Way to troll RolStoppable. Glad to see someone is filling GBallZack's shoes.
In any case, I don't think the PS2 argument that someone proposed holds water here. Isn't the argument people make for the Wii is that the tech is easy to use because it is familiar architecture? The PS2 was cutting edge when it came out, not at the end of the generation, but it was when it came out at least by console standards.
I don't see any excuse considering this is a first party game. This game should look better than this. It doesn't look terrible or anything, but it isn't up to par. It's not like the devs need as much time as they normally would to flesh out the system. I think Nintendo just put their Tier 2 people on this game. They have a finite number of developers, which I understand, but the fact of the matter is that this game looks worse than some GC games, although the Wii is supposedly more powerful than the original Xbox. The casuals the game is aimed at won't really complain, but I expect more out of Nintendo.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
