Forums - Nintendo - How much better does mario kart look on the wii than on the GC?

Lmao are you serious leo-j. The wii is less powerful than the gamecube. Despite the gamecube being the wii's predessor. Maybe you misunderstood by what I meant by GC>WII.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Why do you give him the satisfaction, he's sat at home with his mum so upset cos the PS3 can only dream of selling as much as the Wii and slates it at any opportunity, for christ sakes lad give it up and move on with your life and maybe find a girlfriend or something :)



 

Although very similar, Mario Kart Wii is an improvement on Mario Kart DD graphics and I prefer the way it looks.

MK:Wii was blurrier to me. For some reason watching MK:Wii in that video, really hurt my eyes.

It's the "depht" effect, which makes estimating distances easier, there's actually a big improvement in comparision to DD, and it tires eyes less. @Leo-J: How much do you want to bet, that in the video comparision both games are played with Wii. Oh, and in MK Wii, the MK64 tracks look better than the DD tracks, so N64 is more powerful than GC?

well the 513k euros and 570k japanese people sure dont care about "if" the graphics are the same, worse, slightly better or blurry or whatever you graphic-horny
people think.

Me? I would buy this game even if it looked like the SNES version.


by saying would I mean I already got it on release day



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

As others have pointed out, the comparison fails. The tracks look similar on purpose: they are the same tracks after all.

A better comparison would be the new tracks versus the old tracks, there you can see Mario Kart Wii looks fantastic. Screenshots don't do this game justice BTW.

Also, the Wii version has better framerate overall, uses extensive shaders on most new tracks, and runs in 16:9 widescreen. Believe me, it looks great.

Wait. Are you admitting that higher resolution greatly improves a game even with cartoon graphics?
(wide screen compared to 4:3) I totally agree that higher resolution (HD) improves the game especially on HDTV even when a game has average graphics. Even playing pinball on the wii I wish the game was in HD.(atleast 720p widesccen)
