No true widescreen on Mario Party 8 was pretty annoying. I'm sure not many people have a 16:9 capable TV, but for those that do, the borders on MP8 had to bother them some bit (it did bother me for a few plays, but I got used to it after awhile). However, I'm not sure our friends across the sea did any better. Check out the PAL version above, and judge for yourself which one you like more. Neither is an acceptable answer.


Update: Courtesy of the one, the only, Megabyte: 'This entry didn't make it clear, but PAL gamers don't have the border OR any wide-screen option at all.  In other words, it would stretch it like VC games, but the particular TV in the photo knows how to adapt the image so that it doesn't stretch.'

The dunce cap has been rightly placed on top of my head, and I shall research more about these "PAL" tvs. I may take a trip there, plug in my Wii, and see what happens. I'm sure my US Wii will have no problems! ;-)

Well, it's better than just stretching it out like on VC games.
