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.

The Rogue Squadron games on Gamecube couldn't be done on Xbox. Lucasarts was going to port RS2 and RS3 to Xbox but they couldn't get the games running nearly as well as their GC counter parts so they canned the port.

Dude, do you have a source that proves that? If you do I'd love to be able to read it.

Darc is actually correct.  I'd have to track down the interview but this was a pretty big notch in the GC belt when that interview came out.


Yeah I haven't been able to find anything on the net. It was big deal at the time. I know the GC could do single pass multexturing with twice the light sources of the Xbox. I think that was one of the primary reasons.
