component cables will be available at launch, and I would expect most games to support 480p at least, so it shouldnt look TOO bad on your lcd

Yeah considering there is little to no difference between 480i and 480p I'm sure Nintendo will require 480p support across the board if for no other reason but to keep themselves from being TOO far behind the the resolution departement compaired to Sony and MS.

Considering most Gamecube games supported 480p and if you had a modchip you could set it to bump up the resolution of the few games that didn't.

I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surpirsed by the Wii's graphical capabilities not having to support HD they'll be able to levere the power they DO have to be quite competitive at the 480p level... meaning if you don't own an HDTV you might not be able to tell the difference between 360, PS3 and Wii games.

BTW if you guys would like a dedicated Wii forum (or a dedicated DS forum for that matter) please post here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=557531

Has anyone really thought of the possibility of modding the Wii? This was in the Xbox section but it didnt relate much to XBOX so I posted this here. I had a few pretty good ideas but I cant find taht topic now and I dont remember now. So any ideas?

casemodding? why woud you want to, its an orgasmic looking peice of kit, plus there not really that much you could do. Perhaps a dvd wndow but i dont know how the slot loading system works.

Done.

Sorry if the topic seems a little out of order... it is now

Would be cool if Gamecube homebrew just booted. That would be quite the gift from Nintendo, not like they would have much to lose if it just worked, and the buzz would get even more people to buy it.

It would be ideal if wii can be hacked. The problem with these 7th generation consoles is that they require frequent updates from the internet. If someone can find an exploit that allows you to play a backup game, they can quickly release an update that prevents you from doing it. I just hope that I am wrong about this.

You guys are missing the obvious mod... and I call it!

It looks like a Revolution would fit right inside the classic N.E.S. If not, that'd be the first mod that comes to mind

But I'd love to see the system be put along side or in other hardware. You might even be able to fit it in a TiVo or something crazy like that.

Anyone know the specs on the Wii's power supply? And other things that relate to power.

Because since the thing is soo small, I really wanna throw a rechargeable battery into my backpack..throw the wii in there..and throw a monitor in there..and game during school...or anywhere for that matter.

I know the gamecube had a battery and portable screen...

It would be sooooo awesome.
