No, the Wii unfortunately can't run games in resolutions higher than 480p, a sad fact for audio/visual connoisseurs. But in this fantastical age of technological wizardry and workarounds, that doesn't mean we can't have a glimpse of what could have been.
Using the Wii PC emulator Dolphin, YouTube user renebarahona (via Kotaku) has uploaded a few videos showing some Wii games running in 720p, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl (above) and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (below). Naturally, be sure to click the HD button to get the full effect. Not bad, huh?
If you like what you see enough to want to try it on your own, keep in mind that you need pretty competent PC specs to run the games well. And of course, you need to own the games themselves, as acquiring them through any other nefarious means is very much illegal.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Dolphin the Wii Emulator (720p HD)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King on Dolphin the Wii Emulator (720p HD)

BONUS!: Metroid and Zelda TP in 1080p/720p!
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on Dolphin the Wii Emulator (1080p HD)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Dolphin the Wii Emulator (720p HD)

Discuss :D

ya its dolphin , its basically an emulator for the gamecube, but as the architecture is basically the same, it also emulates many wii games very well......
