Wii Warm Up: is 480p a problem with your GameCube games?
We've encountered a problem recently. See, we finished Twilight Princess a couple of weeks ago and we've declared it our favorite Legend of Zelda adventure of all time. But, just to be sure, we had to go back and play through Wind Waker again, which was our favorite before playing through Twilight Princess. We noticed something horrible, however, when we hit the high seas.
The problem is that our component cables don't display blues all that well. We get these funky, off-blue vertical lines that are about a quarter-inch thick and spaced about a half-inch apart. We couldn't believe our eyes and immediately checked the cable connection on the back of our Wii and TV. No dice. So we unplugged each cable and replugged them back into our TV. Still, no dice. We then thought it could be the brand of cable we purchased, which were the Mad Catz variety (we're cheap, but not that cheap).
Of course, our next idea was to try another game with a lot of blues to see if the problem persisted there. So, we popped in Super Mario Sunshine, turned on Progressive Scan mode and found the game to look fine. No problem with the water or any of the other blues in the game. Again, no dice.
What would we do? Well, we thought there would be no better place to ask than here. Have any of you out there encountered this problem with any of your GameCube games, namely Wind Waker? Have you purchased the Mad Catz cables? Have you purchased Nintendo's official cables and run into the same problem we did with Wind Waker? Are we insane? Bueller?
