Forums - Nintendo - Wii U's main graphical disadvantage is the lack of a studio like Naughty Dog or Santa Monica

No one is trying because Nintendo themselves have set a precedent that graphics don't really matter, and that taking a minimalist approach to visuals as long as your game sells decent enough is the way to go with the Wii U.


Basing this the whopping handful of titles you've yet seen from Nintendo for Wii U. Right.

Also, Mario Kart 8, X, Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101, hell even Pikmin 3, I'd hardly call any of those graphically lazy or "minimalist". And we haven't even seen the new Zelda, or a potential new Star Fox, or Wave Race, or F-Zero, etc. Any one of those games hold the potential to look amazing.

The way people are overreacting is kind of hilarious. Akin to assuming that all SNES games were going to only ever look as good as Super Mario World, or that all PSX games were only ever going to look as good as Jumping Flash.

X looks better than The Last of Us.

Yeah.. no. I doubt X will be in consideration for one of the games of the generation.

I would say Retro is the best contender for pushing the Wii U hardware. Sadly DKCR:TR is not the type of game that does, and it's okay if it does not. We will probably see a title from Retro that shows off the capabilities of the Wii U, but it will take time.

And how many GOTY awards did Xenoblade Chronicles win? And that's why it will never be considered one of the games of the generation.

....really, SMG not one of the best looking games ?










....I know...opinions and all that, but come on... !

It's not even like that in Wii and no... SMB is not one of the best looking games of the generations... it is not even close to that.

You can like the artstyle... it is personal but the game is "ugly" in terms of graphics for the 7th generation.

The game is really fun and great... I prefer it over the 2D Mario on Wii

it looks beautiful in every sense of the word regardless of generation. it was beautiful at it's release, it's beautifull now and will remain beautifull after we're all dead and so on.

It's not the end of the year yet but I can safely say that it will win a lot.

Well thats just a plain cheap argument. Tlou just came out and the year isn't over yet. Xeno came out a year or 2 ago already.
