Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The wii might have a problem

Well I normally dont start threads, but I recently bought a nice 42"1080p sony bravia HD TV. I hooked up my xbox 360 to see how it looked and I was amazed it was just godly, well when I hooked up my wii the menu looked a little streched out. When I started playing metroid prime 3 it looked how should I say not as good as on the Standard television.

I didnt think it would be a problem but, it actually is.  My eyes were literally hurting. PLaying Super mario galaxy looked extreemly pixalated. So I disconnected my wii and went back to my Xbox 360.

This might be a HUGE problem for nintendo in the next couple of years. As more people start to upgrade to HD.



 

 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

Around the Network

There should be some settings to sort that out.



HDTV has stretch mode and you're in that. Play around with your remote and see which mode is the best for specific situation.



change it to Widescreen



Wow, Im such an idiot. Thanks guys.

You haven't set it up correctly, and it depends on the tv. (usual excuses then) If you have read some other posters the Wii can look a lot better on an HDTV than SD (obviously not on par with 360/PS3 but better than SD)

This is partly the reason I do not plan on buying HD for a while, it is way too complex and often you will be advised to buy a certain type/brand for one thing, but advised against it for something else.



A: Hit the button on your remote that says "Size" "P. Size" "S. Size" and take it off of Wide Fit Zoom 1 2 etc and bring it to 16:9

B: If you don't have em get component cables

C: If you do have them then go into Wii's settings and change it to Widescreen 16:9 setting not 4:3. In the 360 you flip a switch to set it to component in Wii you gotta do it on the system itself.

32" HDTV not stretched at all(1080i so same resolution you have smaller screen) not pixelated.



lol. At least it was a totally honest mistake and not a trolling.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
