I don't agree.

I have seen graphical effects in the Conduit that I have seen in games like Left 4 Dead.

I could go into detail, but then this post would be a WALL OF TEXT.

Technical power is irrelevant when nothing else contributes to the overall visuals. Metroid Prime is a superior because of itscombination of tech/art/design.

There are some parts of Prime where the graphics are plain awefull (for example, those boxes that tell you where to scan).

Yeah, those are pretty pixellated lol. Still, it's a minor thing, especially since the scanning itself is actually done well in MP as opposed to The Conduit:P

When games like The Force Unleashed have a story to tell graphics are important when they use in game visuals for the cutsceneshere's a clip from the Wii version

And here's a clip from Resident Evil 4

In my opinion the wii version of TFU had better direction for it's cutscenes and yet they didn't have the resources or budget to pull it off.

Please ganados, dont commit that mistake.Never, ever,post videos of PS2 ports when talking about Wii graphics. Just because the Wii can run PS2 graphics using a fraction of its capabilities doesnt means squat.You know that TFU for the PS2 runs on the Ps3(most models).Yes it can.So its a bit idiotic to say, LOOK ps3 graphics suck,and post a video of TFU(Ps2 version) because it can be played on a compatible PS3.Is not representative. RE4 vs TFU is PS2 vs Cube.Nothing wii related here.

Go play Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime: Corruption.

You have then been shown perfect examples. Welcome to GameSpot.

the wii has decent graphics. sure the ps3 and the xbox 360 have better graphics, but in the end, as long as their decent, i don't care about graphics, gameplay isSO much more important...

I know that Gameplay is more important than graphics.

But when developers don't even try to make games look good, they just use the Wii as an excuse.

Wanna know why Mario Galaxy is my favorate Wii game. Not just because of the flawless gameplay and controls that defines a mario game, but because it looked AMAZING. Not just artistically but technically as well. It surpasses Metroid Prime 3 Corruption big time.

I know graphics and visuals don't matter as much as gameplay but when a game on the Wii looks worse that an early Gamecube for PS2 game when it should look slightly better than a later Xbox (original) game, I'm ganna get a little upset.

Devs are using the Wii as an underpowered system and motion controls to get away with not spending time and money on the visuals. This results in ugly games that should look a little better than Halo 2.

I can't believe you forgot WWE Day Of Reckoning 2. It's graphics are better than the Wii versions of the Smackdown vs Raw series. Its unacceptable for Yukes to not utilize the Wii's full potential.

The ol' graphics debate....the Wii's graphics are fine with me. Superior graphical capabilitiesno longer impress me anymore. It's all about gameplay. Graphics are mearly a plus to me.

Prime look OK. I don't think it's anything special, but not bad for a console game that came out near the turn of the century. There's just something strange and unrealistic about Prime's graphics -- perhaps the color depth is too shallow?
