Embossing is a type of bumpmapping, a simple type that doesn't factor in realtime lighting and doesn't really work at low viewing angles.

What Battallion Wars 2 is showing there is EMBM, another type of bumpmapping, more advanced. Again, easily identifiable by its frequent appearance as a "bumpy" distortion of a reflective surface.

And IF that's normal mapping in Tournament of Legends, it's some of the poorest I've ever seen.

Can you provide a link to the normal mapped Galaxy 2 assets?

Dewy's Adventure used Normal Mapping on bosses,  http://wii.ign.com/articles/760/760682p2.html 

True. I didn't mean the system can't do it. Metroid Other M has normal mapping as well, the Wii is capable of it, I just don't see anything in Galaxy 2 that looks like it.
