Fun:
A must if you own any tv that supports componant, to get the best graphics out of the wii. A previous reviewer stated he didnt notice any difference, but in order to see the differences you must edit the setting on the wii itself to output 480p, maybe he did not do this, because the difference is definately noticable when you do.

Fun:
Component does give a far superior picture. You must ensure to select the correct settings in the wii menu and then the same on your TV.
As the wii doesn't do HD the most benefit will come from the progressive scan - this will prevent nasty interlaced edges on fast moving objects. As was mentioned by another reviewer, pixelation can increase - because the the picture is sharper you don't get the blurry effect to smooth edges.
The cable is well worth it if you have a decent sized and capable TV.

Note this does not give you a high definition signal! All you need is a TV that accepts component input.
If you own a Wii and have not yet bought a component cable then you should seriously consider getting one. The standard Wii package only includes a SCART connection and in layman's terms that means a poor picture quality that is blurry edged and vague. You would not believe the improvement a component cable gives - I'd honestly go as far as to say that it's a real shame Nintendo don't give a component cable as standard.
By upgrading the connection with a component cable you get crisp edged graphics that are clear and much much better on the eye. I would say the quality is two or threefold improved. It has to be seen to be believed - similar to changing from a VHS video to a DVD!
You can check your TV is compatible by seeing if the back of the TV has a row of red green and blue sockets (for the picture signal), with 2 audio sockets (red and white) to accompany them.
This is one of the best purchases you can choose for a Wii system.
The official Nintendo cable will always offer a good quality signal - you know that you are getting what you pay for. However I must stress that there are 3rd party and cheaper options out there that are just as good, but there are also the bad 3rd party offerings too. I have personally compared both a 3rd party and the Nintendo cable in the past.
The Nintendo option will allow you to avoid the minefield that is 3rd party copies, but costs a little more for the privilege.
