  • This is deffiniatly worth it... I bought the one where there is 3 different outputs on the opposite side of the things that go into your TV. This can also solve the problem of hooking up your wii to your HD tv and having black and white when you turn it on.

  • my component cable that i bought at gamestop will not let me run it in 480p neither will i have color does anyone have any suggestions

  • Does it work with the tritton ax 180

  • is th differecne really great? also with a lowgraph game like mariokarts? grtz Thmas

  • Hi, I just bought a HDMI cable for my Wii and a new tv and when I tried to connect the HDMI cable the screen is black and white. The TV channels are just fine, just the Wii is in black and white. I'm going to get another cable just in case but what could it be?? also I tried to put the Wii settings to 480p and the screen look "double"... anyone can help me out???

  • Can't understand why Nintards and others like Sony don't supply these proper cables in the box as standard. I'm not paying almost 20 euros for some cable I could knock up myself by cannibalising the one supplied and splicing it with a regular RGB.

  • @Furbotz As of now hdtvs aren't what everyone has. HDTV's started getting popular around 2006 I believe. I didn't get an HDTV until mid-2011. So HDTV's haven't become the standard household electronic yet. Wait some more years, I would say 4-6 years until HDTV's become the standard television everyone has for HD cables to be included with the console and not as an add-on. That is just a theory I am proposing.

  • @bamazudi

    Yeah, I take your point. I didn't really think it through.

    However in the case of the PS3 I think my comment is still valid to a certain extent. Most people buy PS3 for its blu ray HD capabilities and HD gaming yet many are unaware that they need to buy another cable for it to work. Still, at least the PS3 has a standard output so the cable can be got anywhere.

  • @Furbotz Good luck with that. even if you connect ever little wire correctly, It still won't look as good as a actual factory make component cable.

  • so you can't buy these in stores?

  • is there a buzzing noise with the wii menu sound

  • @Asingh1645 yeah mine too...did you figure it out yet?

  • anyone know of a cable that outputs composite AND component? i could explain why but that would take a bit...

  • These cables arnt worth it they make little to no chane in th resolution the only differnce I saw is that it makes the watter in the supermario sunshine level of ssbb look worse like blue pixels

  • @metroidcypher: interlace mode has interference and the white/red pixels bob together. with a modern set these problems are really made obvious when you don't have RGB color separation.

    this system plays much better on an old CRT tv anyway. The image is much crisper and doesn't become muddy from lcd/plasma upscaling due to native resolutions.

  • @guert2000 The best for xbox is 720p and the ps3 is 1080p

  • would I have to order this online or can you buy something like this at Best Buy?

  • someone at future shop said that this thing is crap and does nothing

    dont buy it

  • @FIGHTFANNERD3 Actually, if you have a large LCD TV, the difference between it being in 480i and 480p is fairly obvious. If you have a small crummy TV you wouldnt notice much. Its much sharper and cleaner text and line wise.

  • @FIGHTFANNERD3 It does a REAL LOT, but it's overpriced as fuck so it's not worth it, better just save your money for when Nintendo finally creates a console with nice graphics and a resolution that doesn't give you visual aids.

  • I recommend you go with the best cables possible for older consoles. S-video for Gamecube (unless you don't mind spending $80 for component.. no third parties exist). S-video for N64. S-video for SNES (the model 2s and the SNES Jr ones don't support s-video unless you mod it). Component for PS2. VGA box for Dreamcast that does s-video and VGA.

    Feels good man

  • i have a 55inch led tv and with the av cable the wii came with does not look good will this make this look like my xbox360 with hdmi?

  • @ElectronicWorld101 I don't think so. the best for wii is 480p and for xbox360 is 1080p.

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks mate. Hope Skyward Sword looks awesome with this component cable. Getting both tomorrow! :)

  • SKYWARD SWORD is KILLER dude i have it for my Wii and it's a good game

  • im having component on my wii now and a 32inches 1080p HDTV samsung..i can problem..why some games have black bars on the sides?games like re4...please reply!

