Resident Evil 4 looks amazing, those graphics will never look bad to me. Twilight princess looks amazing, those graphics will never look bad to me. same with metroid prime, wind waker, and smash brothers. sense the gamecube was able to produce such awsome games with awsome graphics, why does every one have such a doubt that the wii is going to have bad graphics. what we have now is just the tip of the iceberg, its like playing luigis mansion and saying the gamecube sucks. The Wii is not going to let us down. and whatever the graphics are they are definatly not going to lag and skip like oblivion you can count on that.

People just want developers to put forth the effort to make superb graphics in games for the Wii. We all know that the Wii is capable of much more.

Sorry, but SSBM graphics aren't awesome at all... They're right, they fit the game and they don't spoil the fun at all, but you can't say they're amazing.

People say the graphic is bad because it's compared to the other consoles.And another factor is that people are addicted to better graphics,they'll always want more and more.And so am i...

The graphics for that game are ok. I'm happy with the graphics, but I think the GC could've handled it too. The only thing that seems improved, graphics-wise, are the textures on characters (from what I've seen so far from the game). Metroid Prime 3 seems to have better graphics than Metroid Prime 2, but there's no big leap here either. MP3 looks very good, though. But then again: Who the hell buys a Wii for the graphics?

graphics are relative to everyone....some might think Paper mario may look great (like me) and some may think it's the worst excuse of a platformer....

I thought grahpics on the gamecube were fine enough...its just what devs do with the graphics that matter....

Exactly, as long as they are good enough not to detract from the game I am very pleased.

Here's my opinion. The worst games on the PS3 and Xbox, have graphics better than the best games on their predecessors. The same can't be said for the wii. The wii games have to compete to look as good as gamecube graphic games. from my observation,(correct me if I'm wrong) there is no game out there for the wii that looks as good as RE4. Personally i don't mind this, but this is the excuse people use to diss the wii.

Zelda TP is a good example that the Wii can do even better than the game cube OBVIOUSLY.... Seriously though for those graphic freaks, they need to chill out. The Wii's games later on in the year will see a big difference in graphics than from the launch titles. remember, the launch titles don't bring out the max outta a system, ur gonna have to wait to get what u want.

And stop makin the lame excuse of comparing it with the 360 and the PS3, if u wanna talk about AWSOME graphics, talk about the PC.

the Wii has yet to have a game developed for it, that was not some kind of port or "here's how you use the Wiimote" game. Once some games start rolling made just for the Wii without the gamecube in mind, you'll see a noticable jump in graphics power.

I like GameCube's graphics.  I just recently played Wave Race: Blue Storm and I forgot how beautiful those water effects were, especially when water splashes on the screen.

I would say RE4 had the best graphics from the last generation. And Zelda looks nice also.

I personally thought F-Zero GX and Ninja Gaiden on Xbox are tied at the best graphics of last generation for sure. F-Zero was done in 4 player splitscreen without a hint of slowdown at 60fps. That's one ****** awesome achievement!

Seriously? Metroid Prime, Wind Waker and RE4 are the best the cube and last gen has to offer.

RE4 doesn't have awesome graphics?  What does it take to impress you man?  It's not even that far behind Gears of War (I said "not that far" graphics whores, not equal).

It's a substantial bit behind: not really even all that close. And RE4 (the GCN version, at least) wasn't even running fullscreen.

You can't compare the best of last gen to the best (so far) of this gen. Of course there's a very large difference in visuals and effects. You can't seriously think that both games are similar in graphical power. :?

re 4 had okay graphics not the greatest game of all time the only game using all of the gamecubes graphics was zelda tp, the only game that looks good on wii now is sonic the secret rings that game is running on the barley any graphics at all of wiis power the game looks awesome the water is shiny as hell.
the games that will use more of the wiis graphical power is smg and mp3 as of what we have seen ive seen tons of videos for those 2 games and might i add they are beyond what ive seen on gamecube.
and wii
mario galaxy uses the smoothing out engine of the wii did you see the planets there perfectly 360 spheres and if you propably looked at that you would get a 12 agon sphere looking thing on game cube.
basicaly people keep bashing wii graphics cause they say there weak well ill tell you one thing the wii is a video game system,not a computing system that runs on 3 cores or 7 cells that can only use 1 cell to produce gameplay rest are for graphics like glass shattering and stuff some other cells are for programs and stuff. back to the 3 core system well it uses 2 cores for gaming and one for programs keeping the interface clean. remeber one thing 2 cores equals 1 cell except a cell produces better and realistic lighting.
on too the wii which is a littile bit over 1 core so its about half as strong as the other 2 in graphics comparison when it realeses its awesome games. sure it doesnt have great super computer phisics engine and other engines. it still has a good lighting engine and graphics core.so the games we will see coming out are still gonna amaze us but dont compare 2 the other 2 systems. sure the ps3 isnt selling its still good, and the 360 isnt selling much ether theres millions in stores, the wii is flying off the shelves like super man trying to save some one in distress.

The graphics would only look bad compared to, say, ps3 and 360, but really there just better which doesn't make the Wii's graphics bad. Wii has inovation to make up for it's lack of hardware power.
