Wii video cable composite and component

Wii video cable composite and component

The video cable being shipped with Wii will support both composite and component usage. This is good news for HDTV owners who have previously had a hard time getting their hands on component cables for the GameCube. It's always nice to save a bit of money too.

That's a smart move since I always wanted to play gamecube games on progressive scan but could never find the component cables.

Has this been confirmed? One of the video game pre-order sites said that the system came with a composite cable only.

No, it has not been confirmed. This news was just a rumor and now it's gone. The system comes with a composite cable only.

Most tvs have the smaller set of (3) cables. Good thing they're going to put that in.

Thank god. I wasn't looking forward to paying another $50 like I did for my Gamecube component cables. Now my Wii will run in 480p from day one.

Surprising is what Nintendo do best. This is not official yet, so let's all hope for the best.
