Here ya go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Spin_3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FaceBreaker

and those are just examples. Im sure more will be coming, and im not surprised if RE5 is one of them.


FF7 on NES might have the same story but it wouldn't be the same game.


It'd oddly be better looking though.


Was that a knock to FFVII or something else?

Just curious.


You never saw the Final Fantasy VII for NES video? :)

And windbane... do you have any proof that Rockstar's Table Tennis is not using the RAGE engine? Because the models look the same you know. Same for the other games... you have ANY proof that it's not using the same engine? Thanks, I thought so.

I did see it. I was just asking. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Little of that little of it just being true in my opinion.  The NES sprite conversions i've seen of FF7 characters actually were more athstetically pleasing then what I saw in FF7 as was the FF7 to NES video... FF7 is the ugliest videogame  i've ever seen. (cutscenes aside of course.)

Well outside of some virtual boy games.  This is from someone who has an Atari hooked up complete with some 2600 games. 

When a game looks worse then Donkey Kong JR 2600 you've got some problems

I'm not saying it doesn't look great, just not too great to be scaled down a smidge for the Wii.

Did Capcom ever consider maybe trying to use the Classic Controller as a primary means of porting it to the Wii? Christ, Bundle DMC4 Wii with a Classic Controller and you'll have an instant million seller.

dude its not gonna happen like one post here suggests its a difference of the wii being the equivilent of an xbox original, the PS3 And 360 are 10x more powerful you would have to port it down more then a smidge!

But your getting PS2 ports Okami and other games out 2 years ago on the PS2! should be fun if you didnt play these already!

Well it was Square's first effort at such a game, and I admit the blocky polygons were an odd aesthetic choice. the characters in battle looked nice, though.

 You know, I was going to formulate a reply but then I realize I shouldn't take you seriously.

I've seen the specs and there it is a difference
Processors:
wii
CPU: , reportedly† clocked at 729 MHz
GPU: ATI GPU made 243 MHz
Those are for xbox(original)
CPU 733 MHz Intel Pentium III-based Mobile Celeron
GPU 233 MHz nVidia NV2A

So wii may be more powerful than xbox by being more efficient and can could handle the gameplay but it wouldn't be the similar and had to cut things out.
It doesn't have similar specs to Ps3 or Xbox360. Period.

ya 3 cores cpu at 3.2 ghz and a 48 pixel pipline gpu running at 500 mhz! dont confuse your self with specs please!

Just cause the chip in the Wii is running half as slow doesnt mean its got anywhere near the balls of the 360! the wii uses about 64 mbs of ram for graphics the 512 mb of system ram is for storage not graphics!

the 360 couldnt handle wii channels?? YA so when Iam in game on the 360 I can get a messages and send them from dashboard without exiting the game even the PS3 cant do that yet! each channel on the wii is in memmory and can be started like a game how is that interface more extensive then the 360 dashboard!

the gpu is slightly better then the game cubes why do you think zelda looks the same on both consoles???

Nintendo isnt going for graphics they went for gameplay so stop with its got power! its not that far behind!

it doesnt and it is! because devs. would gladly down port a game to it for the money!

note games do look better on the wii then gamecube! they should



"the gpu is slightly better then the game cubes why do you think zelda looks the same on both consoles???"

That was due to them not wanting to delay the game further. Duh.

The fact of the matter is that the 729MHz CPU in the Wii is clocked 4.4 times slower than the 360, and the 360 has 3 cores, so it's approximately 13 times faster than the Wii, not 5 times as has been mentioned previously on this thread. The PS3 isclocked 4.8 times faster and can use up to 6 SPUs + the main CPU so it's approximately 33.6 times faster than the Wii, not to mention they both have very fast GPUs, buses and memory. The Wii may not be quite last-gen, but it's nowhere near this generation, about the equivalent of an original XBox with a fancy controller.



WinAPE - The Windows Amstrad Plus Emulator

JEMU  - The Java Emulation Platform

^That's quite a rudimentary way to calculate computational power. And since when is the Cell clocked at a higher speed than Xenon?

And for the records, the Wii can have the same memory bandwidth of the PS3 and 360. It uses the same memory.
