I still say Pikmin 3 is the best looking game on the Wii U in my book

X maybe (though it's very inconsistent), but not B2. I really don't get the fuss around its visuals... It has a great sense of scale, and of course runs at 60fps, but outside of that i find it incredibly underwhelming :/ I thought the same thing when the original came out.

Overall i'd probably put Zelda U above both. Based on what we've seen it's easily the most technical impressive game on the WiiU (for what that's worth), and also has Nintendo's art direction behind it. Not much to complain about there.

If we're talking about "wow factor" here, then none of these games impress anyone who has gamed on PC/PS360 over the last generation.

The last games on a Nintendo console to truly blow gamers away visually were the likes of Rogue Squadron II, Melee, Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX and RE4, all on the GC. Mario Galaxy on the Wii was impressive, but did not have that initial wow factor. And nothing on the Wii U save for the Zelda E3 tech demo and initial unveil has come close to being impressive visually.

But Xenoblade IS a Nintendo game...
What the hell people?

Yeah... no. These games look "alright" at best. I mean, I don't care at all about graphics (trust me I'm mainly a handheld gamer XD), but I've seen games from last Gen that look superior than what Bayonetta and especially X has to offer. The only Nintendo game that really impressed me was the Wii U Zelda, it'll outlive most current Gen games anyway given its art style.

Yeah, the game looks great, theres a lot going on and the sequence of the city being destroyed was very impressive, but I still don't consider the general visuals to have any considerable wow factor. Although I'm sure its not as technically demanding Mario steals it for me. The bloom/Lighting gives it a next gen look, the pixel perfect character models and flawless textures >>> X/Beyonetta

But Xenoblade X is a first-party title xD

Ugh.. double post. Sorry -_-

x looks like it could be a good game, but I don't understand why people think it looks so good visually. To me it looks very similar to the newer final fantasies graphically. Bayonetta 2 looks way better than the original, but I don't think either one looks better than most naughty dog products. Donkey kong country looks a lot better in my opinion as well. Don't get me wrong, both games look really good, but I don't think they're anywhere near what the best visual titles for wii-u will be. Can't wait for their releases.

Xenoblade doesn't look that impressive. Neither does Bayonetta. Mario Kart 8 is where it's at
