7th gen Nintendo games like Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 3, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Xenoblade were technically strong for their hardware, more so than any of their Wii U efforts to date.

Oh without a doubt they were, but i was talking of how many Nintendo fans believed a game like SMG had visuals as good (as a whole package, both graphically and aesthetically) as a PS3 game like Killzone. I agreed with that opinion, as games like Killzone may show off great graphics, but they have the art direction of a depressed rock :p Shadow Fall was a move in the right direction, but that was merely an upgrade from depressing rock to relatively interest bush.

You'd think people would appreciate how much respect i have for Nintendo artistic skill rather than jump down my throat for being dissatisfied with their technical efforts :/

As a Nintendo fan, I too am disappointed with their lack of technical ambition, because the console sorely needs someone to show what it can do.

For instance, Retro Studios pushed the GC and Wii hard, then their first Wii U game is stiflingly conservative on the technical front. Don't get me wrong, Tropical Freeze is an absolutely amazing game, and it looks very nice, but it doesn't suggest even an inclination for exploring the limits of the hardware.
