More Wii whinges - Its display this time

I noticed today, something that annoys me with the wii, its something microsoft sorted out by their standard on every game.

Why oh why did they not make all games widescreen in this day and age? Not only this, but there is not even an option to stretch games to fill a screen properly, so some titles you have little black bands at the side, this wouldnt bother me too much if it was uniformed, but different games are left with differing sizes!

Some nintendo games do it as well.

The problem though is that nintendo didnt state a standard that developers had to stick to, like microsoft did.

They're just far less restrictive as it allows more smaller companies to give it a shot. What first party games do this bar Mario Party?

Pretty sure Super Smash has a little, i think i noticed when my daughter was playing.

Syph, my kids mainly play the wii, i dont play an awful lot on it (well, actually i think the only game ive played more than 10 minutes has been Ghost Squad).

I would probably play it more if there was less of these problems.

Nope, the legit Brawl has full widescreen support. You may have issues playing a pirate copy on an 576i settings though.

Its possible, do you not have that problem with your copy? It was Ghost Squad that really set the annoyance rolling, not only did it not fill the screen, it was full screen as well.
