OK Nintendo, what gives? They claim their “next gen” console will play games in HD, but all the games I have played so far look terrible! All the jagged edges makes me wonder why I even still bother turning on the Wii…

So then I hear that the people of Hak5 were playing Wii games in high def! WHAT!? I was really excited to see that someone had figured out how to play Wii games in HD. However, my excitement quickly turned sour when I found out that you had to use a pretty beefy gaming PC and the Dolphin emulator to accomplish this.

What the hell Nintendo? The games can do 720p (and look great) and someone else has figured out an engine to do it. I am really disappointed that the engineers at Nintendo could not produce these results. I guess they are just too busy trying to decide what bunch of mini-games they are going to slap together, pass it as a complete game, ship it to the masses, and roll in the cash.

I guess that’s enough Nintendo bashing (for now). If you have a kicking, gaming PC and feel adventurous, I would suggest you give this a shot. You are going to need some game ISO’s to accomplish this. I really don’t recommend the PirateBay method, but watch this episode of Hak5 for more details on how to rip ISO’s of games you already own.

If you are on the fence about doing this (it is quite a time and hardware investment), check out the video below to help you make a decision.

BTW, if you have not checked out the video podcasts from Hak5, I recommend it. I have been watching for a while and glad to see they are finally part of the Revision3 family.
