I agree with Galaxy being fine on the Wii, and that "more power doesn't mean better".  What I was disagreeing with was that "Galaxy would not be enhanced and would be exactly the same on PS3".

 

First off, I'm not talking about controls or whether Nintendo's decision going with Wii tech vs HD tech was good or bad; that's a totally different topic... I for one like the Wii a lot.  I'm only talking if Nintendo had a console equivalent to PS3 in power.  Your comparison to NMH makes me think you're referring to some touched-up port of Galaxy with iffy controls to PS3.  I'm talking about a ground-up game of Mario with that much power to work with.  More power doesn't mean better, but what you're implying is that it wouldn't, or even couldn't be better.  You're underestimating Nintendo's abilities and imagination.  If the Wii had PS3 tech under the hood, a company like Nintendo would not limit themselves; why would they?

 

 

I still don't buy the argument because simply put not one person here who has put it forward has come up with an idea on how it would improve the game other then graphics, f**k the whole DLC, online malarky that one person was spewing earlier because the Wii can do those anyway all I'm hearing is "imagine what they could do" well guess what imagine what devs could do if the PS3 and 360 were as powerful as top tier gaming rig PCs. It just doesn't fly as an argument, until someone can come up with some valid enhancements a part from playing in 1080/720p I stand by my point that Galaxy would be the same game only in higher resolution much like 90% of the games today are HD versions of their last gen counterparts.

I'm not saying the game would be be improved other than the graphics OR that Nintendo should have gone with a more powerful system. 

 

You're saying Nintendo wouldn't up their abilities as programmers as their tech capabilites increase.  I completely disagree; that totally discredits Nintendo's creativity.  You said it yourself before:  Galaxy is the most beautiful Wii game.  It doesn't just look like Mario 64 with new controls...
