Im not touching this one with a 70 foot barge pole
I think they lack the motivation to really push the hardware to the limits. Why spend so much effort making say, The Conduit, for Wii when any garden variety HD game will look better? The Xbox was a very powerful piece of hardware comparably, and people wanted to show it off; the Wii is not.
"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
I don't think any developers think there is a big demand for visually spectacular Wii games. I'm all for it though. 
Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

| RolStoppable said: Developers are lazy and that's the sole reason why the majority of Wii games don't look good. The Wii hardware is very efficient, after all it's a Gamecube on steroids. The Gamecube launch title Rogue Leader was programmed in roughly one year and remained one of the best looking games on the system. This also means it looks better than pretty much everything third parties have released on the Wii so far. |
Wow, good one! It seems you're in top shape tonight Mr. Stoppable. ;)
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
Burger kind of nailed it on the head. The wii is so far behind graphically compared to the other systems nobody feels any need to push it technologically. If they are going to make a game that appeals, trying to appeal graphically just isn't going to work when right next to it is something that makes it look ancient. Even the conduit which will probably be technologically the most advanced game on the wii isn't going to look anywhere near as good as even games like Resistance or the original gears of war. The games that have sold well on wii are graphical powerhouses by far and large. So why would they? It's not to show off, if you have a wii then you obviously didn't go for a graphically powerful system, and it's shown that games don't have to be graphically amazing to succeed.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

The problem is the system is more powerful (by far) than any last gen game, but the devs aren't even nudging (forget pushing) graphics to last gen standards.
Where I would expect the Wii to shine is in art design as a way to get around limitations. Games like Okami, No More Heroes, and Mad World do it, but I would expect more (see also Braid for 360 DLC, one of the more beautiful games I've seen this gen).
