Oh ok, I thought we were talking all consoles from 7th generation.

Yeah those games still look OK, but just barely, I have to force my brain to adapt to the graphics every time I replay xenoblades or Mario, because on my ps4 pro and xbox X I get no jaggies at all, and your brain gets accustomed to it, specially as I play on a 100inch screen jaggies get really noticeable. It was fine when I got the wii back in 2006, and I played games on an SD TV with 26 inch, it actually looked way better than an HD projector at 100inch.

With that said, Xenoblade on the 3ds was really getting my eyes to bleed, almost unplayable as you cant make out what is a jaggie and what is a door. Everything was just messed together. That game was just too much for the 3ds.

On the other hand the wiiU was an HD console from the get go, and it looked beautiful from day 1, Zelda looks bad because its a big open world demanding game so they could not fix the jaggies, Wind waker and Twilight princess look better on wiiU because, as they were not demanding they managed to remove the jaggies.

The biggest example of wii vs wiiU is Xenoblade chronicles, and then you play xenoblades X, the graphics are like 5x better, even tough the world got much bigger. Amazing how they managed that on wiiU, because the world is bigger than Zelda, and there's a lot of stuff in the world and no jaggies, game looks sharp and clean. So clearly the developers knew how to take advantage of the hardware better than the Zelda developers, or maybe they just made it look bad on wiiU to make people buy a switch, you really notice the difference in jaggies from the switch Zelda.

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.

The topic was not if it looks appealing, but TOP GRAPHICAL GAMES OF THE GENERATION, Mario galaxy looks good to me, but I cant honestly say that it looks as good as for example Killzone 2, Metal gear solid 5, Tomb raider, Crysis 3, Bioshock, Uncharted 2 and many others. It looks very good for a wii game, but not on top 10 or even top 20 graphically of the generation. With that said I still play N64 on my 100inch projector but I know the graphics cant compare, and that's fine, games are still fun.
