Some funny replies, it would not kill some of you to simply accept that wiis hardware is weak and its graphics wont ever amaze anyone.

 I doubt that.  I watched the Super Mario Galaxy GDC trailer multiple times because it amazed me.  It's not technologically superior to a 360 or PS3 game, but if amazing graphics means "technologically superior" then you've got a different idea than me.  The colors, and the unique style, combined with pretty smooth looking technology amazed me.

And kalent, I know Lair doesn't really take you off your dragon, but there are sequences where your dragon walks on the ground...that's what I was considering the "land" missions like RS3.  And that's why I worry about Lair, because it has the possibility of being like RS3, where the land missions are just a "break" from the real action, and it's utterly boring.  From what I've seen, you land on the ground, and immediately start stomping all over soldiers.  Certainly sounds fun!  But if that's all you're doing, kicking around soldiers, with occasional slow-motion deaths, I can see that getting old fast.  It's when there's big animals on the ground that make it interesting, but then the solution is to just take flight, grab them with your claws and throw them.  Eh, it looks to be fun, but I don't know yet...
