I think you are confusing graphics with aesthetics. Nintendo's game looks great, but that can almost entirely be credited to their artistic skill, not their graphical ambition. Graphics are the technical side of a game, it's texture, filtering, AA, shading etc. In that respect Nintendo have been incredibly underwhelming To use your example of 3D world, it's using basic flat textures, surprisingly low polygon characters and environments, and is has basic edge detection AA (which is almost embarrassing when compared to the SMAA T2X variant used for infamous). Again, their games do look great, but that certainly isn't due to pushing the technical side of things :P Which, like i said, is a shame. They certainly put more effort into maxing the hardware of their previous consoles. |
you are just denying credit where it's due. the biggest example so far is mario kart 8, wich is gorgeous on both aesthetics AND graphics. other games like, nintendoland, 3d world, pikmin 3 and W101 do the same is smaller scales.
