How to Play a Nintendo Wii Through a PC

The Nintendo Wii, as a seventh-generation console, is capable of displaying games at high-definition resolutions. In some cases, the monitor of a PC is more capable of displaying this resolution than a television screen. Fortunately, there are cables available on the market that can convert the signal sent by the Wii into a VGA signal, which is the standard input signal for PC monitors.
