I don't know why but I can't stand jaggies. Even in Crysis a game which is perfect without AA I just had to put it on because it just looks horrible ( the jaggies) imo. Even my favourite game on the wii, Twilight princess suffers from this problem. Dx11 uses a technology ( the name escapes me at the moment) with rounds off pixels with no preformance hit and i heard that developers are able to program in different shapes other than triangles. I play my PC games ( + my 360 and PS3) at 1920*1080 vs the wii's 640*480.

Best TP pic I could find

Proof for me owning a wii (before I got my new tv)

You own a yellow 360. That might be worse than jaggies. :P

Honestly, I don't know how you survived during previous gens if you don't like jaggies.

I can't believe you just made a thread about Wii having inferior graphics to the PC, PS3, and 360. We know!

Twilight has terrible graphics. Try out some of the better looking games and you'll see far fewer jaggies.

TP is also, you know, a gamecube game. It's always good to measure a systems graphical capabilities by using a game ported from a last gen system

Some people are right, playing the right games will show you that the wii has some games really worth playing.

Both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl lack the jaggies that you speak of. There's other games you could try out for losing the "jaggies" but I can't name them off the top of my head either. If you have my taste in games, I really reccomend madworld and Super Paper Mario (most didn't like the latter game, but I found it to be a lot of fun).

It should be obvious that a game like this shouldn't be stretched on an HDTV expecting perfect quality with no jaggies. Also to be fair this is a GC game and one of the best looking ones from last gen at that

That's his old TV. And yes, playing Wii games on an HDTV is a pain. Twilight Princess looks good, but stretching it out like that does it no favors.

They always look fine to me. On both my 19" and 52". Then again I never really look too hard.

Wii games on HDTV looks even worst (if you hate jaggies like me lol). Wii has the most of them cuz its a last gen console but 360/ps3 has a lot of them aswell looks at BF:1943/PDZ/PGR3 or Mass Effect and many many more the only games on 360 that looks almost sharp are RE5 and Gears 2.

Well, I can certainly notice it on my 26". Maybe I'm sitting too close to the screen.

I get the same image quality. But for me it's less than the IGN image, but I can still see the jaggies. It's no biggie though, because I don't think about it so much, and you can't really notice while the game is in motion. SMG even has jaggies, but once you get moving and start jumping from place to place, it looks a lot better. Try playing Madworld. Doesn't even support 480p.

That's nothing...try popping in the PSone version of Resident Evil or Tomb Raider, and tell me you don't appreciate the Wii's graphics :P Point is, while those games look awful compared to this gen, I'm still having a blast playing through them ;)

The graphics of most Wii games are fine. It's just that I'd like to play them at proper resolutions.

This is my problem with all current gen games although some 360 and ps3 games don't suffer from it so badly. This is also a problem I have with the Wii, but rather not discuss it because I don't want to be called a fanboy.

That TV doesn't look very big or HD at all. The jaggies shouldn't be THAT bad!

If that's it, then don't be surprised when I'm not exactly sympathetic.

I don't understand why Nintendo didn't put some sort of AA in the Wii, i mean the Dreamcast has less jaggies. It would actually make Wii games look ALOT better and i'm sure it would have been cheap to implement
