Obviously, playing Wii and GamCube games in HD isn't possible normally, but here's what they look like in HD. I think it's pretty awesome.

Note: These images aren't mine, they're from another forum. I'm just posting them to show what Wii and GameCube games look like when played in HD. This thread isn't for discussion about how to do such things.

<big>And, yes, some textures, lighting, etc. are messed up. Some games get messed up when they are played via this method.</big>
 
Added Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing: City Folk, and more New Super Mario Bros.

Why wouldn't they? If you have an HD TV, wouldn't you want everything to be in HD?
Yes, but not Wii games. Sure maybe some games, but most are cartoonish, and cartoon in HD? Eh...

You're not making any sense. Even if something is "cartoonish", that doesn't mean it doesn't benefit from being in HD. It can only look better in HD, not worse. Besides, just look at what The Wind Waker looks like in HD. Cartoonish? Yes. Looks amazing in HD? *censored.3.0* YES.

Yeah, but I'd rather something more lifelike and real to be in HD, not cartoon.

It's not like you CAN'T play something else in HD if you choose to play something a little more "cartoony" in HD. I wasn't asking "which game would you want to play in HD, if you could only choose one?" >_> The point is, HD is better, period. There's no reason to NOT want to play or watch something in HD.

I agree with you Tye. Some people play Wii you know and why wouldn't they want it to be HD?

No, you posted pictures of Wii games in HD, which to me don't look all that different. Anyway, I'll stop arguing since I know how most of these end up.

That's not true HD, it's just 480p. I have the same thing.

EDIT: This is Tye, not Andrew. I didn't realize he was logged in when I posted. XD
