What is the best aspect ratio for Wii?

Basically a Wii can only output 4:3 so you have 3 options:
  • Output 4:3 and letterbox it (best image)
  • Output 4:3 and stretch it (not recommended)
  • Set Wii to 16:9. It will still output at 4:3, but this will be drawn at a ratio that would look good stretched.
