My question is: would these cables eliminate lag on an HDTV? Being able to run my Wii on my HDTV would mean my friend can play Mega Man on my NES on my old TV while I play Mega Man on my new TV.

You mean component. The default cable that comes with the wii is composite.

Also lot of virtual console games don't work using component cables. Unless I misunderstood and you were talking about Megaman 9 or 10.

All of my games (VC, GameCube, WiiWare) work with component cables. If you have a TV that has component jacks I highly recommend them.

NES and Genesis games don't work. N64 do. For me, anyway

Nes games don't work with component. It sucks... =/
But you absolutely must have a component cable for a HDTV or it will lag and look horrible.

It won't cut out all the lag, but it's definitely a major step up. Be sure to turn on the HDTV's game mode too

From my personal experience, it cuts out all the lag that could effect the match in any way. I have never been able to notice the difference between my HDTV and my other tv.

But I have made rule for my tourneys that you don't have to play a set in a HDTV if one of the players don't want to as some people immediately start to whine about it.

No NES games, but no lag? I can live with that, I suppose. Thanks everyone!

Here's a good video that explains input lag on HDTV's.

I purchased a Sharp Aquos LCD because of this video and I'm very happy because I don't have any input lag when I play Brawl. Oh and yes, I have my Wii connected with the superior component cables as that allows me to play in progressive scan and in 16:9 widescreen. BTW, my N64 era Virtual Console games look and play great that way too.
