I don't think so.  Doesn't the system also have less ram?  I remember the original xbox has 64MB of ram.  Doesn't the wii boast like 40MB or something along those lines?  Will we ever see great looking games like Ninja Gaiden, Splinter Cell, or Conkers from the original xbox.  Nintendo didn't go this cheap did they?

We will have to wait and see when a game actually made with a Wii dev kit comes out. I would say yes... and probably more so...




Running at 60fps? Mee wantee!

If that is true then I have been owned.  I just dont' understand why we are constantly seeing ports that look worse then ps2 games.  Hell, alot of psp games look better then alot of Wii games.   Just pathetic.  


  Oh and I don't care if graphics don't matter to you.   They matter to me.

It has a lot to do with the lack of actual Wii dev kits being readily available and the lack of time a lot of devs spent on making games for the launch window. The Wii was announced about 6 months before it was released, thus giving nobody any time to react, they just had to get started as soon as possible with what they had. And what did they have? Modified Gamecube development kits.

If you give developers time with the actual Wii development kits you will start seeing a lot of games that look as good as or better than Super Mario Galaxy.

yes it is

prove coming

"As far as the overall look and presentation The Godfather: Blackhand is somewhere between a low and high end Xbox game, as the animations and effects are decent, but still not mind-blowing. The game does manage to create a solid mood with use of tons of voice acting (Marlon Brando's last role as the Godfather, in fact), an amazingly deep story - something that Wii gamers aren't getting much of thus far - and a 16:9, 480p presentation. Add in the ability to tweak Wii pointer sensitivity and practice any of the game's motions in a tutorial menu (similar to SSX Blur) and you've got a game that is just as good, if not slightly better, than its predecessors."

Slot in RE4 into Wii. Does it run well? Is it playable? Does that answer your question?

it's alright.....but....remember when the 360 first came out? Remember what Gun looked like? I mean i loved that game but you couldn't tell the difference between the Original Xbox and 360 if you placed two screens side by side. We'll see Wii games Surpassing RE4 and Ninja Gaiden in terms of graphics in a year from now, just like the 360 with Gears.

Wii is able to go beyond Xbox, going by specs and 1st-2nd party games..

Galaxy, Prime, etc..

Because they're ports.  Developers have two choices for a port, work through the graphics engine all over again to make the game run better on the other system's archtechture, or simply cut it back.  One option takes weeks, the other takes days.  And considering most developers are pretty clueless on how to use the Wii's controls, they'd rather spend time trying to find a good control sceme.

Also, the Wii's specs are all estimated, Nintendo has not released any official specs, although the Wii does supposedly have more RAM than the Xbox.