  • @Ninchiboy Wii games support 4:3 resolution, and a 1080p Resolution is 16:9, also known as "Wide Screen"

    There should be an option to stretch it out.

  • @Ninchiboy go to thw wii settings and put it to 16:9(widescreen)

  • @vic485 i already did...some games like zelda are fullscreen but some are not like RE4 and Monster Hunter tri...whats the problem?

  • @Ninchiboy is it gamecube? some gamecube games do that on 16:4 480p

  • @Ninchiboy ahh, I found out that only SOME games do not support widescreen, so its ok if it does that.

  • One thing I've found, is that when you switch from an SD TV to an HD TV, in terms of FPS's pointing is considerably different. I think it has something to do with the pixels. So I'm hoping this will help with my aiming cause I think some Pixels are stretched or something cause every time I'm into some action in the middle of the Screen my aiming gets all messed up. Sure I can switch my Screen size from Wide to SD, but I got a freakin HD TV I want it wide.

  • I Just Got The Composite :D

  • i got this cable but it wont let me play VC games (i only get sound) :(

  • Make sure you also put Screen burn- in reduction on too have a better quality also depending on your tv change the widescreen settings also if you have a HD TV that has an HD fliter use it depending on your TV you can get it to almost 1080p . When I play on my Wii depending on the games its always either 720p or 1080p , my question is how can I make it so its always 1080p

  • it looks to me that it just has better colors... but still is nice

  • If you have a Wii you MUST play with Component Cable. I bought one today (17€), not the original Nintendo one, but it worked perfectly.

    Just don't buy a very cheap one. I have an HD Ready tv and it looks awesome.

  • you actually know that you can use a hdmi cable?

  • @Thoompie7 There is an HDMI hookup? Are you sure about that?

  • is it weird that I don't see any difference? Which one is the cable one? The left or the right?

  • Comment removed

  • i have a LCD tv n it does me ok without the cables

  • Im getting a 720p hdtv for wii and ps3 but it only has component video inputs does that mean ill ahve no sound or what? is there a way i can fix it? like can i sound the left/right audio cables into the composite audio and whatever the hell the red input is? :P cuz i cannot play games without sound lol

  • @killerzwad80 You'll still have sound...

  • @gumballtech how do i have sound if if theres no l/r audio inputs?

  • @killerzwad80 Sounds like you have a really weird TV.

  • Does the brand really matter? Heard the official ones give better picture then the others. But got a feeling its bull

  • @KevinArcade Doesn't matter. A cable is a cable IMO.

  • @KevinArcade it is bull

  • @KevinArcade

    You're right there. There's a chance some cheap cables are a bit shittier quality but it really shouldn't make much difference. It's definitely not worth paying Nintendo price for one!

  • I seem to have a problem: there are 5 (red x2(sound), white (video?), green(?), blue (colour)) For some reason, when I plug in the blue cable, it goes from grey-scale to greeny tinty thingy. I don't know if this is a problem with me or the cable... XD HELP ME!!!

  • @BainScalibar Plug them all in...

  • wow, then you have upscaled to HD picture, but all the games are not made for that...

    wii might be funny with some people, but to be fair you muzst say NINTENDO graphix sucks!

  • @muh1h1 I wouldn't say that they suck, they just aren't up-to-date, but people already know that. 

  • @muh1h1 It'll be changed with the upcoming 1080p capable Wii U.

  • My wii doesn't say 480p in settings, it says standard and HD so what cable should I get?

  • @techdeckshere The component cable...

  • So? With Wii Component Cables It Looks Better?

  • Hey I have a question, I have the EXACT same component cables as you. I ordered them at Amazon and they arrived a few days ago. I have a SONY TV with the inputs for the component cables. As soon as I connected it and changed the resolution to 480p on the Wii menu, the screen split in two and started to go crazy. Right now i'm using the component cables but with 480i resolution and everythings normal. Could someone help me out? Much appreciated!

