Why Nintendo has ruined this gen for me

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?

 

Thats not really how Nintendo acts. If they are happy with a game they don't care if it uses all the resources the platform has to offer.

Or do you think Wii Sports Resort or NSMBWii take all the power the wii has to offer?

 

No, I don't.  I do however think Galaxy, Metroid and Smash Bros. push the Wii quite a bit, though...
