In terms of game quality, yes I would put Monolith, Retro, and the Zelda team on the same level as Naughty Dog. But visually? No, I wouldn't, not now. 3D World to Uncharted? It's not even a contest.

X is about the only game even revealed for Wii U so far that looks like it's really trying to do push the visual envelope. It looks so far ahead of anything else we've seen it's crazy.


To be fair I didn't say that 3D World was pushing the visual envelope. It's obviously not. It's damn good looking (I think), but obviously games will come along, from Nintendo and their partners, that will blow it out of the water. Which was my point. And yes, I do think what Monolith, Retro and the Zelda team, etc. eventually produce will be visually comparable, as far as pushing the hardware it's on, to Naughty Dog, etc. Which was also my point.

Also while maybe not quite PUSHING the envelope, I do think Mario Kart 8 so far looks like it's really taking advantage of Wii U's power.

I hope for Nintendo's sake they do step things up, it's just that their current "don't even try to push it" attitude makes me wonder. Graphics aren't everything, but a lot of people make snap judgements based on them.

If Mario Kart 8 does turn out to be 1080p at 60fps, then I'll be impressed by it.
