Board 8 > Questions about the Wii [Xenoblade]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Xenoblade is probably the first RPG I've truly been excited for in at least 5 years... so much so that I am actually considering getting a Wii just for the game.


1. How much can I get a Wii for used nowdays?
2. Does it connect via HDMI? For some reason I remember hearing that it didn't have that capability.
3. Is it worth it just for Xenoblade??

the best video wii can output is through component, unfortunately.

no clue on the other questions, but the wii does have SMG1 and 2, DKCR, RE4 Wii, Brawl, Muramasa, Metroid Prime 1-3, and a handful of other great games worth checking out.

Terrible. How the hell did they design a system this decade that doesn't support HD??

My TV is currently filled except for 1 HDMI port.

480p is the highest resolution you can get from it

Also yeah, SMG1 and 2, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime Trilogy are all really amazing games. New Kirby looks super amazing, too, but I haven't tried it yet. If you think 5-6 games is worth it to get a Wii, then do it, otherwise maybe get a Wii U and just play games with backwards compatibility.

I have OCD, so yes. Thanks for mocking my disability.

There are third-party adapters that force the wii to support HDMI. Mind you, it apparently doesn't do much for the graphics(though it supposedly makes a difference for the audio). http://reviews.cnet.com/game-accessories/neoya-wii2hdmi-converter-for/4505-10110_7-34139872.html

Never used it, no idea on how good it is. A friend has something similar(not sure if it's the same brand) and he says it's great but...I honestly don't know.

The bad: Adds 3 inches to the back of Wii console.

lol
