I know that Nintendo fans like to go on about gameplay over graphics and fair enough but there's one fundamental flaw in that thinking: Great graphics and great gameplay are a part of high production values. Developers who decide they don't want to maximise the Wii's graphical output are lazy developers, and there's no reason to expect that they would be less lazy on the gameplay side of things.
I have little doubt that if this game is released looking the way it does now that it will play equally atrociously. Gameplay and graphics tend to have a high positive correlation, and if lazy developers create games with awful graphics then there's a more than good chance the game will have awful gameplay too.
