No one is trying because Nintendo themselves have set a precedent that graphics don't really matter, and that taking a minimalist approach to visuals as long as your game sells decent enough is the way to go with the Wii U.


Basing this the whopping handful of titles you've yet seen from Nintendo for Wii U. Right.

Also, Mario Kart 8, X, Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101, hell even Pikmin 3, I'd hardly call any of those graphically lazy or "minimalist". And we haven't even seen the new Zelda, or a potential new Star Fox, or Wave Race, or F-Zero, etc. Any one of those games hold the potential to look amazing.

The way people are overreacting is kind of hilarious. Akin to assuming that all SNES games were going to only ever look as good as Super Mario World, or that all PSX games were only ever going to look as good as Jumping Flash.

Actually Super Mario World was one of the best looking games of its day on consoles.  It didn't look like a game that was capable on last-gen consoles when it came out, thats for sure.  Nor did Super Mario 64, or Rogue Squadron II or Melee. All the other games you mentioned look like Wii games in HD, with the exception of Bayonetta, which looks exactly like a PS360 game.

you're only lying to yourself. and with your (lack of) logic, one can argue that ps4/xone titles don't even look like ps360 titles in hd.
