No component cables at launch for Wii?

[MajSheppard]

Bad News for HDTV owners who are getting the Wii on day one.
The component cables for the Wii that were supposedly available online, are now going to be sold through a few stores, but not for a month!
EB/gamestop has the release date for the Nintendo Brand Component cable up and its not pretty.

Pre-Release
Ships 12/15/06

It does seem to be the cheapest of the ones coming out at 30 bucks. If you cannot wait that long, you can get a madcatz version for 30 bucks more on 12/01/06. Monster cable has no Wii cables listed as of yet.

The Nintendo Online store still acts like it never heard of Wii. It is looking like there is no way to set up your console other then the way provided on day one.

WTF Nintendo??? I want to play Zelda full fledged at the best visual quality I can get on my Widescreen HDTV. I can't do that if you don't let me get a damn component cable! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

[Netami]

Hopefully you'll be too busy playing a fun and exciting game to split hairs when it comes to visual quality on your huge ass television.

[Tricky Thumb]

Wow Nintendo, you managed to set that date on my birthday. Gee, thanks.

[Zeal]

lol fuckin' joke mode.

[torrefaction]

Hopefully you'll be too busy playing a fun and exciting game to split hairs when it comes to visual quality on your huge ass television.

Which will be pretty poor using composite. On a big TV, that could certainly detract from the experience.

[hallowedground0]

Anyone who says that its not about the visual quality and purely about gameplay is living in a fantasy world. I think it is less about splitting hairs and more about taking full advantage of all the game can offer, especially if you can run the game at optimal resolutions.

[midrael]

Argh having to wait an entire month to get the cables for hd. Indeed how will one possibly survive such a travesty.

Forgive the sarcasm. This just doesn't seem like THAT much of a crippling announcement. Yes, it'd be ideal if the component cables came out at the same time. As long as they ARE coming out at all, it's not really that bad.

[bean19]

I'm annoyed that the Wii doesn't ship with component cables as the default. Why not ship with component cables/AV cables like the 360 gets for it's default?

[The Great Gatsby]

ZOMG!! Lets all come into the thread and cry like babies cuz we'll have our eyes burned out without Zelda in 480p widescreen.

ZOMG the horrible grafix!!!

I swear, some people bitch and moan about everything. Be tough, man.

[Heretic Machine]

Doesn't S-Video offer 480p? Why would you even want component cables for a Wii?

[11thfinger]

I can only assume anyone not bitching about a lack of component cables still has an old TV only capable of composite or s-video. It does make a difference, sad that you wouldn't know, but maybe don't comment on threads you aren't knowledgable about.

It isn't just about the resolution, it's about the fact that some TVs see inputs differently, and it could cause someone with a nice widescreen TV to not be able to view wide because of composite or svideo limitations, and have to use the TV's built-in stretching to fill the screen. That's just not acceptable. They're penalizing early adopters - people that are even more likely to have a nicer, HD-ready TV.

This is a relief, as I can now delay buying a Wii for a month and focus on the shit-ton of awesome games coming out now. ;)

Perigon asked a question dude. No need to be condescending because someone doesn't have your l337 A/V knowledge.

[aileron]

Well damn.
I take it the cube component cables use a different connector than the wii?

[Zeal]

You won't get 480p or widescreen without component.

In order words, widescreen HDTVs (without component) will be forced to play Twilight Princess in a little 4:3 block (black bars) and standard, ugly ass 480i resolution.

Or you could just stretch it to a fake widescreen using your TV, although that would make it look even uglier.

EDIT: I'm just not gonna buy a Wii to play a single game (which is all everyone is doing anyway), I'd rather stick with the Gamecube version...if at all.

[11thfinger]

I wasn't referring to Perigon, only the couple of twits making a big deal about a valid complaint.

[VolantDave]

freeze your self until the compnent cables come out. it works SOUTH PARK DID IT!!!111 one111

[Lutheran]

EDIT: I'm just not gonna buy a Wii to play a single game (which is all everyone is doing anyway), I'd rather stick with the Gamecube version...if at all.

