ok the wii has better effects at 480p tops those effects look way better then the original GC.

Still if the leap between GC graphics to wii graphics same resolution different effects! better programming! is say 3 times more powerful! the cpu is said to 1.5 times more powerful then the GC!

there should be better image quality!

the 360 cost $550.00 at launch to make! they have a deal to get the Ati GPU at less then cost so ati was losing money on the chip out of the box!

Ati or amd if you will has a licensing agreement with the 360 or MS to make aprox. $10.00 per game sold! thats one reason the the games went from $50 to $60 ea.

so now they make thier money back on the graphics chip!

The Wii cost about $200 to make at launch with Ati selling the chip at a profit to Nintendo with no licensing agreement on the games!

So in short ya the could probably port the game to run like crap kinda like running crysis on a high end pc to a low end pc

say one running a 8800 gtx to a 5950 superclock ! something like that

or in crysis sense more like 2 8800 gtx against a 7600gt with on getting a 6600 duo core and the other a 3500 athlon cpu! apples and oranges yes both can play the game what does it look like afterwards!

 

What do you mean by that? Do you mean all Wii games should look better than the GC, even though Nintendo has made no requirement of that? It's only recently that developers are really pushing the system. Brawl has graphics just as intensive as Twilight Princess, but at doulbe the framerate, which is already beyond what the GC can do.

Plus previews of some games would certainly be beyond the GC, if the graphics hold up (although many game previews mean I'm not holding my breath).
