I chose Galaxy 2, but Skyward Sword should be on the list as well.

Why i left PC gaming

Racism?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I don't know why the Galaxy games are listed separately. They both look the same to me. So I voted for Galaxy 2 in your poll. Skyward Sword should be on the list. Why isn't it on the list? I played that game on a 56 inch 3DTV, and used the TV's "convert 2d to 3d" mode, which basically upped the resolution more than it actually converted 2D to 3D. For sprite based games (or cartoons like the flintstones), the TV would split the image into layers and you could literally see the foreground, mid ground and background as separate layers. But for Skyward Sword, the TV made the game look like it was HD.
I know that's just my own experience, but even without that, Skyward Sword should at least have been on the list.

Quite simply, Skyward Sword was a victim of the fact that I started with over 20 candidates and had to narrow it down to fit within VGChartz's poll limits.

I think you're right about the Galaxy games though, in retrospect I should have combined them as one option, thus freeing up more room.

Galaxy and Xenoblade were the two titles that made me very sad the Wii wasn't capable of HD.

Fragile Dreams is a work of art.

The Last Story has arguably the best "realistic" graphics on the system.

Sonic Colors did 2D/3D RIGHT.

Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing has tons of details in every single track, and the frame rate is steady as a rock.

The No More Heroes games are so stylish! They look great in motion.

MadWorld is also very stylish, game looks great.

Monster Hunter Tri looks and sounds gorgeous.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers is outstanding, although the faces are a bit off... Everything else is gorgeous, so many environments that are full of detail.

The Galaxy games, this really isn't a competition. Although, Skyward Sword is a pretty nice looking game.



I'm now filled with determination.

In the face of Galaxy 2's overwhelming dominance, it makes me happy to see Metroid Prime 3 putting up a good fight in the poll.

Glad I'm not the only one to appreciate its beauty.

Few games so effectively convey alien cultures through the design of their machinery and architecture, while even in the face of underpowered hardware Retro pushed the Wii's silicon valiantly, delivering loads of geometry and particles at a fluid 60fps.

Red Steel 2 is underrated for its visuals. I kind of hope Nintendo will work to get it eventually put on VC, not enough people got the chance to play it although with normal controls it will kind of lose the luster of what made it unique. .



ARamdomGamer on 01 February 2016

Either the Galaxy games, Endless Ocean or Prime 3 for me.

Other games I love how they look would be Epic Yarn, Muramasa, Red Steel 2, Sonic Colors, Wario Land and Okami.
