if you know that why are you asking this question

not really. I have a 1080i tv and have my wii set up to it. Dosen't look bad. Looks like a regualar t.v. hook on into the wii. But i have heard of a friend saying th'ers a cable for hd. tvs.kevo14

Yes and no

Yes it can but it wont be a video game it'll have to run like a slide show

The xbox ran games in 720p often and ps2 ran Grand Turismo 4 in 1080i. So the Wii is more than capable, Nintendo just doesn't want to do it right now. A firmware could easily change that though, it would be a nice welcome.

There's always a compromise though. Yes, many Xbox games ran at 720p, but how many did so at the exact same AA, framerate, etc, as on 480p?

Soul Calibur 2

Doubt it, unless the game wasn't actually optimised for 480i/p. Running at higher resolutions takes more processing power. Since no proccessor runs at infinity, there's obviously a peak point, meaning there'll be less processing power to go around.

There was a rumor a while ago saying that the Wii could run 720p,but not well enough to run at a stable framerate.Maybe it's true...VGobbsesser

If the xbox and ps2 can do it, then so could Wii.

Google it, SC2 runs at 720p on the xbox.Ramadear

I know it runs 720p. That is not the issue. The issue is if it is possible for a game to run at the exact same framerate, without having to reduce the Antialiasing or other graphical settings (assuming of course that the game peaks the processor in the first place). If you've done any PC gaming, you'll know that running a game at a higher resolution, unless your computer massively exceeds the minimum specs, usually means toning down one or more of the other graphical settings to get a decent framerate.

I do a lot of pc gaming and I know what your talking about. My only point is that lots of Xbox games ran at 720p with no sacrifice in visuals. PS2 ran Gran Turismo 4 at 1080i with no sacrifice in visuals. If those two systems can do then Wii could do it as well. But Nintendo supporting it is another story.

Soul Calibur was upscaled to 720p. It was rendered in 480p.

wii on hdtv is too laggy
good luck trying to play games like gh3 or ssbbLeopold_Stotch

If it's got lag buy component cables

Problem solved

it will still lag. just not as much.Leopold_Stotch

I'm using component cables with no lag at all. I believe the refresh rate of the tv is what determines whether it will lag or not, mine is like 8 miliseconds or something like that.

you could technically put the wii in 1080p

but you would need some equipiment

check this link and this one too for details on what you need

Xbox games were running in 720p, yet Halo 3 can't? Damn, if that was a Wii game, all hell would be breaking loose. OMG TEH GRAPHICSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!11!11 SNES COULD DO WUT TEH WII DUZ.

I am not sure it even matters if the Wii could do this as the majority of the fanbase probably wouldn't care.

That's not the refresh rate, that's the respons time. That is one of the things that makes LCD inferior to CRT, high respons time.

Didn't the Wii have a to small framebuffer to be able to output resolutions over 480p?
If I remember right is about half of the eDRAM used to framebuffer...

I'm sure it can, although the amount of polygons would have to be reduced because of the processor power needed.AlmightyDerek

no it could do it even with all the polygons if the xbox or ps2 could do it.
