## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overpriced, but works perfectly
*by S***N on April 14, 2009*

If you've been playing console games for any length of time, you're used to overpriced accessories, and the Wii is no exception. Branded SD cards, component cables with a proprietary adapter, $20 for a nunchuck, etc. If you're willing to pay the extra for first-party assurance, this cable is for you.After having the Wii for a few months and having to crawl around behind the entertainment console every time we took it somewhere else (it's a hit at family gatherings and other get-togethers), I decided to get another A/V cable. This way, I would just have to unplug the console and leave the A/V cable (the power adapter and sensor bar are much easier to unplug and pack) when we traveled. I highly recommend this if you take your Wii on the road often. If you do decide to do this, you might as well get the component cable for your place.It does exactly what is says: enables 480p display of the signal coming from your Wii. This is not HD, but it looks better than the normal 480i. I have compared the difference on my 50" Panasonic TH-50PX80U (720p) and on my parents' 50" Pioneer PDP-5080HD (720p), and while it does smooth the lines and make the overall picture more crisp, it's not like going from standard to high definition. If I showed you the different pictures a week apart, you might not be able to tell the difference. When we're traveling and using the composite cables, I don't notice unless I'm looking for it.That said, if you're going to be staring at the picture for hours and hours at a time, it's probably worth 12% of the cost of the unit to make that picture look its best. You can go the third-party route, but it's worth it to me to know it's going to work and look good instead of wondering about the manufacturing quality of that $10 generic cable.It is a bit annoying that you can't splice the audio and video ends as much as with the composite cable, but that's easily taken care of with a trip to your local audio shop for extenders or the routing of signals from your TV to your receiver: most newer TVs will have digital or optical out and almost all TVs have composite out.I haven't experienced degradation in signal from bundling the cable behind the TV, but I keep it away from the rest of the cables, so that might help. I also had to muscle the connectors in, but all good component cables I've bought are the same way. Unless you're taking them off every week, just be happy they'll never come off.As other reviewers have pointed out, the Wii does not automatically switch to 480p when you start using this cable. You'll have to manually switch it in the Wii Settings. Also, it should go without saying, but make sure you do have a free component input on your TV and that it can display 480p.Pros- First-party, Nintendo-branded- Makes picture a little more crisp- Can set this up to stay at home and travel with the compositeCons- Overpriced- Can only split audio and video connectors a littleVerdictI'd buy it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Cables and Awesome Picture!  Component Input Necessity.
*by D***E on December 24, 2007*

These cables are great! If you have an HDTV or just a TV with component inputs, these cables are a necessity for better picture. I have both a CRT style TV with component inputs and a 1080p HDTV. Both TV's have more vibrant colors and better picture when using the component cables. Make sure that your HDTV supports 480p if you want the Wii to display in that resolution. DO NOT TRY TO ENABLE 480P IN THE WII SETTINGS IF YOUR TV WILL NOT DISPLAY THAT RESOLUTION.For those not noticing a difference compared to the included Composite Cables this can be atttributed to 2 things:1. You have forgotten to enable 480p in the Wii Settings2. Your HDTV does not display 480p as well as it's native resolution like 1080i/1080p. Not all HDTV's are built the same.***VERY IMPORTANT FOR 480p Output***-Please note that your TV must be a high-definition TV (HDTV) or enhanced-definition TV (EDTV) to view 480p output.-You will also be required to change your Wii settings from Standard TV (480i) to EDTV/HDTV to view 480p.***VERY IMPORTANT FOR 480p Output***Super Mario Galaxy looks even more incredible with these cables!! Awesome.Thanks Amazon for the great price! Thanks Nintendo for another fantastic product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good condition, but NOT NEW
*by N***7 on April 25, 2025*

Works well as it should and seems to be in good condition. It is a used item with no original packaging. This item is presented as if it is new in box, so I was a little disappointed to find that that was not the case. However I am happy that I can play my Wii again on my TV with a better picture.
