720p for Wii? You never know…

720p is a respectable number for the Wii, as current statements from Nintendo peg it at 480p resolution with component cables. The question is whether that statement of 720p is real or not.

Kotaku mentions this point as the UK‘s “Nintendo: The Official Magazine” mentions it in their Wii information article. According to the magazine, “At the time of going to print, Wii games will output in 720i and 720p.” If that’s their big revelation and feature, it’s probably going to be a big thing among Nintendo fans. That is, if the information stated in the magazine is true.

There’s just one problem with that assertion, and that’s fact checking.

Kotaku put it in rather certain terms, citing an earlier bit of mistaken info the UK mag brought up. “Of course this is the same magazine that (incorrectly) said that the Wii’s base was its power brick,” the Kotaku article wrote. with launch day getting closer, these kinds of rumors will definitely start to pile up. Hopefully, we can pick some answers up for you guys and shed some light on the weirdness of it all.
