why do you think its weird that wii owners want good graphics in their games instead of the ps2-level graphical crap that most 3rd parties have been putting out? its not like suddenly for the first time ever gamers don't care about graphics. wii owners just realize that graphics aren't everything. but its not like they are less important than they were in any other generation. games on the wii should still push its limits graphically just like games on any other system should.
There's nothing wrong with wanting good graphics but it's a trend I've noticed that whenever a Wii title presents decent visuals, certain people go out of their way to emphasize that particular aspect - sometimes even more than it deserves. There's no need for that kind of insecurity. Just don't listen to those who try to downplay the system's graphical capabilities.
Your logic is flawed. There is no doubt that this game's graphical achievements so far are beyond most, if not all of the 3rd party efforts from 2007. I find it strange that people are pretending like a Wii game actually looking good for a change is somehow this huge sin because the platform itself is not about the graphics. Are people so insecure about their HD console purchase that the second a Wii game gets praised in the graphics department, everyone must be upon it with a blunt object? No, this isn't threatening the best of the PS360 but I don't see why it's a crime to comment on or even be impressed by a good looking game like this when basically all we have to judge it on are looks from the 5 or 6 screens and trailer.
The thing is, a lot of times I see people criticizing visuals of a Wii game as a reply to people undeservingly praising it. Of course you also have those who find it amusing to roam the web in order to downplay the graphics in every single game, which in turn makes the system's loyal followers go into defense mode. It's cause and effect really.
It seems to me that people are underestimating the console's capabilities to such an extent that whenever a game such as this one gets shown, they automatically have to praise it's visuals. Are people actually impressed by them in this day and age? From what I know these type of graphics are well within the console's range. I'll go even further and state that I wouldn't be impressed by them if the game was released in the previous generation in this state.
It looks decent. No more, no less. You'll see much better. There's nothing "wow" about this - not in relation to todays graphical standards nor of those of the Wii.
