Hello. I'm getting a Diamond Multimedia VC500 capture card, used by NintendoCapriSun, it can get up to 480p, which is fine by me, considering I won't be recording off an HDTV anyway. I just wanted your opinion, is 480p good for recording Nintendo games, such as Twilight Princess, Super Mario Sunshine, ect?
Is 480p good quality for recording Nintendo games?

Yes, it's good for older games. It won't look great for Wii U games and such though.

Anything above it doesn't really make a difference for older games, so it should be fine. I have the VC500, and while it's great for people who just want to record cheap, I wouldn't suggest it in the long run. I've had a lot of problems with mine. I'll be getting an El Gato soon.
480p is the highest standard definition that you can get. It's great for games pre-Wii U! If you boost the resolution any more, it gets all grainy and what not trying to make it look better. It's like trying to play N64 on a 61" HDTV. (It's really hard to do)
