It makes the Wii look much better
(5 out of 5) by D. Dalessio on Dec 30, 2007 (Walpole, MA United States)This S-video cable works great. It fits snugly in the back of the Wii, and the 9.8 foot long cable is plenty long enough to reach the input on my A/V receiver.
Text is much clearer, easier on the eyes.
The cable has S-video, composite (yellow RCA), and left and right audio RCA.
I have a regular old standard definition tube, a 32" JVC. 480i.
I can't say how this compares to the Component cables that are out there. But if you have a standard definition tv like I do, there's not a whole lot of difference between S-video and Component. If you have a HDTV, then go with the Component cable, not this one.
In summary, this cable is a huge improvement over the composite cable that comes with the Wii. If you have a HDTV, then consider the Component cable instead.

It works, it's a cable
(5 out of 5) by Kyle Hower on Dec 2, 2007 (Middletown, PA)This works just fine. If your best input is S-Video then you should get this for your Wii. I wouldn't bother spending more money for any other brands because it either works or it doesn't. This works, buy it.

An Excellent Cabling Solution for the Selective Wii Accessorizer
(5 out of 5) by T. Brinson on Sep 23, 2007 (Lollapalooza, Illinois)This "cable" as it is called is rather quite the nifty creation. It has increased my Wii viewing enjoyment immeasurably (except, obviously, in a number of stars, and that data is listed above.) Consider this: I can now see things on my TV screen in finer, sharper, and clearer detail than ever before while using my Wii, and this...this, friends, is the hallmark of a successful product that does exactly what it should, and oh so much more. Did it have to be as long as it is to do its job? No, but it is, and it handles the extra length like some long, wiry champion. My only complaint, is that it does not come in the Bondi Blue color so as to match my four 1st Generation iMacs which sit about my living room, allowing me to bask in their lovely blue glow.
I love my cable. Get an 9.8' S-av Cable for Nintendo Wii to call your own, you won't regret it. Ever.

Improvement over cables that came with game
(4 out of 5) by J. Touchet on Jul 21, 2008 (Minneapolis, MN)Noticable more crisp and clear that the cables that came with game, but probably not as good as component cables.

Better clarity then the RCA default cable for standard CRT tvs
(5 out of 5) by LanaF on Jun 5, 2008 (ny)If you don't have a tv that has component (Red, Blue Green) cables, this is for you. I bought this by reading reviews & it is much better then the RCA yellow composite ones that comes w/the Wii.
The Nintendo channel videos are MUCH better by a long shot & I also switched the cables back/forth during a paused Nintendo video of a DS game trailer, I could read the words on that game a bit better.
Edit: 10.2009 - still no problems.
