Does anyone know how to do this? My Wii barely gets played since I got a PS3. However, If I could play my Wii games in HD, I think I could get back into it. I don't know if my computer is powerful enough. It's relatively new. I can play UT3 and C&CRA3 at max settings with no problems. If anyone knows the emulator used here, please let me know. I want to try this.

Are you... serious? I can see the difference, but it's hardly that large. If that's all it takes to get back into playing your Wii, you're either the biggest graphics whore ever or have some serious prejudice against SD. No game could get me to play it or not play it based on that much of a difference in graphics.

Please do not ask for Wii emulators here.

actually, there is a difference but it can be ignored...

the point is that we know it's possible by future Wii versions or updates if possible, to play Wii games in HD

btw, does screen size matter, my Wii looks higher resolution on a small sd tv than it does on a very big hd tv let's say

*actually, if compared to composite cables, the difference is noticeable, compared to component, it is small

don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

uh huh... is there some super secret wii model that only you have, or are you just talking about upscaling? because upscaling isn't nearly as good as the real native thing.

Upscaling is good enough for me.

Isn't what's on display here just upscaling? I'm doubtful there are secret HD textures of Smash Bros just lying around somewhere so that leaves upscaling.

Seriously, if this is such a huge improvement you should just get a quailty video upscaler.

Most HD sets do terrible jobs with converting SD signals to their native resolutions, and quailty upscaling devices can make a huge difference. A lot of "HD" games aren't actually even in HD. CoD 4 on the 360 was actualy 600p and the 360 just upscales it to 720p.

emulators don't work like an upscaler, there are a lot of texture filtering options on a PC so you can pretty much filter the crap out of it and it'd look a lot sharper. besides SSBB is already a beautiful game to start with, SSBM at higher res doesn't look nearly as good.

Again (as in the other thread): Nintendo could release a fully-backwards compatible, Wii HD anytime they liked. It would internally render to higher resolution buffers, use upscaling, extra AA (etc) - and would look exactly like this.

It would be better than an upscaler, as it would render individual polygons in HD - meaning less flickers & jaggies, better texture filtering - and various other tricks. It could then simulate an upscaler, by upscaling the entire frame buffer to a larger one and applying various AA techniques to it.

Its a very, very obvious upgrade path, is technically (almost) trivial - and would be an easy cashcow for them.

...

The question is: would they bother, or would they turn it into more of a DSi type solution - where the caps of the CPU/GPU/RAM are actually better? (as well as doing all this?)

Regardless, there is zero need for anything like this for at least 1-2 years. Be basically a 'Wii premium' - and at least $100 more expensive (maybe more).
