Even SMG didn't impress me at all graphically- It seemed like ALL the poly's were used on the characters and water effects and none on the environment. 2) Look at Metroid Prime 3. LOOK AT IT. It's f*@(!NG beautiful. Now why don't the lazy ass 3rd party devs do something like that!? If all the Wii games were like MP3 then threads like this wouldn't exist. I don't know what went wrong with the Wii, but it's a little sad to me that there are only a handful of fantastic games to play at this stage. |
I do find that very contradictory. Seeing as much of Metroid Prime 3 is running off of the Metroid Prime engine (from GameCube) while Mario Galaxy was completely developed from the ground up for the Wii. Perhaps your views stem from your opinion of graphics design and art direction and not from the actual graphical power of the Wii?
Though I agree, the amount of third party developers who have actually tried to utilize the Wiis true graphical power can be counted on one hand.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
