Gamespot broke out a separate section for more component-versus-composite cable-comparison shots since we wanted to show how the image-quality difference affects different games. High-detail games like Twilight Princess will get the most benefit from component cables, but you can get away with using composite cables in games with more simple graphics. Mouse over the default composite cable image to see the component cable version.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
i dont have HDtv but do have a 16:9 widescreen from sony ( yess sony - _ -XD) i dont have the need to get a HD tv.....used to it for years anyway.
Yea, you can say whatever you want about PS3 and the 360 when it comes to graphics. I am a graphics whoare myself. When it comes right down to gameplay and something completely new and futuristic with the whole new motion sensor controller, that is next gen gaming as far as im concerned. Graphics in games can only get so much better but I think Nintendo has really done something new and amazing here. People should in no way overlook the Wii. I have been gaming since the Atari days and Ive seen games come a hell of a long way since then. Graphics in games these days are getting intense, GOW has got to be the most realistic game there is, I find it pretty funny when people will bash this game because they are too stubborn or too much of a fanboy. I think the same kind of people are the ones not giving the Wii a chance as well. I think the real true gamers that have had lots of experience with games after all these years will be able to understand where im coming from.
I'll never had the money to get the XBOX 360 till now but, the primary priority of big entertainment investment is Wii. So XBOX 360 and GOW get to wait a lesser eternity. Now let's see if I need a better cable or not when Wii comes to Sweden.
