Milpool said:If you mean RGB cable then you'll have to buy one separately, the Wii comes equipped with just a composite cable. There is quite a difference, close to composite compared to component, it's especially noticeable on text.

Burger said:So when I pop Zelda in, am I going to be playing in PAL progressive (25fps) or am I going to be playing in NTSC progressive (30fps) ?
I find it hard to believe a PAL nintendo console will output a NTSC signal. I also can't believe we still don't have an answer for this.
If I have to play Zelda in some shit 50hz mode I'll just smash the frikken thing.

I have seen two Zelda adverts (both 30mins)
- horse riding
- fighting
Seen two Wii adverts
-15 min what could this be
-30 min wii can do anything
And just seen a Wii Sports avert
- 30min showing people of all ages playing the five games
get the official or wait for a cheaper third party cable. Once you gamed with rgb-scart, you will never go back.Mama Smurf said:Cool, thanks. Are SCART cables standard or will I have to get the official one? I suspect the latter, but I'm sure I could steal one off a DVD player or something if not.
By which he means; the picture will still look like crap. Get the official rgbXavien said:also just to clear up, the Wii will come with a Bundled Composite cable, but with a Composite to SCART converter box attached on the end as usual.
EDIT: like this:

I'm positive the games will be in Pal 60.Burger said:If I have to play Zelda in some shit 50hz mode I'll just smash the frikken thing.

Read somewhere you'll be able to set this in the system setup, so hopefully 3rd party lazyness won't mean unoptimised Pal games anymore.
Xavien said:...however you have to make sure you plug the RGB SCART cable into an RGB SCART socket on the TV. Some SCART sockets are S-video only so you wouldn't get any additional quality improvement, so remember, only buy the RGB SCART cable (official or third party) if you have an RGB SCART socket, otherwise its just a waste ...
thomaser said:Wooo! Just got off the phone with Nintendo, and my store will get more than double the amount of Wiis that we were originally going to get. First, they said 9. Then, they guaranteed 20. And now, we'll get 26 more the week after launch. So 46 systems before Christmas I'm in Norway, by the way. Also, we'll get one Zelda TP per Wii. 10 more systems the second week in January, and 15 more the week after that. MUCH better than before.
The only very slight downer is that Madden 07 is cancelled here, but that's kind of expected anyway.
Kaeru said:Fan vilken tur ni har då!
Im from Sweden, since were the biggest market in Scandinavia I hope Nintendo treats us the same way!!
thomaser said:We buy our things from Bergsala in Sweden, so there's a very good chance the situation is the same with you as well.
Kaeru said:I dont know, because every swedish internetstore has said on their sites that they get less the n expected, but I dont know if its just a marketing scam to sell more consoles??
I am, howewer, getting mine from ToysRus since my online retailer let me down.
Have talked to Bergsala before but theyre very hard to get any information from.
lol, i know that much from the irish comment, i meant where abouts in ireland?
It won't until a week before launch, at the earliest. They know the people who are going to preorder will have heard about it through other means, and I'm sure they've already allocated their first couple of shipments, so they've got no need to advertise until they've got products in stock (not just consoles, but games, accessories, etc). It's the same way they are with most console launches.
Burger said:Oh I'm in no doubt that I can play Zelda in PAL 60 interlaced if I like.
But I cannot see Nintendo putting a NTSC progressive spec on the Wii dashboard.
PAL progressive signals are not 60hz, they are 50hz. I hope to hell I'm wrong... Come on Nintendo, show us some foresight and prove me wrong.
As you may already be aware, the UK release date for Wii Component AV Cable has changed to 22-Dec-2006. Changes to release dates are relatively common in the videogames industry and are unfortunately beyond our control.
Dachande said:Oh Nintendo Europe, you just can't get through a launch without fúcking something up, can you?
Thanks for telling us, Game!
Preordered some Japanese cables from Play Asia instead with some express shipping. With luck they should get here in time for the launch.

Xrenity said:what is this.
They're saying "EDTV/HDTV ONLY". Other Wii boxes simply state "EDTV/HDTV Compatible", so the big, bold ONLY has SDTV owners feeling a little bit skittish, and a little more confused.
Thank you for the following order placed with GAME.

Don't worry, your order is still live and will be despatched prior to its release date via your chosen method of delivery.
JonathanEx said:I've asked my PR guy at Ubi about the EDTV/HDTV ONLY stuff (odd, it says its 50hz compatible) but no response yet. I'll get back to you on that.
Volt said:I actually played the PAL version of Red Steel for review purposes a couple of days ago. And although I played it on a HDTV, I obviously did not have the component cables to display in HD. Therefor, I can only come to the conclusion that Red Steel shouldn't be a problem on SDTVs. It just wouldn't make sense, and it would be a pretty damn bad marketing decision by Ubi if true. Then again, what I played wasn't the actual retail version, rather a near final build, so who knows? There's a Ubi party here in Belgium tomorrow. If I manage to make it there I'll be sure to bring it up to the PR guys (who probably don't even know about that bit on the box )
