I still disagree with this. Saying it looks like an early 360 game is a disservice to the game technical prowess and beautiful execution of its’ art style. It could compete with many games out on the 360 and ps3. Maybe not for the amount of current tech used, but in how the final product looks.

Isn’t that what graphics are all about, how the final product looks? Galaxy looks better than most games I’ve ever played or seen. It also has a great soundtrack, something many games still take for granted. I wish music was given as much attention as a Factor 5 engine.

I think Mario Galaxy looks better than, say, Superman Returns on the 360 or that canceled Frame City Killer game. Simply put, sure Mario Galaxy would looks far sharper, cleaner, etc. if the Wii had similar power like those of competing systems, but more power automatically makes a game look good. At most it’ll look sharper on an HDTV, but then without effort put in, it could be just as poor looking as Half-Life (the original) maxed out on the PC in today’s age. I think there’s this sloppy looking 2D RPG coming out on the PS3 too. To dismiss the Wii in a “why bother” category simply because it’s “weaker” is just a cop-out.

I took it one step further 50″ plasma with surround. The first games I wanted to try out on my new TV was Manhunt 2, Mario Galaxy, and Metroid 3 and they all look amazing! Obviously Mario is visually the most amazing out of them all with Metroid close behind. The Simpsons game (which is hurting visually) looks much better coming out of the component and actually makes it acceptable, no weird stretching which the composite had. I was using composite for a while with Wii on my 32″ LCD. I recently bought a 50″ plasma (Just for gaming,) and I hooked up the component, what a difference. I totally believe in Plasmas and gaming, with anti ghosting etc there will not be a problem.

Yeah, seriously, if you want graphics get a PC, quit complaining about the wii not looking as good, it is not designed to, because graphics is not all that matters. Hey, quick fact, did you know nintendo actually makes money on the wii, and it is still sold out and in very high demand? Nintendo is smart like that, they want to make money, I would rather play games on my wii than any other system I own, including the two 360s owned by my roomates as well as the PS3 at school that no one even plays.

I can’t believe how much people on this site are going on about how great their stuff looks. “Man, SMG looks so great on my TV” “Man, Xbox 360 looks so much better”. Compensating abit?

Oh my God you mean my game on my 250 dollar Wii doesnt look the same as my game on a 479 to 600 dollar Console. No s*** Sherlock from the beginning Big N said they were not directly competing i.e. graphically. Stop with the Wii game just don’t look as good as the other next gen graphics. You know what the other control schemes just aren’t next gen enough for me the Wii’s are thats whats next gen. Usually controls change how you play games not graphics analog stick introduction more buttons on a controller, RUMBLE! anyone, anyone exactly my point.

I owned a 360 and currently own a wii. Note that I “owend” a 360! I traded that POS in because there were hardly any games on it that I wanted to play. It was like 2 games a year that came out that were worth anything!

I have an HDTV and at first purchased cross platform games that came out on wii and 360 for the 360 because “the graphics where better”. Long story short, almost every cross platform game that I played, played BETTER on the wii. Game play with (good) visuals is all thats needed to enjoy a game. Hell who of us out there hasn’t played Zelda link to the past, Super Metroid etc now and still loved it! Those aren’t HD, yet they look good enough for you to enjoy the game! Game journalists and the gaming industry as a whole have pushed visuals first game play second in our faces for so long that we get our first impression from a game straight off of screen shots! If it looks bad, you don’t want to play it as much.

The Wii has proven that graphics should be secondary to game play, graphics are important just not as important as game play! SMG is AWESOME. It looks great, or should I say good enough coupled with the game play to pull you in and make you enjoy the experience they are creating for you.

I now only own a wii for the fact that they are the only ones that are pushing the industry and giving us new experiences like they have done so in the past! Until 360 or ps3 show us something new other then better graphics, more power etc. I’m sticking with nintendo! Rock on Mario!
