Customer Reviews
Probably NOT worth it...
I bought this from amazon a week ago. Their processing and shipping time were incredible--5 stars to amazon for that! However, I would think twice before purchasing this product.
I went into it with my expectations managed--knowing the Wii is not HD and that this product would not make a huge difference. However, I did not expect to go backwards in video quality...and that is exactly what I've experienced. And, after searching nintendo's message boards, a lot of others have said the same thing. If I had it to do over again, I'd put the $15 toward a new game.
I will say that overall the color and some of the image quality is better. But, my experience is that with any game that uses Mii's (Wii Sports, Wii Music, Wii Fit...), with this video cable and the Wii configured for 480p, the Mii's look terrible--very jagged edges. I've messed with this a lot and if I set the Wii back to 480i, it looks normal.
But, what is the point if I have a HDTV, component video cables and I can't set the Wii to 480p? To me this defeats the whole purpose.
I called Nyko to see if they could clarify this and pretty much got nowhere. I really think these companies are putting out all these useless Wii
Wii Component Cable
Works well. Have not had any problems during the three months that I have had it. Produces slightly better quality images than the composite cables that came with the Wii.
Don't overspend on this item
I bought this cable after going to Best Buy in my neighborhood and seeing nothing under $40 for an HD cable. They wanted $64 for the MC version. Don't waste your money. This cable performs just as well for a much better price. If you are anything of a videophile you will notice the difference immediately. Highly recommended.
