Getting Super mario galaxy 2 to run on the wii.
Every now and then i go back and play some old games. At the moment i'm playing super mario galaxy 2 and i'm glad to say it hasn't aged one bit and it plays and looks as good as i remember, in fact it looks better than i remember. The colours really pop and the character models such as bowsers look amazing in boss fights and even the lighting is fantastic, especially in the lava/fire levels it really stands out.
Now call me mad but i think it outshines Super mario 3d world in places. I know 3d world uses more polygons, has superior lighting, has better effects and is in hd so therefore is far more graphically advanced but for some reason SMG2 looks more vibrant and seems to have a little more visual flair. Super mario 3d world is a great looking game i am not saying it isn't because it is but the art design is a bit different and the camera is angled differently so that is maybe why i prefer the look of SMG 1&2.
Anyway i'd just like to applaud Nintendo EAD for producing such amazing looking games on such an old console. I remember the wii era and how many awful looking games there were but nintendo showed what could be done with a bit of technical wizardry.
