Your in Denial if you are not just a little dissapointed with Wii graphics

Disappointed implies that your hopes were up and you were let down.  That's impossible since the Wii's graphics were always known to be less than that of the other 2.TimeToPartyHard

thats not the only dissapointment, when the wiimote was revealed we saw the capacities and speculated to hell what could be possible, real motions on games!!! REVOLUTIONARY!!!!

instead we got zelda, you slash the wiimote in whatever way and link swings the same all the time, THATS the bigger disappointment

Any port that is scaled back always looks worse, that's just a fact of gaming.  And while it is in fact more powerful than the xbox, the developers aren't putting in the time to make the games look too much better.  The fact is, that from here on out, unless you make a jump in graphical capabilities, your efforts will go largely unnoticed.  That is why Nintendo didn't bother going crazy with graphics.  Eventually, it'll hardly matter and will be so difficult to program that you'll get about 3 games a month, and no independant developer will be able to afford to make games, not to mention the larger companies that have a game that tanks.

nintendo should shove it into their heads

GOOD GAMEPLAY IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR BAD GRAPHICS!!!!!! 

and i cant stand sheep fanboys saying in a relaxed and calm way "naaaah.......wii graphics are fine"  THEY ARE NOT FINE AT ALL DAMN IT!!!!

Bad graphics, as you choose to describe them, can easily be compensated for by brilliant gameplay.   Fire Emblem on the GBA is a series of 2D sprites and maps, all with comparatively horrible graphics, but it is still an amazing game.   The strategic method of gameplay and the involving storyline means the graphics are negligible.

You do know that TP is a Gamecube port?   Obviously the motion controls aren't going to be the focal point of the game.

The bad graphics on Wii games now is a result of lazy developers, not weak hardware.   Developers thought the Wii would fail miserably and then suddenly had to rush games to get them released for the Wii when they realized it would be a huge success.  

just for an assumption

do you guys think that Wii is capable of running games like God of War 2 and Ninja Gaiden Black  ??

Don't get it wrong.  That is what it's capable of.  When a developer will take full advantage of it, that is another question.

You have to understand that the Wii is for Kiddies and Casuals,

They don't care about graphics,

Just give them gimmick controllers to wiggle around while they play,

and they'll wet their pants.

im more dissapointed with what the developers are doing

the only thing i'd say they botched graphics wise (other than not competing) was the lack of shader support

doesnt mean games cant use shaders or bumpmapping though.. look at konami's dewy's adventure... i doubt this game will cost anything near what redsteel cost ubisoft, and yet it looks better despite the different style

 same for project island z... capcom is doing a wonderful job working with what they have

but theres also very few games trying a truly realistic style that isn't related to the anime look.. so it's pretty hard to judge and compare ... prime3 will probably be the first decently made scifi realistic game to expect

When I'm playing I don't notice the graphics at all..... neither do the friends that I invite over, friends that have PS3s and 360s.

I do sometimes wonder how awsome Mario, or Zelda would have looked with super powerful hardware, but then I play Wii Sports and forget about it.

Everyone that bought a Wii is disappointed with it's graphics but, to be honest, if you bought the Wii for graphics you aren't a very smart personmighty_shark

I am...because devs suck ass right now. But then I look at SMG videos and I know what the Wii is capable of. And remember the videos we've seen arent even from the final version of the game.

remember that this kind of crappy grpahics only happens at the beginning e.g.

Wii - red steel, gams will get better look at galazy and metroid

ps3 - FEAR - look, font know how they messed that up

360 - GUN , no further comment needed.

Except RE4 Wii edition, presumably. 

[QUOTE="PowerCharged"]the wii having horrid graphics is not the problem, its the fact that psp games look better than it.chronoblazer

Umm...NO!! Are you guys blind. The PSP has graphics that look like the PS1. I'm tired of this stuff. If the Wii is twice as powerful as the Gamecube and Gamecube had titles that looked consideribly better than Ps2 and as good as Xbox, HOW CAN THE WII LOOK WORSE THAN THE XBOX OR PSP. You people LACK intellegence!!!

tell that to alien syndrome, mdal of honor, pirates of the carribean,

Syphon Filter is probably the best example of the PSP`s power. 

I'm a little dissapointed in some of the software efforts to date.

I am extremely satisfied with the hardware.  In terms of the relation between physical size, retail price and graphical output, it's pretty unmatched.

the graphics of the wii are very dissapointing in this day and age when you can have great looking games with very lifelike graphics!daveg1

That is exactly why Wii's games are hiding behind cartoon-like graphics. Or maybe I'm wrong and the fanbase are actually younger than I have thought.
