Was Nintendo right to opt out of the graphics arms race?

But you're right about HD, it would have slowed down Wii game production a lot. 

"2007 was a landmark year for the Nintendo Wii, featuring major releases like Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, alongside popular titles such as Mario Party 8, Mario Strikers Charged, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Guitar Hero III, and Pokémon Battle Revolution, solidifying the console's family-friendly appeal and expanding its third-party support with games like Zack & Wiki and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition."

Compare that to WiiU's 2013 :/

Is that an AI summary, cos Smash Bros Brawl came out in 2008, not 2007.

Yep Google AI :/

It says the same thing for any year you ask lol. Landmark year for everyone.


AI summary for SMBB

"Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii was released in Japan on January 31, 2008, followed by North America on March 9, 2008, and then Australia and Europe in late June 2008"

AI and numbers, not a good match, but lets rely it anyway :)
