What's a Wii-mulator? I'll TELL you what the Wii-mulator is! It's called Dolphin (hmmm) and it is an emulator for the PC that can allow Wii games to display in high-definition 720p resolution (provided you have a powerful enough computer to use it). The Wii, of course, naturally displays on U.S. TV sets in the ol' fashioned 480i standard resolution (that's been around forever) or in the crisper 480p resolution through progressive scan. But now the —ahem— graphics "ladies of the night" can wonder what may have been or may be to come through the Dolphin emulator. Why not the Revolution emulator? Is the use of the Gamecube code name some sort of backhanded compliment towards the platform?
Anyway, now that you've seen Super Smash Bros. Brawl HD style, here's another clip from YouTube user 'renebarahona' showing WiiWare game Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King through the magic of the Dolphin. Oh, click HD button on the clips to really feel the high resolutions.
