Mario Kart Wii vs. Double Dash graphics

I've seen countless of people here on the Wii boards and on System Wars say that the Wii version of Mario Kart looks worse then the one that came out for the GameCube.
Now I played Double Dash today for a few hours again, and after watching this videos I can't honestly see how people can say that.
The Wii version looks SO much better then Double Dash... bigger environments, more detail, smoother driving, better textures and a bloom filter.

Anyone feel the same way?

Why should I care what people say about the graphics? I don't care if the graphics go back to the N64 game, as long as I get new tracks and plenty of things to keep me busy, including online play, I'm happy.ozzsoad

Same for me

The MODELS in Double Dash are better and the lighting causes blur of the background. Bad Shading/Shadowingof the backgrounds and jaggies in the models problems on the wii that double dash on the GCdoesn't have. The stages in double dash that actually got into Mario Kart Wii did not show the best graphics so MKWii matching those does nothing. Wario Colleseum, Daisy Cruiser, Bowers' Castle, and Sherbert Land are the best graphical stages.

I love the Mario Kart Wii graphics. I don't find them boring, and they make the whole experience more fun!

Double Dash looks worse cause its a gamcube game while wii is a wii game. But Double Dash is uncomparible better than Wii

Both games are playable on the Wii, so it's no contest.

lets compare

Let's compare some more

Mario kart wii is better looking for sure, but it's not by as much a one might've expected

I like how you used 480p for only the wii images. LOL

Worse Models, textures, lighting and particle effects in MKWii

I think the Wii graphics are slightly better. But only slightly. People say things like Double Dash looks better just because they were expecting a huge improvement in graphics because of the jump to the next gen console; and it certainly wasn't a huge jump.

Mario Kart Wii looks better, but Double Dash is way more fun IMO. I happen to think DD is the best in the series, and don't understand why people didn't like it.

LOL at the use of low quality gamecube pics. You do know that the game is 480p right? There's more in the background of Wario Colleseum than in Wario's stage on the Wii. In Bowser's Castleon the gamecube the Lava's more defined and it has better water thanWii stages in the moats. AsI said before the lighting in Wii stagesmakes the game blurry as thecharacter model shadingis notdonecorrectly even for the low poly models.Moreover, theretrostages didn't improveenough from theolder versions they still look bad compared to the rest. The graphics are not as good as the gamecube version overall

That's a logical improvement, it wouldn't be worse, the problem is that people were expecting more, so they exaggerate..... Even so, Double Dash had way better graphics than the N64 one, but was worse overall, nevertheless....I'd rather wait the game to say anything....Junior_AIN
