Loyal Nintendo fans haven't cared about specs since the end of the GameCube era. Either that, or they still care, but not to the degree that they're willing to forgo first-party Nintendo games simply because of the low horsepower of the machines.

I'm in the first camp. I just haven't cared about specs since the GameCube, since that was the last system they made to be competitive on a technical level with other companies' high-end machines.

Nintendo tends to be approximately one generation behind in horsepower compared to their competitors, but I'm completely fine with that. 3DS games look great, I don't care about the low resolution. You don't even notice it after a while. Wii U games look as good as anything coming out on 360 or PS3.

Who cares about graphics? 95% of the mass market doesn't know about technical specs of game consoles, and furthermore they don't care. They buy based on the attractiveness of the software and the determinable quality of the games. Games and whether or not they're good, that is all that really matters.

Doing it once in their history can hardly be called " tends to".

like i said in the other thread, Nintendo has a knack for making games look and play amazingly even on limited hardware, thanks to their unique art styles and gameplay, which also happen to greatly affect the games' chances of withstanding the test of time.

i mean look at this!

pretty good for some "underpowered 6th gen equilivant" hardware, don't you think?

Nah, that just seems impressive to you because of your low standards, which comes from having the Wii as your primary console. 

Moderated,

Not necesssarily correct at all. I've had a 360 for longer than I've had a Wii but Metroid Prime 3 is still more impressive to me than most 360 games.

No, Metroid is not more graphically impressive than most 360 games. That statement is factually incorrect

Judging by your post history and your profile, as well as your currently playing list, that doesnt seem to be the case at all

"Impressive" is not a factual matter. It means refers to how much something impresses someone. And Metroid Prime 3 impresses me more than most 360 games.
