one didn't

 

[Polari]

Another shitty Nintendo decision. Colour me surprised.

 

[jj984jj]

No Wii at launch for me then. Current gen FTW! GoW2 come to me!

 

[GitarooMan]

Sucks, although I'm not surprised.

 

[krypt0nian]

What happened to the all in one cable?

Same place no region lock went? Or do these people just talk out of their asses?

 

[Wario64]

HAUAHUAUAHAAUA

 

[SantaC]

yes this was reported by eurogamer earlier today. I knew CNET was bullshitting.

What happened to the all in one cable?

It was never an all in one cable. It was an all in one output.

 

[drohne]

so it's effectively a $300 console for anyone with a decent tv? :lol

 

[Amir0x]

i told you, no reason for faith

What? Is there or is there not region lock?

 

[reaver18]

nintendo should have just released the wii controller for the gamecube instead of making a new system. wii = ripoff.

 

[SantaC]

What? Is there or is there not region lock?

NoA said no. NoE said yes.

 

[krypt0nian]

What? Is there or is there not region lock?

I have no idea anymore.

 

[citrus lump]

I wonder if component cables will even be readily available?

 

[Stitchy]

Conflicting information sucks. I was looking forward to getting component cables.

 

[DarienA]

What? Is there or is there not region lock?

Game Industry says during the UK announcement Nintendo said NOA was wrong the system is region locked... stay tuned...

 

[goldenpp72]

Is there a link to this source?

 

[GitarooMan]

They better ****ing be.

 

[Der Kommisar]

**** you, Nintendo

Spoiler

I STILL USE RF HAHA

 

[bachikarn]

If true, they better not be expensive

 

[jett]

ahuahuahuahuha

 

[sugarhigh4242]

it doesn't need component cables when it's got "new gameplay experiences"!

 

[Funky Papa]

Wii is the console that keeps on giving!

 

[plagiarize]

i told you, no reason for faith

you win this time Amir0x... but me and my optimisim will win one day.

 

[123rl]

I wonder if component cables will even be readily available?

I wonder if they'll even work on PAL consoles And even if they do work (like the GC cables worked on a PAL GC), they might be useless if 480p is removed from the PAL games

 

[SantaC]

They better ****ing be.

exactly man. I refuse to play Zelda on a ****ing composite cable.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Somebody should e-mail Reggie.

 

[soul creator]

I wonder if anyone ever followed up on the "it will be able to connect to a computer monitor" thing

 

[manngc]

Having the cable included would have saved a minimum of $30 on a Wii package. It sucks that it doesn't include it, but it really is no surprise coming from the SD only system.

 

[Joe Molotov]

OMG, HURRY, SOMEBODY POST THE GIF OF JEREMY SHOCKEY POINTING AT THE CAMERA AND THEN GOING "WTF?!"

 

[PantherLotus]

WELL THATS IT NO NEWGEN AM GET FOR ME

 

[shuri]

I wonder if they're gonna be sold only on nintendo.com again this time :lol :lol

 

[alr1ght]

+

'ing

no purchase until a price drop.

 

[Ristamar]

goddammit.

The region lock doesn't really matter to me one way or another, but I'd like to hear an official word.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Nintendo lied, fanboys cried

 

[Teleporter]

Man i remember ordering a component cable for my gamecube at Liksang.com!
God that took like 4 months to arrive but it was the only way to find it... Hope the Wii version will prove more friendly!

 

[Zombie James]

This has to be the most up and down week ever...

 

[PantherLotus]

quick lets all freak out and vow to never own another Nintendo system ever again

 

[hyp]

oh hell **** no. you gotta be kidding me.

 

[wasting]

wow lame, they better atleast sell them..

 

[Chris Remo]

Eh, there was another thread that confirmed component/composite cables ala 360 premium...

Link? I got this information directly, and it was only an hour ago.

wow lame, they better atleast sell them..

Well they're making their games in 480p so obviously they will.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

This is pretty much a giant non-issue. You can play widescreen with composite, so why would anyone care?

PS My GC Component cables better ****ing work.

 

[AlanHemberger]

Wow, the board quickly turned into those against the Wii and those with the Wii.

Link? I got this information directly, and it was only an hour ago.

It was some C/Net article where they even said to take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Mashing]

That sucks, but for me... it's not big deal. I have the Gamecube component cable which will work with the Wii. Unless I'm mistaken. The A/V port looks indentical anyway.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Things are very confusing right about now. I really wish the industry had some real investigative reporters. They're simple questions to ask, really. Pose a straight question, then get an answer. If an answer is vague or confusing, press them again. If they refuse, then call them on it publicly. More of that is needed in the news part of the industry.

 

[Chris Remo]

This is pretty much a giant non-issue. You can play widescreen with composite, so why would anyone care?

PS My GC Component cables better ****ing work.

They won't, because they don't have an audio output.

 

[PantherLotus]

This has to be the most up and down week ever...

I think somebody said it best when they said in the Apocalypse thread:

(paraphrased)

"On GAF, There is no such thing as an emotion between unadulterated excitement and bloodlusting anger"

or something like that. it applies here.
