It's funny that the NES Classic has an HDMI output, and the Wii has a composite video output.
- striking 10y agoAt this point it's cheaper to have just HDMI output rather than some sort of composite/component. Plus, the Wii couldn't achieve anything above 480p/576i... this has upscaling to 1080p for the "highest quality pixels" as well as its CRT shader mode.
- toast0 10y agoThe Wii came with a composite cable for maximum compatibility and component video for high quality. In 2006, many people still had CRTs with no HDMI and there's not a whole lot of visible difference between component and hdmi. In 2016, HDMI is a much better choice. Leaving it out would be strange, and saving the cost of outputting analog is worth it.
