Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What will be the first Wii U game to show off its true graphical capabilities?

Something first party - Either what Retro Studios is making or Pikmin 3
Something third party - If Mistwalker ever makes another Nintendo exclusive, I have no doubt it will look incredible



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

Project X, I hope, is just the tip of the iceberg. We can usually expect much from 3D Mario. :)

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

The E3 2011 Zelda demo and Monolith Soft's X look head and shoulders above anything else we've seen for Wii U so far.

Ultimately, however, consoles usually take 3 years or more before their best looking games come out, so we probably won't see the Wii U's "true graphical capabilities" until 2015 or later.

I'm going to go with whatever Retro is working on.

Mario will look amazing but I have no doubt the techies will be saying, "Oh the lighting is really simple, the physics are really basic, the enemy AI is nonexistent..." All of that will likely be true, but it'll still look fantastic.

I doubt Nintendo is putting enough effort into Wind Waker to make it look like an exceptional HD game. I don't think it'll push the hardware, just look very very nice.



I hope that there will be at least one game! Look at Wii: many games looked worse than games on gamecube.
Were there any games that came out for Wii which weren't possible on gc? Mario Galaxy perhaps?

Bummer..

Aren't you guys forgetting Pikmin 3? It comes out in August and I think it will look really nice.

Pikmin 3 does look nice, but from a technical point of view it doesn't look all that advanced. It began as a Wii game, so it's fairly simple in design.

Dat and prolly Skyward Sword,Xenoblade.

Fairly sure Nintendo didn't even max out the cube. They were too busy trying to fit data onto 1.5 gig discs. That was the bottleneck.
