So the question is, "Do you think better graphics would have made wii games more fun to play than what they went with, which was a "new and MORE FUN way to play the games".... hmmmm...

That's a head scratcher....

Of course not!

Max, none of that stuff means anything.

The GameCube was the best console last generation because it had the best games -- the quality of a GameCube game was usually better than what you seen on the other consoles. It didn't need any stupid gimmicks or hype, because the quality of the games for the system were enough to please it's fans.

Nintendo would still be my favorite of the three right now if it where like the GameCube instead the cool and hip thing of the generation.

It doesn't matter if a bunch of stupid people think it's for kids or not. The GameCube is a legendary console that has done more for gaming than the Wii ever will.

i agree about the LCD.. i've seen the wii playing on LCDs at friends places, and it doesn't look all that great.. Plasmas, i've found, are really the best HDTVs for Wiis.. i currently own a 46" 1080p Viera plasma, and games like Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Metroid Prime..  all look amazing on it

(and in case someone says it looks good because i'm not aware of a difference in visual quality.... I can compare that with playing, say, CoD4 on highest settings with my computer hooked up to the screen with HDMI/DVI cables)

EDIT: Oh, and my answer to the thread title question is: No.

No, I would not trade motion for horsepower.

Yes, I'd go back to N64 graphics for Motion Plus.

No.

Never, it's Wiimote that makes Wii Different and changed the way that people play games. I personally really enjoy it and prefer it to a traditional controls, this brought me back to gaming.

If i wanted horsepower i would buy 360 or a PS3, but i wanted an alternative.

No.

Old Joysticks were not analogue.... they were digital sticks.

Analugue means there are variable speeds rather than simply on and off..... old joysticks were not analogue, if you pushed the stick to the right really slightly, it did exactly the same as pushing it all the way.... similarly there were only 8 directions for them, so an old joystick is essentially the same as a d-pad in disguise.

There was another console that had a proper analogue stick before the N64.... although I don't think it was fully analogue (it was either analogue direction, or analogue tilt... but not both)... but the N64 brought it properly into gaming.

@OP... lol no.

Seems like you got a resounding "no". I'd just like to add my "hell no" to that list as well.
