I can't believe the wifi got a client before ps5

Honestly surprised it took this long. I guess it's less than ideal, since the wii doesn't support modern tv resolutions.

The Wii supports 240p, though, which is very hard to replicate these days.

Or 480i if you want to watch classic anime on a CRT.

It can't really decode 480p/i very well.

The fact that it has component video out makes it a swiss army knife for everything else 240p/480i/480p.

		Indeed. I watched a backup of a [480p24] DVD movie with a (hacked) Wii quite a long time ago, as a fallback after the PS3 I was using got tripped up on that film's Cinavia[1] watermarks. The Wii worked OK-ish, but it was evident that it was barely keeping up with decoding the MPEG 2 video from the disc and putting it on the screen. Perhaps there is or was better software for that job, but there were some glitches and brief hangs. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia
