@ shakrak: It's because the majority of the HD fanboys go rabid about Wii's graphics. All we ever hear is how absolutely horrible Wii games LOOK. We all know they play well (the good ones of course). There are tons of great games with so-so graphics, and we all know 3rd party developers have been a lazy bunch with Wii. But now, finally, after more than 2 years, there are A LOT of upcoming Wii games that look absolutely fabulous (for the Wii). We've had to put up with crappy looking games long enough, finally some beautiful games are coming out.
ALSO, this is the internet. An optical medium. Videos and screens are all we have. We haven't played the games. You can't talk about controls, gameplay, playtime or whatever when you have only SEEN the game.

So when we Jump a goat over a game having graphics that are almost of HD quality on every new Wii game coming out does that not legitamize what hd fanboys are saying.  The usual arguement of a wii owner in defence to hd fanboy trolling is that we chose the console for the controls,  Nintendos ip's, or new ground breaking ideas for games.  When every single post on every wii topic is all glamourizing graphics it just kinda defeats the point of even defending the mjaority of Wii owners reasons for choosing their wii's as their only consoles (which the majority of Wii owners have.

 

Now I'm not saying we should not post about it, but you dont see anybody posting about how they this game is not bringing anything new to the formula which from what we've seen it is not.  That goes for the majority of good looking wii games.  I'm just ranting at the way wii owners are as bad as hd fanboys when it comes to a game with graphics.  I just find myself looking for other traits in a wii game, that I myself find to be more important then the graphics.  Which is why i chose the wii. 

 

@ brainbox  You bring up a good point that I didn't think about, but by most peoples posts you can tell they are just thinking "wooow looks almost as good as hd!"

Better graphics = More effort. This translates into better gameplay, etc.

So a game like Sonic Unleashed which has a generally "meh" review avearge but great graphics for wii means better gameplay?  What about a game like Trauma Center, that uses pretty much wire models to do surgery instead of going for that realistic look?  

HOTD Overkill graphics are pretty average and could of easily been done on a gamecube, but the reviews and gameplay on that is something you can only get on wii.

 

I gotta disagree with that statement.

Conclusive proof that KZ2 has fantastic gameplay.

also, no this isn't a very good thing to correlate.  I can tell you from experience that Afro Samurai was very pretty, didn't stop the gameplay from being meh.

Why do people always talk about graphics when discussing the newest wii game. From demon blade, to conduit, to sonic and the black knight, every single thread thats came out from comic con is, "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THOSE GRAPHICS." Seriously as a wii gamer the graphics are a plus but I'm much more interested in the gameplay, plot, length, how intuitive the controls are, and concept of a game is then the dam graphics.

So tell me Wii gamers why are THE MAJORITY of your posts on almost all these wii game topics related to the graphics? Not trying to start a arguement but it makes me feel like my fellow wii gamers are bitter about having a console with lesser graphics then the competition.

 

Well i think people complement graphics so hard because of constant attacks on Wii's capabilities, and constant bashing of 3rd party titles. And suddenly we all see that if devs put enough effort in  Wii is able to pull off nice visuals, and this is a form of praising the lastest efforts from 3rd parties, that contrast with previous stuff we saw from them.



looks really good, wasnt sure about this game on the wii until now. going to get this when it comes out.

*shrugs*

Guess after hearing so much crap from HD fanboys every day, it's a knee-jerk reaction for some of them. This is the internet after all. =P

 



Pop-up trees........



Cool, I'll have to put that on my radar.



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

looks great, high expectations for this game. After having so much fun with overlord in the x360.... this will be good
