As far as we're concerned, innovation that is graphical is essentially not innovation at all.

Umm, fixed?!? Seriously, what is that guy thinking.

[jiggs]

I read the whole article, I think he is just being extremely sarcastic.

[Spookmeister C]

For his sake I hope so.

[Insane_Penguin]

Way too sarcastic. Yeah, okay, I guess I see the sarcasm. If it was a humor/satire thing, it probably should have had more humor and more obvious satire.

Maybe make sure everyone has actually read the other article first. You know, the one he links paranthetically at the end that seems much more serious.

i love nintendo, but am still skeptical. i saw some fighter pilot/ airplane game for the wii , and it looked like it could have been done on the N64. i realize that the wii will launch with a really low reatail price, making owning one attainable to almost everyone. but nintendo has fell short in the graphics department for the last 3 consols. i am looking foward to some of the games, as nintendo can add enormous fun factor to its games. it still is no excuse for the fucking blocky, LEGO people games that they seem to come up with. and also the new gay disco Mario game thats coming out.
that being said. i might buy one after i have already played the hell out of the new zelda (on my gamecube)

sorry to be the sourpuss,

but aside from the new metroid game, and the ability to play 3rd person shooters in an interesting new way ( the new controller)

what are some excellent reasons to get this? this is not a retorical question, give me some good points.

i saw some war/3rd person shooter for the xbox 360, and it was fucking sick, everyblade of grass moved, the trees moved , the explosions were lifelike. and it seems like this same game might be on the wii. im still hoping that the graphics will be almost compairable to the x box 360. i cant imagine what the ps3 will look like.

[jiggs]

Just think, when the next generation of systems arrive, the PS3 and 360 will be completely obsolete. Nintendo knows that consoles always eventually get beaten out when it comes to having the best graphics. They've been at it long enough. They nailed it, in my opinion, by taking a different approach toward immersing the player into the game. They've got balls for not trying to compete graphically, and I think it was the right decision for them.

I really wonder what their next generation system will be like.

i cant wait to hear some news about playing the goldeneye for the wii i wonder how that will work
just basically download it and play it? im talkin the n64 version of course

i thought it was just going to be nintendo games.. no rare :/

[jiggs]

I also heard no Rare games, however I don't see it being entirely impossible for Nintendo to work something out with them in the future.

[thecreeper]

i think goldeneye is one of those games that will be forever left in limbo, since it is a licensed game to which they no longer own the license to AND they no longer own the developer.

I thought that Resident Evil 4 looked pretty awesome on the Gamecube. I was actually really surprised it could pull off those graphics, am I wrong in thinking that the Gamecube was as graphically powerful as the PS2?

That aside though, I do have to agree with you that some of the Wii graphics I've seen aren't that great. With 3D games, graphics do matter a lot, but even if the Wii is just a little better than the gamecube the graphics will be good enough.... in any case, I'm getting one.

and also the new gay disco Mario game thats coming out.

O_O ;_; It's called SUPER MARIO GALAXY. Research FTW.

Eventually the PS3 will be considered crap to the PS4, graphically (if Sony makes it that long, which they most likely will). GameCube had better graphics compared to PS2 (277 MHz vs. 415 approx. MHz), so I'm absolutely fine if games looked like that for just a little bit longer, but in this case the Wii will be capable of 2x that! Now I'm uber happy.

Screw graphic tarts, imo. Not everyone is rich enough to get the major consoles (though 360 is partially affordable, plus, there are some awesome games I'd beg Santa for. Yes, I still believe in Santa





















What?).

[Geo]

uh, wow.

no matter how you slice it, Mario Galaxy looks like shit; the PS4 has NOTHING TO DO with this generation; and the processing speed of the Gamecube doesn't matter in terms of graphics comparison. but hey, as you say, research FTW.

[mercatfat]

uh, wow.

no matter how you slice it, Mario Galaxy looks like shit;

really? because it kind of looks like a Mario game.

[ansgaros]

GameCube had better graphics compared to PS2 (277 MHz vs. 415 approx. MHz)

don't do that. the chips on PS2 and GC are different, you can't compare performance just by looking at clock speeds. also, potential performance has nothing to do with "better graphics". a metaphor: it's not the size of the tool, it's how you use it.

don't know about Mario Galaxy, but other than that, what Geo said.
