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. |
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).
