It looks so lifelike and beautiful. How was Nintendo able to pump so much out of the Wii hardware? Amazing. Simply amazing! :D

Edit: Here's a video. It's really the only way to experience the beauty. :P

At 1:30, o.k., guys. :D

You should post a picture. But yeah I agree the game looks amazing. It might have something to do with the fact that Galaxy runs at 30 FPS. Not sure though. I'm not too techy about that stuff :P.

Oh I see. Just wondering though, if a game is set to 30 FPS, does that mean it could have better graphical capabilities than a game set to 60 FPS? Or does that have nothing to do with it?

This game shows off what the Wii is capable of. Third-party developers should be held to these standards, yet they keep pumping out shovelware that looks like five-year old PC games. The worst thing is you guys keep praising the Wii saying you don't care for graphics. As a result, developers have no incentive to push the graphics on their games.

This is the Wii. We all know it's not going to give us 360- or PS3-graphics, but the graphics need to be as good as the Wii's potential. We see that in Super Mario Galaxy, but the next third-party game is going to look like trash. Will you maintain your blind loyalty to Nintendo and continue to preach how gameplay is more important than graphics? You can have BOTH, as demonstrated with this megahit just a week away.

One of the Gamecube's noted strongpoints was in producing water/fluid effects. Obviously the Wii is going to be just a little bit better still.

Sunshine had great water effects, so I'm not surprised Galaxy's is excellent as well.

Transparency effects are one of a set of pre-defined effects on the Wii's graphics chip that it can handle automatically with little or no effort. It was the same with the Gamecube, which is why the water in Sunshine looks so good (as well as in various other Nintendo games) and why the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion look so suitibly incorporeal.

Yeah, the water looks amazing. Have you seen the Bee world video? The Queen Bee's fur looks so realistic.

To be honest, yes it looks beautiful in these picures and videos on our computer screens, but i can't wait for us to be able to see it up close on our home t.vs. It's going to be FANTASTICAL.

dont make me out to be a nintendo hater.....because i love nintendo i really do, but the water REALLY does look like pikmin 2 or mario sunshine. that doesnt mean it isnt good water, it just isnt amazing setting a new bar for gaming and such. the wii definitley isnt a graphical powerhouse, so the graphics need to be extremely stylized instead of realistic. now with a game like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the water looks real because they are going for real, whereas Mario looks Mario, which is still okay!

Don't bring up games on other systems and compare them to the Wii. It can start pointless arguments.
