480p to Wii: It’s not me, it’s you…

Wii want 480i!!!--?Over at the Nintendo forums, there seems to be a budding number of Wii owners claiming to have experienced 480p problems with the Wii. While others were quick to dismiss it as a minor setback probably caused by the brand of TV, or by the component cables themselves, more have persistently claimed that it could actually be stemming from the Wii.

Going through the forums, you’d find that the most common problem would be that the video “just shows black screen with the COMP like nothing is connected to it.” Others have also concurred that this usually happens when playing Zelda, and the Photo Channel. Now, this only happens with 480p, and not at all with 480i.

While their theory is that it really could be an effect of some Wii flaw (since they’re all agreeing it can’t be just with their TV as they’re all using different ones, and cables, too), they are kinda skeptical that Nintendo would admit to this flaw in their console. Well, we won’t really know unless we try telling them about it, right?

So, Nintendo: Your Wiis, when in 480p, freak out on some HDTVs. Got anything to say about it?
