Now this is a topic I can sink my teeth into. Playing on a CRT provides a completely different experience - the scan lines, the blur; it all comes together to create a picture that, although technically less 'perfect' than today's standards, is visually coherent and just feels 'right' for certain games. Plus, the low lag is perfect for Smash Bros. I really wish more people could experience this instead of being stuck on modern, soulless flat panels.

480p graphics?? LOL, welcome to the stone age. Next you'll be saying we should ditch smartphones for carrier pigeons. Get with the times 🤣

Couldn't agree more. New consoles just keep pushing pixels, but they've lost that simple joy. Just booted up Twilight Princess again and it's still epic. The swimmy textures and jaggies are like an old friend, LOL.

While I can appreciate the nostalgia for 480p on a CRT, I must say the Wii's graphics have been substantially surpassed. However, the charm of the Wii was never in its graphical power but in its innovation and the way it brought people together. Appreciating the Wii for its graphics is akin to admiring a historical piece of art; it's more about its impact on gaming culture and less about its technical prowess.

sometimes the simplicity is what makes it great tbh, like it's not just about the pixels but the gameplay. and playing wii sports with the family... those were the days!

The way the Wii handles pixels is just chef's kiss. Hooked my Wii up to a Sony Trinitron CRT last week and it transported me back to the 2000s. There's nothing like experiencing Mario Galaxy on the hardware it was meant for. Modern LCDs just don't do it justice.

idk man, I get the nostalgia but have you seen the latest 4k games?? The worlds and details are just insane now. I like the old games but can't go back to that resolution 😅

Absolutely feel you on the Wii graphics. It's like, each game had its own charm without the need for hyper-realistic graphics. Wind Waker looked amazing with that cell-shading and still holds up!
