[QUOTE="awakeningland"]Can you get new wiis that play gamecube games or do you have to buy second hand?WreckEm711

No new Wii's are backwards compatible, you have to get a used one for that. Given the disc drive issues some Wii's can have, I would recommend buying a new one under warranty and buying a really cheap Gamecube online:

Yes, they are. I don't know who came up with this crap "graphics are not important" but they are wrong. Graphics have and always will be important. Not the tech behind them, sure, but certainly they have to actually be at least visually appealing and attractive to a minimum level, and this minimum level is higher as the underlying tech evolves and the art direction in games matures.

[QUOTE="awakeningland"][QUOTE="amaneuvering"] It's not the size of the actual video I'm on about but the actual resolution of the textures as they appear on the geometry. It looks like they've taken really small texture maps/images, say 32x32 pixels, and stretched them over a large surface, then maybe tried to fix it slightly by smoothing everything (see blurring), to the point that they look really stretched and blurry or something. Kinda like you might have seen on the N64 many years ago, but somehow it seems even worse here. It just looks wrong and fugly.

To me it looks like they've maybe stretched really small textures over large geometry areas so everything looks really blurry

I don't get it, if you're bored with current consoles why would you settle for a PS3/360 then? You sound like you won't enjoy any of them since you're a big PC gamer?

Nintendo always holds things close to their chest. This isn't anything new. Just go enjoy something else for a few months and when the Wii U comes out maybe it'll get your attention again. Just because they don't get your attention 6 months before release doesn't mean they won't later.
