So in technical terms is there any game on Wii that couldn't be done on the original Xbox? It is more powerful than the last gen Xbox, isn't it?

There are a few games that would not be possible exactly as they are on Wii.    But things could be scaled back in such a way or rednered with a different technique that it would be hard to notice the difference.

Out of curiosity, what are these games?

Pretty much all those already mentioned. 

 

So you couldn't do Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Conduit 2, Red Steel 2, Darkside Chronicles, or Zangeki no ReginLeiv on the original Xbox?

Just glad to see the much overlooked OverLord getting some much deserved attention in this thread.

Indeed. It was quite and impressive feat graphically. Its too bad games that had leve of graphical fidelity on the Wii were few and far between.

IIRC, it paid a price for it, with framerate issues, a grass and things drawing feet ahead of your character, and some very blocky shadows. Very ambitious though, I'll give it that; bloom, detailed environments, 360-style shadowmaps, lots of characters running round at once, etc. Overall though I think it bit off more than it could chew.

The majority of the time, framerate issues are the results of faulty programming and/or lack of optimization especially when it occurs sporadically like that.

You could tell by the looseness of some of the gameplay mechanics that they didn't go all in on Overlord. It was a nice effort though.
