Will this work for my Nintendo Wii? I bought a Wii 2 HDMI converter not too long ago but that doesn't work for me. The images were still too blurry and pixalated. I would love to have my old school games I used to grow up with to be playable again.

This will work for a Wii, however, it does not upvert the image. It only makes the output from the Wii the same as the input of the TV; the resolution is still the same. I had to try a few different settings to get the best image possible.

Almost certainly, it would not. I suspect it might even make the effect worse, because I had so much trouble using the unit with a VCR (only played bits and snatches of NTSC sourced video in 'high definition'. I saw more blank screen than content until I rigged the VCR to play through the tuner.Video standards are never perfect, nor would I expect a super nintendo to be able to source perfectly realistic (or smooth) HD content.

I got it for my wii. When the wii is off the light on the hdmi adapter keeps it warm for some reason. It should work on the wii u though. I would do some more research on it on the net first if I was u

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

I used my unit to connect a WII to a TV. The Wii has rca outputs(red, white, and yellow) The Tv only has hdmi inputs. This unit works very well for me. It translates the picture and sound to the TV. Hope this helps.

It's not an HDMI to component converter. If it were, then you would turn an HDMI signal into a Component signal so that you could plug an HDMI only output device into a Component input on your TV. This particular box does the opposite. It will allow you to plug in a Component only output device (such as a Wii Console with the official component cable) into a screen that only has HDMI ports open, such as a monitor. And trust me, if we are looking at the same model, the latter is the case. I own one, I have for around 6 months now and this one definitely only goes one way: Component to HDMI.

While I have not done that setup myself, it should still work. Just keep in mind, in my opinion, the 3D conversion feels a little off. Playing an actual 3D source through it works great though.

What the device does is scale an SD image to an HD resolution...or just blow up the image to fit the screen properly, its not true HD as its an SD image scaled. If you have netflix and an HDTV, might I suggest purchasing a Roku 2 box, its smaller and does HD content which the Wii does not.

That is the reason I purchased it. It did not work. This converts hdmi to vga. Not vga to hdmi which is what we need. With what I have learned it only works one way.

I use component cables for my Wii. Its a slight upgrade from the regular av cables but my pictures looks pretty decent, maabe adjust your tv setting? I haven't gotten it yet, but I'm eyeing this as a solution http://www.microcenter.com/product/385577/Component_Video_and_Audio_to_HDMI_ConverterMy Wii looks ok as I stated, the reason I looked into the Portta was for my PS2, and it is the reason I'm going to get the SIIG. I know it is a bit pricey, but for me it will be worth it, instead of constantly switching cables in and out - keep in mind I have 3 HDMI ports and 2 HDMI splitters, bit I just have a lot of components and the SGIII would save me a headache anytime I wanna play with my PS2.

Does it support it - yes; I haven't used it so I don't know how well it works. There were known issues with 3D in certain configurations so you'd want the latest firmware. What doesn't work is backward compatibility with DVI - it will not properly separate the video signal for the display doing an HDMI-to-DVI conversion (even though it's supposed to work) and there is no component out so you have to feed HDMI to your display (or AVR).

It may or may not be helpful to you. I was successful in using the component video with the Wii. See if you can use the component video input to the tv using a different source other than the XBox 360 if you have not tried that already. If another source works, then it's definitely a setting in the Xbox as j.Howser has suggested.

I am pretty sure u can I owned a Wii and currently xbox360 and they both worked great with this converter just takes a hdmi input and converts it into vga and stereo sound outputs.

You CANNOT with this device. There is zero upscaling with this device. It's false advertising. There is no button to push to give u anything more than what the native resolution for the wii uses. I would not recommend this device to anyone.
