Has any Wii game's graphics wowed you???

For me I would have to say yes. Twilight Princess, muddy textures aside, had some moments of graphical glory though more on a scope and an artistic scale. Though, there were moments in SSX Blur that actually wowed me from a technical standpoint. With most Wii games the controls steal the show, but in Blur there were more than a few times that I would forget what I was doing and catch myself watching the game instead of playing it. It was definately pulling off some tricks that my Gamecube could not.

So, which games have impressed you in this way, if any?

Feedback por' favor.

Artistically twilight princess definitely but if your talking about wii games that are out already then Id have to say Red steel looked quite decent when you were in buildings like hotels.

SMG looks damn good but not only that, I was looking at Dewys adventure and that game looks friggin amazing. I cant believe its from the elebits team, if only they made that look like Dewys adventure, that game looks sick. 

Nothing has really "wowed" me. I'm not really expecting any games to on the Wii.

I agree with you, but that's kind of my point. That is why the Wii is so important, the other console's graphics are just not enough to justify "next gen" in my opinion.

Wowed in what sense? I usually get 'wowed' if the game exceeded my expectations for what the power is for the console. At E3 I almost said 'wow' at Galaxy. And yet I said 'wow' at the last level of Excite Truck, I said 'wow' because it suprised me with all tthe fancy particle and reflection/lighting effects it had, and I truly wasn't expecting that from a launch game.

To tell you the truth, nothing on PS3 has made me say wow, because I'm expecting results that exceed 360's efforts.  

In terms of high resolution and big numbers? Thank god no.

In terms of atmosphere and overall design? Hell yes. Check out Super Mario Galaxy's graphics and ask yourself if that doesnt look BETTER then the 360 launch games. I'd say it does.......

Super Mario Galaxy made my eyes pop.

Never seen a Mario game look so good :)

Mario Party 8 looks pretty good too. Dewey's Adventure and that... uh.. whussitcalled... Something Island Project Z or something...

Anyhoo...

I don't think Nintendo has ever made a bad looking Mario game.

Super Mario Galaxy impressed me too, along with Metroid Prime 3 (in some cases)! I highly look forward to both titles...let alone Smash Bros of course.

Last year's build of Prime 3 looked practically identical to Prime 2. There were some slightly flashier effects, and smoother and lighter textures, but that's about it. Thankfully I've heard the latest build has undergone a face-lift.

Brawl looks great too. It might only look like a great-looking Xbox game, but it's understandable with all the frantic gameplay going on.

i think wii sports looks very good ... Really good .... and zelda looks amazing , i dont understand all this fuss about wii graphics

i bought not for it's graphical capabilities, because we all know that it doesn't really hold much of a candle up to the ps3 or 360, for me as long as the graphics aren't so bad that they offend me, i'm ok, unlike many people i know who think a game is good just because the graphics are good

to answer the thread's title, i'd say LOZ: TP surprised me with its graphics, but i wouldn't say they were totally awe-inspiring

I haven't really been wowed by any game this gen.  I think I've more or less given into Nintendo's "graphics don't matter" propoganda.

That being said, if a game looks like crap, then it will bother me.  Just because graphics don't matter as much as they used to doesn't mean that developers should all of a sudden stop trying.

zelda had gamecube graphics but sonic wowed me:Dkazekage1234

Red Steel had me staring at some things on the game... especially some of the lighting, and then it would look terrible in the next second.

Blur looks fantastic. "The Big 3" all have excellent graphics. 

Sonic and the Secret Rings looks pretty nice, and Super Mario Galaxies looks incredible, practically on par with PS3 or 360's games.

What wows me is the difference in graphics in some of the games. My brother was looking for a racing game, and he bought NFSC which had great graphics, but they weren't wow-worthy. I asked him why he didn't get this other racing game I remember scanning past on the shelf, he turned it over to show me some of the screenshots and I had to cover my mouth. Not because I was about to barf, but because I was about to shriek until my teeth shattered. They....were.....terrible.

so if nothing wows u and u dont expect anything to why did you buy a wii ???? you should sell it or just give it to some1 who will appricate it

Wasn't really that impressed with Zelda. My first impression was, "wow, looks like a really good GC game!" (Which I believe was the original intent).

ExciteTruck I was almost wowed on (Currently my #1 favorite Wii game).

Graphically I have high hopes for Metroid. Hopefully it won't look exactly like MP2. And if there is another F-Zero Game, I hope they go apes*** on the graphics.

Two Words:

Night Palace...

Yes, the last level of Sonic and the Secret Rings....

Especially when you flew into the galaxy region of the level...absolutely gorgeous, I was awestruck...

In terms of high resolution and big numbers? Thank god no.
