Yeah, The Conduit and its sequel Conduit 2 are probably the two most graphically advanced games on Wii, pushing a ton of effects rarely seen on the system like normal mapping, depth of field, fluid simulation, etc.

There's not as polished or artistically accomplished as the likes of the Galaxy games or Prime 3, but in terms of technology they pushed the system hard.

Are you guys serious? I love Nintendo, but wii games being in top graphically? They look beyond horrible, jaggies everywhere, bad textures, 480i resolution, which can be updated to 480p if you buy the cable for it, still very far from the typical 640p-720p last generation.

Mario galaxy looked decent, I still love it, but nothing like when Nintendo came with Mario 64 and it was a graphical marvel compared to the ps1, or even the gamecube when it had Mario sunshine and luigi mansion and graphics were really great compared to the ps2.

I don't think Nintendo will ever again be on top of graphics with their new approach. But I thought that's what people want, portability instead of graphics.

With that said the wiiU was the first time I saw beautiful graphics from Nintendo on an HD TV. Games like pikmin 3, Mario 3d, wonderful 101 all look amazing, but then again breath of the wild looks horrible with jaggies being very noticeable. The switch has even less of a chance because even tough its barely any more powerful than a wiiU (which was several times less powerful than ps4), now it competes with xbox X graphics and soon with ps5 graphics, so Nintendo wont even compete in graphics for the foreseeable future.

If your argument is that the Graphics on the Wii are terrible because more powerful consoles existed...

Then by extension the visuals on all consoles -forever- are shit because the PC exists.

Rather that isn't what the discussion is about, the discussion is about the best graphics on -each- individual system rather than the entire 7th gen collectively.

The Switch has proven to be a far more capable system than the Wii U... And we aren't even at the point where the Switch will get it's best looking games yet, in saying that, it still obviously falls short of it's 8th gen competitors.

I don't play on a projector or 100 inch screen or on PS4 Pro/Xbox One X/PC, so I guess my frame of reference is different.

My TV is 42 inches and my primary platform is the Switch. But I'm still able to fire up, say, Mario Galaxy or Sonic Colours and while they do have noticeable jaggies, I still think they look visually appealing overall.

I am surprised how well Wii games hold up on a CRT to be honest.
But on my 75" home Television? Not so much.