  • @PiNoIbOi95 Do you have another TV/monitor to test with? Need to narrow down whether or not it's the cable, your TV, or your Wii.

  • @gumballtech Yes I do, I have a plasma flat screen SAMSUNG TV. But unfortunately my parents won't let me mess around with that TV because its super expensive, either than that thats it. The cables look fine to me, but I noticed that in your video, you said that your TV should automatically pick up the resolution and signal the change or something? And I don't think there is anything wrong with my console, probably my TV can't run 480p?

  • @PiNoIbOi95 I honestly don't know. Trying it with different displays would be the first thing I'd do. It's not like plugging in a game console is going to give the TV a virus or something.

  • @PiNoIbOi95 if your TV has 720p, 1080p or any type of "new" resolution the TV should show you the video. I think you need a new Wii or a new cable. Are some other Players etc. on your screen? Test the cable. Put it in your DVDplayer for example.

  • I have the component cable, and there is a huge difference when viewing on a hdtv. The reason why 480i looks so bad on an hdtv is because hdtvs have progressive screens, which are meant for displaying progressive content. So it will look blurry, and laggy. But 480i on an sdtv would look ok, since they have interlaced screens.

  • why didn't nintendo just fuckin' made the wii HD?!

  • LOL no differace

  • If they created that kind of shit why didn't just put it in the console for FREE?!

  • 1:14 that's what she said. hahahaha.

  • HACKER!!

  • Shame you, pirate.

  • I didn't see a difference and i changed the resolution but still nothing can you help.

  • Wait, won't this work on the SNES too? :D

  • i had standard tv 1080i then hdtv or edtv 480p

  • can u make a tutorial on how to get usb loader GX?

  • CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELLL ME DOES A COMPONENT WII WORK ON A SDTV ??

    PLZ ILL SUB YOU

  • No Component video cables do not work on a SDTV sorry bud  only hdt's that supports 480 p, 1080, and 1080 P Kolerik

  • @DarkStormVEVO if it has the green and blue plugs on the back or side

  • No.

  • @DarkStormVEVO Yes it does, now plz sub me

  • @DarkStormVEVO if u have the components in the back of ur tv it should but i heard the wii looks good on a standard tv and u only really need the components on an hd tv. I bought the components off amazon today for like 5 bucks so i've yet to try them on my hdtv but without them the graphics dont look to good

  • @DarkStormVEVO

    No. Component cables are designed for HDTV, SDTV don't have the proper outputs on the back to even fit the Component cable.

  • @DarkStormVEVO look at the back of your tv, if there is an input that is component (red+blue+green+red/white audio) then you can plug anything that is component into it, like a wii, dvd player, anything. If it doesnt then no. Hope this helps.

  • @DarkStormVEVO no..if your TV is just an SD it wont support component..

  • @DarkStormVit depends it depends if your tv has the 5 input cable slots , higher end standerd tvs have them ,like mine but if put it on 480p the screen goes crazy...so it really depends on your tv.

  • @DarkStormVEVO nope, not enough plugs..

  • @DarkStormVEVO

    Yeah. It did on mine.

  • @DarkStormVEVO some sdtv has component. some dont. check your tv

  • Thanks for this video! I bought the component cables for the Wii, it looks much brighter than the other one which is much better ^_^

  • I got it for 5 bucks at amazon.

  • nice vid these shoudl come in the mail for me today! i ordered them cuz i play black ops on the wii....

  • @Harrysun5134 heh me too:D cables come today. bought them for 15 € +shipping=20 € =(

    hey contact me.. will play BO sometimes :P the game is really awsome :D

  • Look for every generation that come in there is an advancement in technology so every generation is going to seem "spoiled" because they have more stuff than you had in your day. These same "spoiled" 12 year olds are going to be looking on the next generation saying the same thing.

  • @mazdaspeedproduction yeah, I agree with you.

