DorkLink 08/02/17 1:02:08 PM #1:	I'm playing on an HDTV and it looks like dog shit. I'm not sure if that's because I'm using a Wii U, but it sure seems worse than I remember. It's been too long since I've used a CRT so I'm not sure if that's much better, but then aren't you missing out on the widescreen? Why would they make something widescreen but not HD? I don't think screens that would be optimal for that setup were ever very common... <cite>DorkLink posted [p:884053147] in What the h...

Early flat panels were really expensive and by the time they started becoming affordable, HD was becoming standard.

The reason is that Nintendo exist inside their own isolated bubble and never look outside. They operate on a completely different tech tree to the rest of the world (no really this explains every weird and silly decision Nintendo make) and in theirs, HDMI hadn't become commonplace yet. --- I am a certified Magic: The Gathering judge.
