Does anyone know how open Nintendo is with the techniques they use to get the most (graphically and otherwise) out of their own systems? i.e. Do they share code with third-parties to help them improve their Nintendo-platform offerings? Because this game looks quite a bit better than anything before on the Wii/GC.
Read my post above for the reason why that is.
As for the microcode, a few devs will get it if they don't have it already.
Is the GC/Wii GPU programmable to the extent the N64 was? I think the case there was that Nintendo was giving really sub-par microcode to 3rd parties, and didn't document the GPU, so only Nintendo and a few really dedicated 3rd parties (e.g. Rare) got what was available out of the system.
