My Wii is set up to a 32" tube TV via a component (interlaced) connection using the same Nintendo cable. On my set, Donkey Kong Country looks (and sounds) better on the Wii's VC than playing the SNES cartridge on the same TV. Ditto for Super Metroid and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

I have only had my Wii for a couple of weeks now, but I think the Virtual Console is the "bee's knees!" I am very much into old school gaming and to be able to play perfect NES, SNES, Neo-Geo, Genesis, Sega Master System, Turbo Graphix 16, Nintendo 64, (and soon) Commodore 64 game classics, along with standard GameCube discs and new Wii titles all out of one box, is the gaming deal of the decade IMO!

There is nothing "high-def" about these VC classics... But of the ones I have played so far, they are completely faithful and appear to be exact replicas of the originals.
