Oh no not this again....
Nobody is arguing that graphics is all that matters or that worse looking games are less fun to play.
It's just about possibilities and comparison. Does SM3DW look and play great? Yes! Would it hurt to have better graphics on it? No!
Nobody is arguing about stuff like SM3DW or LoZWW because their art style doesn't need anything sophisticated from the graphics department. They look gorgeous no matter how many pixels you throw at it.
Now look at stuff that actually depends on good graphics and effects and will have a bigger impact on the consumer with more stunning visuals. Case in point Bayonetta 2.
Bayonetta was a visual spectacle. It needs graphics power to convey its art style. Was it fun to play? Yes! Would it have been better with sharper textures, AA and without frame drops? Double yes!
There are games that rely on a realistic art style and those need the power of the system to create their spectacle. We can't have all games just come with comic style or art styles that don't rely on much graphical effects. To say that certain games on the WiiU look great and there is no need for realistic graphics is as much ignorant bullshit as to say that all games on the WiiU are for kids because they aren't realistic enough.
So please look at both sides of this argument. We can't have just Nintendo games or just Uncharted games. We need both to satisfy as much gamers as possible. And it is undeniable fact that the Sony/MS side is more capable on delivering the second than Nintendo.
