SMGs are some of the best looking games of the 7th gen, including many PS360 games.Deal with it.

It's only a year by year thing for people like you who only see amount of pixels and textures or polygons or whatever.

People who aren't technical whores see graphics differently, in a less shallow way.

they arent. not even close. deal with it. 

Like I said, technical graphics whores wouldn't see it that way.


On one hand, I agree with you that visually SMG 1 and 2 are probably some of the best visually appealling games of last generations...but for the art style.  Most people I've encountered (I'm not claiming the following statement as a definitive truth but as something I've seen first hand) would see Wii Demos or videos of a game like SMG 1/2 or WindWaker in a store like Bestbuy or Gamestop and then see The Last of Us or Uncharted 2 and totally forget about the Wii video or demo, because they were in such awe of the tech behind the latter games.  And I'm talking about the layman, like my gf or family members, not people who go on forums to discuss video games all day.

So this issue is not just about graphics whores, its about possible future consumers that aren't hardcore gamers.  Regardless of the artistry and attention some games might have on Nintendo's platforms, its tech will make it look a generation behind PS4/XB1 in the eye's of many potential consumers.

You being blind to that and calling people graphics whores for not seeing a Wii game as a visual contender against the best of PS3/360 doesn't change the fact that the same thing may happen to the Wii U but this time Nintendo will not have the allure of innovative controls to sell their system.  Ultimately, the gaming system is still a consumer electronics product and graphics do matter to a lot of people, not just graphics whores!
