black ops 2 ran sub hd on the wii u, just like 360 and ps3. i'm sure nintendo will make some nice looking games, i'm not sure they will be stunning us cause they are new to hd graphics and might need sometime to get used to it, many japanese devs failed to deliver amazing garphics in the hd era, i'm interested to see how nintendo games look.

Really? I can only seem to find evidence to the contrary. I'd very much appreciate a link to something about this.

 

I think many felt they had to appeal to western gamers on what was typically popular over here, so they stopped experimenting as mush with stylization, and their games became rather bland looking as a result. Hopefully even more power on competing systems will also have other developers worry less about tech and more about art.
