"The developer can do something like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and go for the same look as the HD consoles and get ridiculed for looking like shit."
Or Dead Rising (when the graphics are superior to GTA III - SA, and GTA IV and DR look about the same on the 360), or The Conduit (all those effects don't save it from texture not looking up to HD level), or House of the Dead Overkill, or loads of other games. So yes, that is an annoying complaint. The Wii can make good graphics, just only moderately above the 6th gen level.
Nintendo fanboys claim they aren't graphics whores, but for those who find topping 6th gen stopped being good enough, they proved they are.
Although JRPG seems to be worried that this version is being treated as the inferior version. Twesterm has stated that the Wii version is the lead version for the artistic one, while the PS2 has to settle for the downgrading.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
