Using a good HDMI Adapter for the wii in comparison to component is quite the step up
i must say. SSB Brawl looked pretty damn amazing
on my 42" Panasonic Plasma.

Judging by 4:3/full screen because for the millionth time wii games look
a lot better in their normal 640x480 aspect ratio, the hdmi cable provided a brighter picture,
and PQ was more crisp,clear and the details seemed more pronounced and it was almost
like the picture had a bit more depth to it. Maxing the sharpness out on my TV and setting
it accordingly made my Wii games look absolutely phenomenal. gorgeous looking stuff...Metroid Prime 3,
Super Mario galaxy, Kirby's Epic Yarn ect ect.

The downside to this particular hdmi adapter is that even though it makes the colors richer, some of them are innacurate...it turns greens to a limey green color
and there is a ton of green color crushing going on, plus certain types of blues appear purpilish. ya, you
can knock down the color in PQ settings but the green crushing only goes away once the colors look
washed out and that just doesn't fly with me. But eh, I'm back to my 32" Tube tv because i can't
deal with the 2+ frames of input lag that my Panasonic has going on....Breaks the experience for me, which
is a shame because it provides one hell of an amazing picture...Tube TV looks good via component,
but it doesn't have progressive scan, a flat screen, as good as a color gamut 'or' hdmi connection resultings in a good but not 'amazing' picture that my panny easily provides.

Still need to find a 50" 1 frame/16ms-24ms capable set. I've got two in mind, and i have 4 months until the Wii U
hits so there's no real rush...yet. XP

You cant tell the difference

Always found ir funny how its only nintendo fans who cant see HD and downplay graphical improvements.

The stage is different?

Look at the enemy with spikes. Look at the detail in whatever the character is standing on.

Compare.

The platform is silver in one and grey in another? The enemy is dark blue in one and light blue in the other?

I really need an image of Chuck Norris facepalming to even begin to describe the turn this thread has taken.

You know, there's a difference between not caring about HD (which I get), then refusing to accept its prescence. I don't know how you can't see the HD in the second MIghty Switch Force pic.

All I see is different colors for the pics, like little barly noticeable color changes

You are in desperate need of an optometrist. Giving you the benefit of the doubt here, and assuming that you're not the most stubborn Nintendo fanboy on the Internet (props for sheer dedication if you are), if you genuinely cannot see the difference between SD and HD, then you quite genuinely have a vision problem than needs to be seen to.

And I say that in all seriousness. Eye health is really not something a gamer wants to ignore.

Seeing the 3DS version as a sharp image as well as the WiiU version as a sharp image both look great to me

He is obviously playing with you all... It's the oldest of troll tricks.

I think you guys maybe need to make the pics bigger, I could see how someone who doesn't have that good of vision can't see much of a difference. The pics are a bit on the tiny side.

If his vision was that bad then he needs glasses. If he can't see the difference, then I'd question how he plays video games, since vision is kind of necessary to play most games.
And yes, I'm aware of the guy who plays games like COD with his face.

Smoother pixelling. Better lighting. Sharper colours. A different and incomparably detailed background.

Go ahead and tell me you can't notice these differences in particular now. I f---ing dare you.

The only real way to compare it other than with tiny screenshots is to see the shots in actual size.

You'd know the difference if you played a PS3 in 360 with the standard av cable vs in 1080p with an HDMI cable. The difference is huge

I can see the difference between SD and HD on the Mighty Switch Force example, but the art direction in both look amazing. The SD version has a retro look to the graphics whereas the HD one seems more futuristic.

_{I finally learned how to do this!}

Sorry if I think BOTH images looks sharp and crisp

actually, i think i may know what the problem is — he's looking at the images as they are on this page, and they've been downsized, so the compression leaves them both looking very similar.

@Otaku: Right-click the first image, then choose 'View Image' (or the option in your particular browser of choice that allows you to view the image itself apart from the page it's on). Make sure the image is at 100% resolution, and take a good look at it — notice how wobbly the outlines around all the sprites are? the fuzzy, washed-out look in general, especially the background and the shading in general? Now go back and do the same for the second image, right-click/View Image/make sure it's at 100%. Notice how smooth all the outlines are now, how crisp the cel-shaded style is? how you can see deeply into the distance in the background? That's what they're trying to explain to you.
