Yeah, I think at 23 inches one should be fine. Only when you blow it up over 50 at 1080p does the resolution of 480p become a little painful. And you are right...no more heroes had really rough graphics. It was stil one of wiis better games tho.

I agree, NMH is the best third party Wii game I've played. I haven't started Okami yet, though.

Also, my brother has a 43" HDTV, and one reason he won't get a Wii is because he hates the rough edges Wii games have on big screens. I think it's a shame, really, but the artistry inspired by a lack of technical power has and will give us some great looking Wii exclusives. 

But.. Yeah, Wii's limited graphics + big screens=Rough edges, can put people off the system. I wouldn't use a bigger screen for my Wii games.

I also play my Xbox 360 on my HDTV and I didn't notice any issues so far. For me it's rather the opposite: HD games often look sterile to me and I think most Nintendo games have better animations than the average HD game. But I have no problem getting used to HD after playing the Wii for a certain time and vice versa.


On a sidenote I'm gonna scream if someone who obviously never owned a Wii comes in and claims "Wii graphics look terrible on my HDTV!".

I have component cables from the Wii to my Onkyo 606 which upscales the Wii to 1080i and outputs via HDMI to my TV.

I don't play the Wii too often, but it has looked fine to me.

I play my Wii on my 1080 P 32" Sharp, and I think it still looks great. I hope you're not trying to imply that it's news to you that the Wii's graphics don't look as good as the HD consoles'.

Try Super Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3.  I have a 360 and a Wii, and aside from my PC I think that Super Mario Galaxy is my best looking game.  I also think Metroid Prime 3 is as good looking as Halo 3 (which also isn't HD).  Metroid Prime 3 is better for the fact that the controls are far, far better and the framerate is also far, far better.

I have more issues with 360's framerate issues than with Wii's graphics... 480p graphics are good enough with good art direction.

I use a 32'' TV, but TV size shouldn't matter too much unless you're sitting really near it. Depending on the viewing distance, resolution becomes much less important or even a non-factor.

I played both and both are very good looking. Like I said, nintendo games are usually a cut above the rest...

Not too sure if I agree about the framerate of MP vs Halo 3 though. Halo 3's graphics aren't mindblowing by any means but it does 4 player split screen and the framerate is fixed at 30 fps...and it never dips. I don't know what MP3 frame rate is though...

It is not true that Halo 3's framerate doesn't dip, I've seen dip a lot especially in boss fights.

MP3's framerate looks like 60 fps to me (or a very well done 30 fps with motion-blur but I don't think so). It sometimes dips too, it's not as good as SMG in this department but still better than the 360 games I own.

Don't really have a problem here, but I don't own a gigantic 67" tv so maybe it isn't noticable. Also graphics don't turn me off from my wii.

I own all current platforms for this generation beside the high end pc.
