For those of you who love to play the Wii and still use the standard composite cable that comes with it, there’s good news: a third-party accessory is available that lets you play in 480p resolution. It’s called the Wii2HDMI adapter and it’s from the popular company Neoya. not me? No..no..not the singer, Neoya! Have you never heard of them? It is one of the two divisions of Sharewide LTD based in Hong Kong. Neoya.com mainly ships electronic accessories manufactured by the other division, “Neoya Manufactured Products”. Now, back to this amazing adapter.
Thanks to Wii2HDMI there’s no need to fumble around with a bunch of sloppy and messy cables; instead, you can enjoy the convenience of managing a clean and tidy cable. This adapter has a 3.5mm jack to connect your speakers and immerse yourself in all the sounds that a banana hunting gorilla makes while playing “Donkey Kong Country Returns”.
Wii2HDMI supports 480i, 480p for NTSC and 576i for PAL display modes. If you already have 480p resolution with your Wii, you won’t have to pay the $39.95 it costs to use this adapter because there will be no difference in picture quality. Plus, it’s pretty big at 3 inches, so it saves a little extra space. And it won’t be aesthetically pleasing if you have a fancy black Wii; the adapter is white with blue lettering, so it’s disappointing if that sort of thing is important to you.
You may be able to find plenty of good deals on HD component cables that will let you play at 480p resolution, but since HDMI is fully digital, it will give you a continuously high-quality picture, whereas analog can do worse. depending on the length of the cables. and/or condition. Note that this is the only HDMI cable for Wii. Neoya prides itself on making unconventional electronics, so if you want an HDMI cable for Wii, you’ll get it from them. They also offer an HDMI cable for 7.95.
Since we’ve made the transition to digital, maybe the next generation of Nintendo consoles will have an HDMI out port, but until then, the Wii2HDMI will have to work.
