You know we're chomping at the bit for everything and anything related to the upcoming next-gen hardware launches when we see Wii heavily watermarked photos of composite cables and say out loud "Coooo-UHL".

This is not Nintendo fanboy bias talking either. I had the same reaction when I realized that the PlayStation 3 logo guidelines had been published.

But new photos of Wii anything are exciting. The downside here is that these photos are about as un-"sexy" as they come. No cool lighting, no dramatic angles, drab birch veneer backgrounds—kind of takes some of the shine off.

Make the jump for untreated photos of (in order of increasing boredom) the Wii sensor bar, nunchuk controller, console stand, power supply, and composite cable.

In case you missed it, these photos are courtesy of ChinaGBA. Thanks for the tip, creamsugar! Michael McWhertor
