Well that is pretty good. I dunno much about all of this stuff but when I look at Skyward Sword, the character models, the environments, it looks more impressive to me than Galaxy, and I don't think I mean aesthetically. In spite of whatever fancy techniques EAD Tokyo used, their game looks remarkably simple compared to Zelda -- as intended, I'm sure. It's not like Mario needs to look super high-tech.