  • gumballtech you wrote near HD-like? xD You must be blind if you say near HD-like xD Low quality console...so you can't ma the quality better ;) low is still low ;)

  • if gamestop has it.. i'm sure they would... u could use your edge card and get it bout the same price as the other stores (that sell em CHEAPER)

  • @KingCorny93 I actually bought a PS3 on Saturday. Very disappointed. Taking it back tomorrow. I'll just stick with PC gaming.

  • @gumballtech you actualy do not know how to use it ;) Just kidding. That is very stupid. XBox 360 and PS3 have HDMI. But the Wii... Just low quality AV. They should make a Wii with 720p, HDMI.

  • @gumballtech good man.

  • @gumballtech That's very stupid of you.

  • @gumballtech playing with a keyboard and mouse.... well.... I think masturbation is much more entertaining. Play with your dick.

  • @gumballtech PS3 is amazing piece of equipment, but its not going to be for everyone. Got my PS3 about a month ago, gonna get the PS Move soon and later gonna go a head and buy a Wii, just because i really want to play some Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros.

  • @gumballtech no nintendo system supports 1080p their only thing thats closest is 3D Without Glasses

  • @HumzaAhmed155 We know this already.

  • @gumballtech I noticed you have that homebrew thing everybody's talking about, do you mind helping me out with it ? is it avaible for free somewhere around the interwebs ?

  • @Wappertjee It's not as easy as it sounds. You can't just download something, run it, and it expect it to run homebrew apps and crap. Use Google.

  • @gumballtech Thanks for answering, allthough i've already looked it up on Google. All it said was to buy the software for 30 bucks or something and to run it on the wii via a SD card. How did you do it if you don't mind telling ?

  • @Wappertjee Sorry, I can't help you with it. It's something you have to figure out on your own. There are lots of websites and help already available to you.

  • @KingCorny93 only problem is playstation 3 has no smash brothers, so no..

  • @sonicsega555 one stupid shit game :D Go, buy some real beat and kill games ;)

  • @KingCorny93 wow just for saying that i know your just some 12 year old kid who cusses on cod all day gtfo.

  • @sonicsega555 17 ;) And you must be a 12 year old blind kid ;) I mean the Wii has just a AV output so you can't have hd, hd ready or any other hd. You need DVI or HDMI to have HD. Wii has SHQ with the compnent cable. So don't say HD-like ;)

  • @KingCorny93 Wow did i ever say anything about the fucking graphics? All i said was that the ps3 had no smash brothers, i could give a flying fuck if it was in hd or not, and the fact that you said it's a shit game means you obviously don't know what a good game is, you come from a generation of spoiled 12 year old fucks who only care about graphics. go pick up a super nintendo play some super mario world and quit being fucking retarded.

  • @sonicsega555 hey, don't be mad. I am a kid of the Donkey Kong and Super Mario generation. This games are cool, I agree with you, but it's always the same bullshit. Always an Italian with red clothes trying to resque a bitch named Peach. And Donkey Kong is just run and smash some wooden boxes etc. So, I think Nintendo is old, just new technics but the main titels are the same.

  • @KingCorny93 but why try to fix what's not broken, old? if it wasn't for nintendo the video game market would have crashed a long time ago and none of these consoles would have existed.

  • @sonicsega555 it's out of fashion I think. Sure. Some "old" people going to buy this. I'm happy with my PS3. I have a big choise of real HD games. And not always the same. If I want to play Mario or DK I'll take my SNES out of the Box and play the real Mario etc ;) So. The old Nintendo is the best. But we have to go with time, at this point a PS3 is the right choise.

  • @KingCorny93 I have all consoles and am currently building a new PC and I love many of the Wii game, I like the PS3 but hate hate all the controllers for it Ive tried them all they all are small and or uncomfortable thats why i love the xbox it has a great controller and practically the same library as PS3

  • @KingCorny93 you're so stupid

  • @eklipsegirl you too.

