"I'll tell ya what, when Wii 2 comes if you feel the SD Wii 1 was better"
That is not what you wrote. You wrote I somehow wouldn't want to go back to the old graphics. That is just bullshit.
And claiming the graphics can only make a game better is just bullshit as well. That is assuming there is no scenario where it makes a problem. First of all, games with realistic art direction have needed to use brown and gray tones to avoid the uncanny valley. Another scenario is when developers have to spend more money to make the graphics good than in making level design and quality control.
"Like I said a more apt example would be would anyone want to play Super Mario Galaxy on an N64 or DS level chipset? Even with a pointer controller?"
Again, strawman. Not going HD is NOT REVERTING TO THOSE GRAPHICS. How dare you call that more apt.
And just because YOU wouldn't want to doesn't mean others wouldn't mind. Despite what you think many would still play it with those graphics, as long as the game was just as solid.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