More stupidity from Zeal , not unexpected though..

[dirtbag]

Typical! This is just another example of how Sony doesn't care about -- what's that? It's Nintendo this time? Never mind, then. :cool:

[RUSKULL]

The way I see it is if they are going to release the Component cables late, then it's like they are delaying the console's full release. I was really hoping to get Zelda on launch, but with no component cables, it's like getting access to a beta build. Yeah, it will still be fun, but why not just play the complete version when it's ready, i.e. component cables are available?

Besides, what about Perrin Kaplan's interview? Was she wrong again...?

[ilian]

This is extremely lame. Wtf. Absolutely no way to get component for a month? ugh, looks like I wont be picking it up on launch day as planned =( bummer.

[divinechaos]

Didn't we all play RE4 without component cables? If composite is such a nightmare, then get a Svideo cable and hold for a month.

EDIT: And for those that are saying that because of these news they won't buy the Rev at launch: Were you really buying this system for its graphical power or to play innovative games?

[Heretic Machine]

Oh, one more thing... Widescreen isn't dependant on component cables. Widescreen TVs started coming out before HDTVs, and at this very moment I'm playing FFXII in widescreen without using any streatching features, through reagular old composite.

[divinechaos]

True. I've been playing Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong and LoZ:MM in wide-screen and its obvious that the N64 did not have component cables. Maybe the Rev titles will have a WS option.

[Zeal]

Hate to say this, but FFXII's widescreen feature is a 'fake' widescreen mode written as an option into the game. It actually stretches the 4:3 ratio to 16:9 like the option built into HDTVs.

I know that sounds like bullshit, but it's true.

The reason I know is because my TV lists the game at 4:3 aspect ratio even when stretched to 16:9. It's not a 'true' widescreen mode.

Now that being said, it still looks pretty good in that ratio.

[MajSheppard]

It isn't just about the resolution, it's about the fact that some TVs see inputs differently, and it could cause someone with a nice widescreen TV to not be able to view wide because of composite or svideo limitations, and have to use the TV's built-in stretching to fill the screen. That's just not acceptable. They're penalizing early adopters - people that are even more likely to have a nicer, HD-ready TV.

Exactly my problem. The early adopters are getting a bum deal, especally when early adopters are most likely to have an HDTV and the desire and knowlege to display games at their zenith.

It is just an inconvinence to those who will have to crawl behind a TV set up to hook up a standard hook up, only to do it again in a month in order to get the most out of the Very expensive TV/game system they purchased.

Zelda which is supposedly the best visual experience out of the Wii games is designed to take advantage of the Component cables, will most likely be finshed by me long before the Cables are on sale.

Uncool Nintendo.

Uhhh, no I played RE4 with component cables...

Plus I will definately get a Wii day one.

[mkelehan]

I sooner believe this to be Gamestop's error than Nintendo's. And, if I can't get them day one, I'll get the off-brand, and return them when Nintendo's hit.

I played RE4 with component cables on the gamecube.
It looks a lot sharper than even the s-video cable, which in terms is sharper than the composite.
I just couldn't go back to using the default composite cable after gotten used to the clarity that the component cable offers.

[bapenguin]

You won't get 480p or widescreen without component.

Or you could just stretch it to a fake widescreen using your TV, although that would make it look even uglier.


Not true. In fact if you set the 360 to an HD resolution then hit the little switch on the cable to standard TV the Componsite output sends out a squished signal. So when your TV stretches it actually is widescreen. Looks great too on non-HD widescreen TVs.

Are we just going off some sites "release dates" (we all know how accurate those are :rolleyes: ) or has this news been confirmed by Nintendo?

According to last weeks Game Informer (http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200611/N06.1103.1640.33657.htm?Page=2) interview with Perrin Kaplan this isn't the case...

GI: Will component cables be available on day one?

Kaplan: Yes, at retail and online. Best Buy, GameStop, Circuit City, etc… and Nintendo.com.

Matt at IGN (http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/p1) has already got his.

