Wii component cables VS the bundled composite cables

My Official Nintendo component cables arrived today. Hooked it right up and started playing. The first thing that really jumped out at me was when I launched Zelda and saw Link on Epona, I was amazed. It’s sort of bitter sweet, it tends to sharpen the edges so much they become too defined, but it’s WAY better especially during motion. I took a whole bunch of screen shots.

Update 1: After playing Zelda for 5 hours after I took these pictures, I don’t think I could ever go back to the composite cables. The clarity was stunning, it felt kind of like a PC game the way things were so clean.

Update 2: SirVenom here. As of about Christmas ’06, MadCatz is featuring our images to promote their component cables. See it here.

Some things to note: These pictures OFF of the TV and even with an LCD you get scan lines (which are apparent in picture 4 on the left, those are NOT in game, but something the camera pics up on.
Also, I do agree that taking pictures of your TV (even in a controlled environment, like I did) doesn’t do the pictures justice. I’ve come to learn that gamespot has some really great “captures” with rollovers, showing the difference:

This is on a Samsung 42″ LCD TV.

    I don’t know why Nintendo don’t make an accessory that scales the wii to 720 or 1080, that’s the only way to get rid of those jagged lines. otherwise you only get the super blurry image of 480i or the super colorful but extremely jagged lines of 480p. The cables don’t make a big difference with the lines, just the colors.

    SS don't look so much difference. Have you tried it on full hd tv?

    They don't make THAT much of a difference, but if you want the best possible image quality out of your Wii, the Component cable is the way to go.

      They do actually. There’s a HUGE difference in quality, at least on ps3. (I know i should be using HDMI but my tv doesnt accept it [1080i rear projection hdtv])

      they do make a noticable difference. The person(s) who took those pictures didn’t know how to properly use a camera. Like mentionned above, the Wii isn’t Next Gen and isn’t HD.
