HD Retrovision Premium YPbPr Component Video Cable for Wii/Wii U

I've been getting back into playing games on Nintendo's Wii console lately, mostly because of the homebrew scene and how it's possible to run games off of a hard drive. I had a Wii console that I hadn't used in a long while, and I've come to enjoy the games I never got to play up until now. Of course, I've been playing through component cables and a 480p signal since it's the best the Wii has to offer. However, the Monster brand cables that I was using were going bad. The image had some static if one looked closely enough, and periodically the picture began to drop out. If I was playing a game that required quick button presses, motions or stick movements this would be a problem. Initially, I thought it was just the console. However, I happened to have more than one Wii and TV set. After swapping out Wiis and trying TV sets, I concluded that it was the cables going bad. I didn't want to put up with this, so I set out to find a solution. Then HD Retrovision once again came to save the day. Specifically, it so happened that they had their own Wii component cables on the market. This, of course, was in response to giving Wii owners superior cables at a fair price compared to the rare and expensive genuine cables, and the cheap and poorly made unbranded or third party cables. After ordering the cables, and waiting a little longer than expected due to Hurricane Dorian, they finally arrived and I installed them no problem. The results were almost immediate; the picture was crystal clear, and it never dropped out even once. I was effectively back to playing Wii games with cables that were better than the genuine and the third party brands combined. Overall if you need some component cables for your Wii or even Wii U system that's worthwhile, HD Retrovision's cables fit the bill perfectly. They're light years beyond the third party cables, and even surpass the genuine Nintendo component cables, too. Hats off to HD Retrovision for another quality product.

Best component cables for the Wii by a mile. I use these with an old CRT TV and the image quality is perfect and probably the best you can get on a CRT. Wires feel sturdy and well made.

Improved the quality if my game graphics noticeably. Would buy again.

Very good price, good quality, let me see my old Wii in a way I never had before on my trinitron. Display is much more definite and colors stronger and more separated compared to a composite signal.

good but not the strongest. the individual cords are not that well protected so they can start to rip if youre not careful. Video looks good though.

Not all Wii component cables are created equal. In fact most of the plentiful cheap cables being sold today are terrible. Since component video is analog the signal can easily be degraded with cheap materials, poor construction and insufficient or nonexistent shielding. Up until now the best component cables were the official Nintendo cables which usually cost around $30 to $40 used. HD Retrovision made these to even more exacting standards than Nintendo. Honestly the difference is slight but it is noticeable if you know what to look for. In my case there’s a very faint yellowing of the picture with OEM cables that these clean up perfectly. To be fair I’ve invested pretty heavily in my gaming setup to get the absolute best quality so I use these through an Open Source Scan Converter which while providing a superior picture will also reveal all the flaws just like high end audio equipment will reveal the flaws in poor recordings. That’s where the difference really starts to show. (By which I mean the difference between HDRV cables and Nintendo cables - the cheap off brand cables are so bad I can almost spot them blindfolded) Even if you’re not a perfectionist though there’s a huge difference between these and the other cheap off brand cables. I inherited a pair of cheap cables when I bought a used Wii and the signal degradation is so bad with those they’re barely better than composite cables. So if you care at all about the quality of the image, accept no substitute. Not only are these actually better than official Nintendo cables, they’re priced so reasonably there really is no reason to go with anything else. I believe Nintendo has long since stopped making new cables for the Wii so this really is your only quality option.

HD Retrovision's cables are well known for being very well shielded to prevent any "color bleeding" or "interference of the video signal. I own both this set of cables for the Wii as well as a similar set for the PlayStation 2. I have had no problems with either one and they perform perfectly. Most stock component cables are perfectly passable and it's not a radical night and day difference between them and the HD Retrovision cables, but there definitely is a difference. I would classify these cables as a premium item. They are slightly more expensive than most other component cables, but do offer a superior experience. By no means do I think it's necessary to buy these cables over others to enjoy playing games on your Wii, but if you want the best picture quality available through component cables and can afford them, I'd very much recommend this product. A small note. These cables are specifically made for the Wii and Wii U. They will not connect to other game consoles. They are also component cables. NOT composite cables. This means they have the 5 colored jacks (3 for video and 2 for audio) that plug into your television NOT the 3 colored jacks. Hope this all helps. Cheers!

La calidad realmente es de lo más alto que se pueda pedir y se siente que va a durar decádas

Es bastante costoso, pero se justifica porque el material se ve de muy buena calidad, y la calidad de imagen es excelente, sin ruido o interferencias, a mi cconsola se le dañó la salida HDMI, asi que era mas barato comprarme este cable que arreglar el desperfecto. Excelente producto!

Es increíble como solo un cable puede hacer tanta diferencia en la imágen, la construcción del cable es de primera y mis expectativas fueron superadas por mucho.
