Using compressed video to make a judgement on a game probably isn't the best choice.

It's a shame. Especially when you look at the huge graphical advancement of Brawl vs. Melee.

no just no, the wii verison is better looking but sadly only just a litte bit better. its more colorful and has good use of bloom effects but it could have and should have had alot more detail to the karts, characters, and environments but mario kart was never really about graphics but was all about just sheer multiplayer fun.

They look similar, but MK:Wii has the edge from the superior lighting. It also renders more players and their A.I.

But, essentially we're splitting hairs here, as it dosen't matter all that much, you'll appreciate the smooth online and high framerate, it's easy to look past the visuals.

I honestly didn't see that much of a difference in the both of them, For the people saying GC looks better I don't exactly see that. They both look very similar except for the lighting looks better on the Wii.

nor do i, the only advantage the wii has over it is the color and better lighting but other than that they look almost the same

heres a comparison video if no ones seen it. but remember the clips of mkwii are maybe a little old and unfinished, while the mkdd is finished. but even if mkwii was finished at the time of the video, it certainly doesnt look worse. there seems to be a tiny bit more goin on on-screen. and the kart itself, especially the tires, looks better than mkdd.

First of all it does not look worse, iduno why people are saying this, they look almost exactly the same, and obviously the Wii's hardware is not the best ever but it is stronger then any last gen. Look at SMG SSBB MP3 if you want to see this. It's just Mario Kart games never did look that good, but they never were about graphics so it don't matter.
Edit: If you want to get nit picky about graphics, I can say that MK:Wii Has better lighting.

gametrailers did a comparison once between super mario sunshine and SMG....

everyone and their grandmother knows that SMG looks worlds better than SMS...but judging by the video comparison they made seem like it only looked better by a small margin.

Looks the same because they are the same rack they are comparing.

The old track is supposed to look the same for fan service.

Try comparing a new track.

Really wow, I saw a big difference. The Gamecube version looks better. I couldn't believe it when watching that video. I can't believe Nintendo decided to take a step backwards in the graphics. I will admit the Wii version looks more fun, but the Gamecube version looks a lot better. I can't believe you don't see the difference when it is so clear to me.

A widescreen is a higher resolution than normal because it needs more pixels.

A widescreen is a higher resolution than normal because it needs more pixels.

in other words mario kart wii was stretched while double dash was compressed.

Thus making double dash look clearer.

Besides...if you compare the newer tracks to the older tracks mario kart wii wins by a reasonable margin.

Mostly due to lighting effects.