  • @KingCorny93 just got a PS3 like a month ago, and it is awsome!!! Got MC:Los Angeles, Resistance 2, and Assasins Creed, and it is awsome!!! Got the HDMI cable and honestly the Wii can't compare! But the Wii is still an amazing piece of equipment. I love my PS3 but thinking about getting a Wii very soon!

  • @fidelamaya26 I'm gonnna buy Xbox 360 Kinect. Real moving :D And not just a cheap controller :D PS3 and 360b are the top of time (today) Wii is for poor people ;D

  • @KingCorny93 lol so naive, you really don't know much do you, im a PS3 fan all the way but respect must be given where its due, PS3 and 360 are only following in Nintendo's Footsteps, and you know they are. Nintendo did motion controls first. Nintendo is the first to do 3D on a Handheld, ive seen the new PSP Phone and NGP and they're awsome machines but still lack 3D effect which i know sony will incorporate in the NGP 2.

  • @fidelamaya26 naive? No. yeah, Nintendo had first motion controller. But the PS-Move is better. More sensetive. My little brother has a Wii. Damn right, it's a nice console. But it's nothing against Xbox And Playstation. Real HD gaming, watching Blu Ray (the Wii can't play DVD's) PS3 is a highend entertainmentsystem. PS3 300€, Wii 250€. So I think you got more for your money, buy the PS3.

  • @KingCorny93 Hey im not bringing down the PS3, just bought one a month ago, and chose it over the Wii because like you said, it is more for the money i paid. Honestly im not into this whole HD thing, i don't care how good the graphics in a game are, because if does not have a good story to it than its going to be bad game, sorry but its not all about graphics

  • @fidelamaya26 yeah, true. But Nintendo can't make some epic games like Assasins Creed, Resident Evil 5, etc. Nintendo is out of time. Alway Mario and DK. Hey, I have a Super Nintendo. I don't need new DK and Mario. This IS classic. The "new" games of Mario and DK are bullshit. Nothing new. Just some old games taken out of a shelf

  • @KingCorny93 maybe true but if you remember Resident Evil 5 came out for the Wii

  • @fidelamaya26 yeah. 480p ;D. PS3 720p :D That's stupid. Wii is perfect for a quick game. But for more you have to use the PS3. Watching hidef movies, playing hidef games. But don't tell them HD-LIKE. You get DVD quality.

  • @KingCorny93 i like i said thats the reason why i got the PS3. it has way more to offer, now im looking into getting the PS3 soundbar! Quick question, u just finished Assasins Creed, i want to get the other two games but would really like to know some game recommendations, i don't have the PS Move yet so any regular games that you would recomend like, Assasins Creed and MGS4

  • @KingCorny93 if you are talking about fast gameplay, yes, wii is faster, i played some games in ps3 and it got slow in some moments, wii not, not im not an fanboy, i LOVE both consoles, i just hate the 360

  • @KingCorny93 im sorry i was thinking about Resident Evil 4 coming out on Gamecube, my bad

  • @fidelamaya26 re 4 did come out on wii

  • @KingCorny93 GOML YOU JUST GOT WRECKED AND MERKED GOMLGOMLGOMLGOMLGOMGOML.

  • @KingCorny93 Dude? Can't you notice, nintendo makes the best thing a console can do while other companies(Sony & Microsoft) are just copying their ideas by just improving it so that one notices it?!

  • @KingCorny93 ps3 has good games and nice hd! but dont hate the nintendo wii lets look do you think 6 year old kids haw fun playing halo and COD7 and crysis 2 and god of war 3? wii has the clasicc games like super mario ,zelda,metroid theyr all good. but of corse cod 7 and cryses and hyper ultra hd playstation is good to but sometimes its just good to just play the other ones that haw more focus on other stuff then hd and awsome online. and i play ps3 but i like the wii 2!

  • @gameboy699 I don't think that a 6 years old boy playinng halo, god of war, resident evil 5..etc. A 6 year ol,d boy watches movies like Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles. the Wii is a simple gamingconsole. PLaystation 3 is all in one, REAL HD gaming, music centre, movieplayer (Blu Ray and DVD) it's almost a full pc. Nintendo is just for poor people.

