[QUOTE="MaTT2011"]This thread is drowning in stupidity......like some kind of quicksand; the more you struggle against it the more it sucks you in and drowns you in its coarse, annoying stupidity. Its disheartening to see such a massive amount of graphics whores patting eachother on the backs saying, "lol we are so right! gaming IS all about graphics! lets go spend more money!" fools.coonana

the sad truth is that graphics are a big selling point (maybe the ONLY selling point) for many

exactly,the wii is a fad but when people realize wii can't handle the next gen games,it will be a sad day for nintendo =(

What annoys me is the fact that this little fad is outselling other consoles while these other companies spend time and massive amounts of resources all to be beat out by a sub par system. I wouldnt mind the Wii being bought as a secondary console for a "different" approach, which I thought thats what Nintendo was doing. Pawning this Next Gen Price Tag on a Not So Next Gen system is pathetic.

next gen price tag? the thing only costs $250 :?

And Ill buy an X 360 for 300.

50 dollars more and I get actual graphics. (Of course minimal requirements, but still on a different level altogether)

Ya but as many people who like the 360 there are alot of others who dont like it and see Wii as much more valuable and the core system is foolish to get anyway.

still it can plays games. wii can't play next gen games =(

Wait, so you're saying that Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy are all Gamecube games? Wow, that's like saying a holocaust survivor is a POW from the Civil War.

Thats not even the point. Wii can play next gen games. MK8 is a next gen game on PS3 and 360 and its coming to Wii.

Frankly, would you EVER buy a Wii version of any multiplatform game ? I would not even think about it, imagine Assasins Creed in ...Wii laughable graphics, with no AA, shadows, HD, lighting etc, would make me vomit at th very sight of it

There are some I would buy for Wii some I would buy for 360, others for PS3. Whatever I see has the best advantage. Besides that the fact that it is on there or may be on there is good for those who dont have a 360 and PS3 and dont one but want specific games.

Like The Godfather is better on Wii hands down. Even though graphics are teh shinyzzzz!!!! It is the best version. It has the most missions, best controls, and it has the third best graphics. A prime example of when graphics lose over gameplay.

So YES I would buy some if the overall game is better as is the case with The Godfather and probabaly will with MK8.

The main with fads such as The Nintendo Wii, DS, and even IPODs and Macs and other such products that perform the bare minimum and are successful is that it lowers incentives for other companies to be as technologically advanced as they could be. If their ends arent being justified, this could in fact hinder the following generations, who too will digress from making such technological inquiries and research. If these fads continue to take over the market, you can kiss true NEXT Gen immersive gameplay goodbye. This obviously, is an extremity I am describing, but if you carefully look at this, such markets do have the possibility of slowing down drastically. The problem with handhelds even, for a long time, was that it was passing by with minimum requirements ala Gameboys. This, however changed when other companies started introducing better technological equipment...ala PSP and even Ngage if you remember that contraption. The point is, if the market demand for high level equipment falters over fads, then there WILL BE A SHORTER SUPPLY of such equipment in the future. NOW THIS IS LOOKING AT THE BIGGER PICTURE...and no...I've heard the argument from others already stating that this is just another road to choose from, but this theory is not wholly true. If THIS ROAD CONSEQUENTLY BECOMES THE MORE POPULAR ROAD, THEN MOST COMPANIES WILL DIGRESS....THIS CAN HINDER THE MARKET. So as for the Wii...being the big step backwards that it is, save the controller, I am not happy with it AT ALL!

The gaming market is big enough for all three companies to co-exist.

And, no games like Cooking Mama isn't going to bring the end of gaming as we know it. Seriously, over 400 posts here to say argue whether the Wii is next gen or not? Doesn't anyone here play video games anymore?

I'd be more apt to name this generation: Hex-Gen. They've managed to get every gamer under their spell and then steadily milk the money out of them.

damn, that racing game picture looks worse than Ridge Racer for the PS1. Note that I like RR for PS1, but it's 2 generations ago. That's pretty bad if current gen looks worse.

 I have a 360 and bought the Godfather for the Wii becuase I feel it was the superior version. Chucking people around with the Nunchuk/wiimote is sooo fun!

GT-Pro is actually a cancelled N64 game ported to the Cube in Japan then cell shaded for Wii, awesome. The price of Wii games are definitely a joke, you're just playing last gen games with different controls for the most part. There should be a budget price for the likes of Excite Truck, Godfather and GT-Pro whilst bigger budget games like Galaxy and No More Heroes should stay premium.

Look Im tired of all the haters on Wii lol

Its innovative and thats why people love it

I personally prefer my Ps3 and 360

but I have a blast playing games with my sisters on it once in a while

It's a good change of pace and Im glad Nintendo did it

Because gamers benifit from companys innovating

Hmmm.... so you are judging the Wii's graphical power by looking at cheap ports from other consoles? Also Red Steel was almost completely made on the gamecube so that doesnt show what the Wii can do either. You want good graphics? look at the RE remakes on the gamecube and to think the Wii can do even better...means we have a very bright future for the Wii! Oh and it's more next gen then both the PS3 and the Xbox 360...they improved graphics and power!!! Wow, not. Nothing new here but bigger and more pretty but the Wii has controls never seen on a console before. NEW GAMEPLAY!!! If you dont see that as next gen then you are crazy

:| This subject has been battered to deah. Mainly because good points have been brought up and many ignore them(palaric8 especially). So I thought I'd shed some light about the Wii being 'last gen' to you. 1 - It was released after its predecessor with improved tech. That must mean it's 'last gen.' 2 - Nintendo specifically stated the WIi isn't mean't to be a graphical powerhouse as to the competition. They decided to go with a different approach which actually holds alot of potential in the Wiimote. Something never seen in mainstream VGs (Aside Gyro mouses, though rarely heard of or used). Still, that must make it 'last gen.' With all that said here's something for those dubbed graphics whores to digest...

Ubisoft might be lazy,but this is an insult to gamers. =(

palaric8
Even I have to laugh at those pics. The insult actually comes from looking at the GC screens. :P With this pic in mind, let me re-introduce you to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 for the GC, which in all honesty looks better that that SC: DA pic a ten fold. Now who's fault is that a dubbed 'next-gen' game is beaten by a game released 'last gen'? Heck, the game was there for the LAUNCH of the GC... I believe this can answer it

Arn't three of those games ports?

Anyways yea those Developers suck at making games

Don't blame the console, blame the devs

Well most games look like absolute poop.

Luckely there is MG and SSBB to make me believe the Wii has a good future in having reasonably good graphics.

Well PS3 will have terrible online. But some games arent very good on Wii for multiplat while others like Spider-Man 3 and The Godfather are better on Wii. It just depends if the devs give it as much time as they did the 360 and PS3 versions.

So yes I will buy multiplats on Wii.

Wii doesnt have shaders. But they can still be programmed with the games.

The Wii is more powerful than the Xbox.
