GOATBOY: Wii interface features awesome ambient music just like the GC

Watch IGN Weekly #30 above to see/hear it. I'm just gonna leave it on at my house and let the ambience fill the air

I note that WPA-PSK is in there too - which should put a few minds at rest.

And that's also good for those who still fear of the jittery cursor that flies all over the place.

Well done Nintendo! You've joined the modern world by using updated WiFi encryption.

Now somehow release an update for the DS... somehow... I could have a secure wifi network then.

Someone was asking about the length of the sensor bar cable

I wanted to get an idea of how good the Wii will look running at 480p on my HDTV so I swapped from the VGA cable on my 360 to a component one and knocked it down to 480P. Is that a legit comparison?

For resolution, yes.

Well I wasn't planning on comparing the graphics engines

I just wanted to see what the image quality would be like.

*Edit. For clarification* Interlaced stuff (RGB on the PS2/GC) is decent but not perfect but the lower the rez goes the worse the picture gets. The NES seems to run ok (But nowhere near perfect) but my c64 tv game is bloody awful.

Yeah, as a ballpark figure I'd say that's probably about right

Providing the Wii can output everything in 480p progressive rather than 480i (pretty sure this has been confirmed?)

Cheers

Bubba

Its upto the games I think.
All the main ones have been confirmed for 480p, however.
-
Do some tv's have different scaleing options?
I mean, I choice between blurness and pixalyness? Id guess NES games and such would be nicer with simply bigger pixals.
