Word is at the end of the wii's life time, expect in the range of PS4-PS5 type graphics.

The Wii's visuals will improve as time goes on and developers start putting effort into maximizing the Wii's capabilities. Once developers stop being cheap and using last generation graphics engines you will see massive improvement.

What am I saying. Right now almost every developer under the sun is using old graphics engines like the Unreal2 engine or its slightly modified version (used in RedSteel). Fact is nobody wants to invest in creating any new graphics engine, why bother when the competition isn't either.

But once companies like JetBlackGames release their new graphics engines for the Wii. Developers who are in direct competition will be forced to improve their visuals as well. This is when the race will begin companies will start enhancing their engines or building new ones to best their competition.

Over time I think Wii games will begin to look closer and closer to first year 360 games. Games like Full Auto, Kameo or Perfect Dark Zero. Probubly not as good but pretty close.

But none of that will happen if none of the publishers see no reason to improve their visuals. Untill they start loosing money they will not utalize the Wii completely and continue using archaic graphics engines!

No, actually that's not true at all. It depends entirely on the engines used by your TV and their efficiency.

You must have a poor LCD TV (LCD amplifies the jagged edges).

Sorry to disappoint you, but on my HDTV, the Wii graphics are no jagged edges heaven.

You thought your case was the norm, but it's not.

For the rest, I agree with HappySqurriel (shouldn't that be HappySquirrel ?).

Games that have better effects, textures, resolution etc? Not going to happen.

Games that look better? I'd say there are several already, and way more on the way.

 Wow, I didn't really expect such a difference!!! 

I dare say that a lot of the people who say Wii can only do Gamecube/Xbox graphics are proven wrong here. Just imagine Capcom making a Resident Evil and makes the same leap from RE4. I think we have an amazing looking game then.

On topic: Wii will never do 360/PS3 graphics, but can definitely come close to 1st generation 360/PS3 games if viewed on 480 TV's.  

You could have just watched the beginning of the first trailer of SSBB to view the difference:

But do you honestly believe that the GC couldn't render those visuals? It would probably struggle with the final game in terms of pixel fillrate and such but I don't see why you believe those models are such a stretch for the GC to handle. One can simply compare the SSBM Link model to that of TT...

I am a Wii owner and am not in denial as to whether or not the graphics will ever look as good as what the 360 or PS3 can and will eventually do. However, I think that is unfair to say that the Wii cannot and will not have great looking games eventually. No, they may not be HD but I believe that we will see developers starting to really push the potential of the Wii. Just look at this Monster Hunter 3 trailer and this in-game in real time! While the Wii's graphics will always be less stunning then their counterparts that doesn't mean that a clever developer won't come along and shatter everyone's notions of what is possible graphically on the Wii's hardware.

That's a rediculous statement. It isn't going to happen in Wii's time. Even though I don't own a Wii, I do pay attention to some things about it. Such as how the people at Nintendo said "We're not putting a great emphasis on the Nintendo Wii with graphics" and "Nintendo Wii's graphics are (about) 20% improved over Nintendo GameCube". In other words, Nintendo didn't design Wii to compete with PS3 or Xbox360 in terms of graphics. It's never going to happen.

Firstly bumping old threads is against the rules.

Secondly please give me a  link to the bolded quote.

Way to bump a six-month-old thread, dude.

Also, they did not say that second part at all.  Maybe you should read the threads you're going against the rules to bump?
