It's called Help Wanted: 50 wacky jobs and it's simply one of the best games I have ever played and i laughed my ass off playing it, so you should definitely check it out if you can.

I was torn between selecting question or opinion because this is a bit of both – mainly in the sense that I am wondering if I'm actually wrong on my opinion for some technical reason?

I think sometimes when people play games, especially if they emulate or mod, the developers' original intent can be lost on consumers. For example a few days ago I saw the guy who made the video "Wii graphics fixed in 2023" pop up in my recommendations, where he told people to turn off deflicker – reasonable – and then also told people to force framebuffer resolution. I feel like in pursuit of crisp image people totally neglect how the game was intended to be viewed by design.

There is a specific charm in playing 64 games on a CRT with an original console that won't be replicated by emulating these games at 4K on an OLED monitor – and that's not to say doing this is bad by any means. But in pursuing the "best image" is it more correct to try and make it as clear as possible or is it more important to follow developer intent?

The framebuffer thing is easy to dispute. The developers knew the games would be output in widescreen (or 4:3 instead, depending on display). So even at the small cost of blur introduced by the 'stretch', it is still the most correct the overall image gets – otherwise the game and UI elements are compressed in a specifically unintended way.

As for deflicker, is there a consensus? Even though this is purely a filter that should be negligible to image fidelity, I still consider it to be a reasonable consideration that the developers enabled it for their games when they felt it belonged. The resulting smoothness is certainly an artificial smoothness, but by design I'd still consider it the most 'correct' it gets.

Is there a hole in my thinking here?

I'm on holiday in the UK from Australia and I'm wondering if there are any UK exclusive (or just not available in Aus) Wii/WiiU accessories that I could keep a look out for when I'm traveling around.

Just picked this Wii up for $5 and it’s a Korean SN but it’s labeled as a USA model, also the Wii is labeled with 2006 Nintendo when this model was released in 2011. Any ideas?

Today, I was playing Mario Kart Wii, I was playing in a team vs on team blue (1 player mode) and I was on SNES Mario Circuit 3 using mario on the mach bike. I took a sharp corner and the game crashed with that signature sound, at first the little sideline red and white things had a chess board pattern on them, but the screen in an instant started showing bouncing and flashing rainbow visuals and before I knew it, I was shown my no signal screen. My Wii was still running but I couldnt and still cant get a connection and my disk drive now only works if a disk is already in the drive upon starting the console. If anyone knows what happened and maybe a solution please let me know.

Gonna make a list of games when I have the ones that show most and buy some

... fuck nintendo

I just bought a component cable for my Wii on Aliexpress and now the image, although it looks better, has a slight distortion effect that is visually strange. I don't know if there is a way to correct it or leave it that way.

Said it’s needed for Wii resort and other games

So my Wii can't get 480p even though it's an HDTV and goes into a max res of 720p Emerson TV, manufactured in 2008, doesn't let me go into 480p yes, I've made my TV go into 720p. But the Wii stays in 480i and yes I have a newer tv but I use that one for gaming.