Also, Our release date for the Wii is 08/12/06 and play.com (http://play.com/Games/Wii/4-/3256660/Official_Nintendo_Component_Video_Cable/Product.html)
is releasing official Nintendo component cables the same day for us...

[Zeal]

I'm not following what you mean here. I was talking about playing Zelda on Wii without using component cables.

You shouldn't be able to get the 480p/16:9.

Are you saying you can get the widescreen without the 480p or what.

[bapenguin]

Are you saying you can get the widescreen without the 480p or what.

Yes. 480i widescreen. Still doesn't look that great, but at least it's not stretched. At least on the 360 this is an option.

[ilian]

If you can do 480p widescreen you can do 480i widescreen. Both just use a squished signal that you stretch.

[MajSheppard]

I sooner believe this to be Gamestop's error than Nintendo's. And, if I can't get them day one, I'll get the off-brand, and return them when Nintendo's hit.

The only off brand I can find is Madcatz, at twice the price and that still won't be out until the first of December....

[MrE]

Hell, I'll just be happy picking one of these up on release day. After that I can worry about component cables and what not.

Thank you, I was gonna post that, but you beat me to it.

More proof of how desperate we are to find reason to shit on Nintendo (Those of us who want to do more than a laughable prediction based in fantasy land and not real business economics). We jump on a release date for GAMESTOP, infamous for fucking up dates, and declare Nintendo is screwing up big time.

Fuck you, Nintendo. Fuck up. Now. We're desperate.

[GunnyMo]

Why is anyone surprised by this? The success of the Wii is banked on it's control scheme not it's outdated graphics. Offering slightly updated visuals to go with a radical control scheme isn't "next gen"; it's a patch. We've all known this for a while now so we shouldn't be acting surprised with no component cables at launch.

Bucking the trend for innovative controls is one thing. Ignoring consumer and technology trends is another. Anyone notice what the majority of the TVs you see sold now have? Component hook ups for HD. Unless you are shopping the bargain bin even CRT TVs have HD capabilities these days. Nintendo's habit of only looking six months ahead instead of several years is going to hurt it yet again.

My point: Nintendo knows their systems are on the low end of the graphics spectrum and even when they are not they treat them as such. They had a system with the power to out perform the PS2 last round and screwed the pooch with it. Removed the digital out plug on the GC? D'oh! Scare away third parties with proprietary media (among other things)? D'oh. No component cables at launch of the Wii? D'oh. It's the little things consumers remember that affect your sales.

Don't cry about lack of component. It's just par for the course with Nintendo.

I am going by the fact that no one will give me any assurance I can get a cable on day one.

If you look at my history you will see I am Nintendo loyal elite. This isn't a shot down, its a whats going on. I am surprised because Nintendo rarely screws over their customers in such a manner. They usually think years ahead, and this time it looks like they are scrambling.

As for the article on IGN, this is still not a singing endorcement as none of the stores listed, NINTENDO INCLUDED, has any idea when they will get the cables. I personally called Gamestop, EB, Nintendo, and Best Buy. EB is the first to get the actual sku in their system, and they have it listed to go on sale a month after the system.

Nintendo said things were "still being finalized, and to check back in a week when the system is released." Ordering something online from them any time after Tuesday will make it unlikely that I will get a cable on day one.

As for Best Buy, all they can offer up is that they will sell Wii, Wii games, and Wii Accessories. Plus it will be first come first serve.

The lack of information and organization to this critical accessory adds to a short list of minor inconviences that may occur with the Wii. Not a damning of the system or the company by any means. However disapointing never the less.

[thFOOL]

Dear god, this statement may as well be the dictionary definition of "whiny little bitch."

[31 Flavas]

EB/gamestop has the release date for the Nintendo Brand Component cable up and its not pretty.

Pre-Release
Ships 12/15/06Wait, wait, wait.... So were going off of what the EB website says, and not what an interview/news/press-release/website from Nintendo says?

WTF Nintendo??? I want to play Zelda full fledged at the best visual quality I can get on my Widescreen HDTV. I can't do that if you don't let me get a damn component cable! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!Take a chill pill man, take several for that matter. You'll survive. If for some reason this is actually true, just import... or play another game. For god sake... My friend has a 60" widescreen HDTV, and composite is perfectly fine on it, from the gamecube, the PS2, and xbox.