  • @KingCorny93 i was not talking about hd or movies i was talking about the games! and the games on the wii fits more for kids.... i own a ps3 and wii...

  • @gameboy699 how many games do you have for ps3? 3 games? Little Big Planet is for kids, Toy Story 3 is for kids, Playstation Move has a lot for the whole family..the list is long ^^. Wii is the console for poor idiots. Mario Galaxy is stupid, DK Country Returns is a cheap remake...nothing new ^^

  • @KingCorny93 my brother owns a xbox 360 and he has call of duty 7 and halo 3 and odst and reach and i play em and i gott ps3 my self and i own the populear titles (uncharted 2, killzone 2, ratchet and clank even no its for kids. i like assassins creed brotherhood to) but at the same time i enjoy zelda and mario kart is it something wrong with that?

  • @gameboy699 for Zelda and this stuff I have my good old SNES. Classic. Mario is still Mario. Tetris, Good old football :D Better as every FIFA game ever :) I like watching HD movies and listen to music. But I don't want to spend my money for a DVD player, a Blu Ray player or a CD player. I bought the PS3 because all those players are in it. I can hear music and at the same time i can switch to movies or games. The Wii itself is okay, if you just want to play. But Wii has only 576p.

  • @KingCorny93 wrong it's got 480P too wich is better because 480P you will run average on 60fps while on 576P you will only run on 50fps

  • @KingCorny93 wrong

  • @KingCorny93 yes but we are not rich like you eheh

  • @armiamolla than you have to looking for a job man ;D

  • @KingCorny93 yes but i'm only 14 years old D:

  • @armiamolla I'm 18 and go to work. Where's the problem?

  • @KingCorny93 i never said there is a problem D:

  • thumbs up if you were an idiot that turned on the volume in the begining :D

  • i have the same cables..dreamgear

  • 480p is better than the 480i you get with the original composite cable, but still is nowhere near HD (I know, I have a Wii with the Component cable, playing all games at 480p).

    This is false advertising!!

  • tripod ftw!

    piracy fail!

  • illigel games :O

  • The camera for the component display is zoomed in closer to the television, making the composite look worse. Also, the television displaying the component is slightly brigher, as if the brightness were set up a few notches.

    Anyway, I'm happy with my composite cable. I don't really care about the graphics, I think mine look good enough already.

    The Wii is a beautiful thing!

  • C'mon people! Don't buy cheap, unoffical trash. The officals are much better, believe me!

  • what was that app or what ever you used to play the games?

  • @ringedgebetterbereal USB Loader GX.

  • @gumballtech how do i get the apps ?

  • @ringedgebetterbereal Illegal Pirating channel but don't worry updates 4.2 and 4.3 deletes and block it.....!

  • @xXSinsearXx gay

  • If you want true HD then you should've bought a Playstion or an Xbox.

  • @haymaker710 hey, the gamecube are more powerful than a playstation 2, and the wii are more powerful than gamecube.

  • @JD29959 I meant an Xbox 360 or a PS3

  • @haymaker710 ok

  • @haymaker710 yeah, cuz you can play mario zelda metroid etc on the xbox/ps3.

  • @ragekage209 Yeah, and on the wii you play in 1080p hi def, watch dvd/blu-ray, and download tons of content onto the hard drive.

  • @haymaker710 i know the wii is pretty insane.

  • isn't it.

  • AND Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 can go 1080i

    ....Wii Sucks

  • @Zaroon115

    it is just upscaled to 1080i, you can do the same with the wii.

  • @jab307 yeah, I am. Can you now answer me seriously? Atleast to my first question.

  • i noticed around 4:00 a little blue sign that reads "YPbPr" showed up in the corner of the screen on the component video. do you know what that means and how to avoid that? and what would you suggest for getting the same thing but with a cheaper price? are t
