True; Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 3, Jett Rocket, FAST Racing League, Red Steel 2, Metroid Other M, Donkey Kong Country Returns... makes you wonder what those devs could have achieved detail wise at 30fps.

Thanks for sharing the info! Yes, Xenoblade looks beautiful. It's sad that many devs didn't use its full potential.

No worries. :)

Yeah, it's one of the most underused of all major consoles. I truly believe it was never maxed out graphically, as no game on it showed the same level of improvemment over the Gamecube Rogue Squadron games as Metroid Prime 3 did over Prime 1 and 2.

Funny that you mention these two games :D ! It´s amazing that Shinen is able to achieve some of the best visuals on the Wii(with the 40mb WiiWare limit), it really puts other big publishers to shame if you keep in mind that they are a tiny developer with only around 4 people ....and one of them is only responsible for the soundtrack :D !

Yeah, Shin'en are technical wizards, I really admire their work.

In addition to their Wii efforts, they managed to squeeze this out of the Gameboy Advance:

And this out of the 3DS: (At 60fps)

 

And since this is a Wii U thread, here's their Wii U game Nano Assault Neo: (60fps also)



I think Mario 3D and X will push the system. Xenoblade and Mario Galaxay were visually very impressive on Wii, so my expectations are very high for the Wii U games from those teams. I think those games, when shown at e3, will make people go 'wow'.

As has been said though, there are some great looking games already. That one seen above in Zombi U is excellent.



Not sure. Hopefully someone will make a beautiful RPG.

Maybe a multiplat could take the crown too. Watch_Dogs wil look good, I'm curious at which level the Wii U version will stand and compare to PS3 and PS4 versions.