[CapnBob]

Wait, wait, wait.... So were going off of what the EB website says, and not what an interview/news/press-release/website from Nintendo says?

The EB website is never wrong. NEVER.

[Hemalin]

The EB website is never wrong. NEVER.
But has it been confirmed by 7-Eleven yet?

[Zeal]

I don't really consider this a big deal at all, considering the Wii was never meant to be an HD system.

The fact that PS3 doesn't come with component cables is much more laughable.

Actually, it's pathetic.

[31 Flavas]

7-11 reference FTW! Infact, that 7-Eleven promotion called it. $250, spot on.

So, hence forth, I'm not believing anything till I see it on the side of a 7-Eleven squishie cup.

[blackzc]

Are there going to be 3rd party cables available? This is horseshit, do you know what 480i looks like on a LCD? Stupid fucking nintendo, SHIP THE CABLES!!!!!!!!GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Norse]

I need to bring out my old 28" 4:3 CRT if I want to enjoy the Wii. Anything less than 720p looks crap on my 32" LCD HDTV. I guess I'm a graphics whore. The visuals are a bit important to me, no matter how good the actual game is....

[Zeal]

7-11 reference FTW! Infact, that 7-Eleven promotion called it. $250, spot on.

[Achilles]

Hate to say this, but FFXII's widescreen feature is a 'fake' widescreen mode written as an option into the game. It actually stretches the 4:3 ratio to 16:9 like the option built into HDTVs.

I know that sounds like bullshit, but it's true.

The reason I know is because my TV lists the game at 4:3 aspect ratio even when stretched to 16:9. It's not a 'true' widescreen mode.

Now that being said, it still looks pretty good in that ratio.Yep, I've got to set the TV to 'wide' mode to force the correct aspect ratio, and the picture ends up having some weird quirks. Currently I just play it PiP while watching TV at the same time.

Not only that but the graphics were never meant to be put on a full 60" screen; it gave me a headache after playing it for about 5 hours and I had to put it down, which is unusual for me and Final Fantasy games.

Concerning the anouncement of the component cables. Well at this point after seeing the Wii in action at the store kiosk, videos of Zelda, and other places, I'm not sure it would greatly benefit from them.

[Sophism]

[bapenguin]

What did this post even mean.

A few months back before Nintendo announced the price there was a 7-11 promotion to give away some Wii's. In the promotion rules it stated that the value of the Wii was $250. Everyone was up in arms because there's "no way" it would be 250. And that the whole 7-11 thing was crap. Well wouldn't you know it...7-11 was right.

[ilian]

awesome Bionic!!!

[f1sh3r]

You won't get 480p or widescreen without component.

In order words, widescreen HDTVs (without component) will be forced to play Twilight Princess in a little 4:3 block (black bars) and standard, ugly ass 480i resolution.

Or you could just stretch it to a fake widescreen using your TV, although that would make it look even uglier.

EDIT: I'm just not gonna buy a Wii to play a single game (which is all everyone is doing anyway), I'd rather stick with the Gamecube version...if at all.

i don't care about black bars as much as i care about burn-in on my plasma from the black bars.

[OrangePulp]

All you people complaining, you realize that you're not exactly Nintendo's target audience, right? And it's only a month, for chrissakes. And it looks like you'll be able to pick up some third party cables, anyways. Damn.

[ilian]

at best buy, they are allready selling the wii component cables =)

[Headcase]

WTF Nintendo??? I want to play Zelda full fledged at the best visual quality I can get on my Widescreen HDTV. I can't do that if you don't let me get a damn component cable! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

Don't buy one. I'm not pre-ordering and you can help make it easier for me to pick one up.

[blackzc]

Is that a fact? Imma check tomorrow and if my BB has some im gonna buy.

I best be their target audience or they are in trouble. I have had every Nintendo System ever made in my life. Abandoning their base would be a very bad idea.
