this cannot be denied. Nintendo studios have the best imaginations and artsy games in the market and it has been so since the NES. they might not be graphics kings, but they are the best in art direction and creativity. mario, zelda, pokemon, donkey kong, etc are all examples of the imagination of Nintendo. all the more reason to get Banjo back from Microsoft. none of Sony's IPs match the awesomeness of Nintendo's IPs, which is why Sony Smash Bros is going to fail. Nintendo is artwork and visuals KING! regardless of the consoles power, nintendo systems please the eyes more than the competition. this is a fact.

I don't think you're thinking of artwork, OP; you're thinking of Game Design. Artwork goes to Mistwalker. The Last Story art book contains a pieces that are truly exemplary.

Art is subjective, some get it, some don't. From my perspective, Nintendo is best at taking full advantage of their own hardware. As for the art direction, Skyward Sword looks pretty bad in some areas....like some of the ugliest environments I've seen from Zelda in years.

I can agree with that. Most of their series have a great artistic direction, especially Zelda and Metroid.

to be honest, Wind Waker holds up very well today. It still looks damn great. Yes, not good, great.

Uhhh nope! Not in my opinion anyways. Nintendo does have some great art and from time to time they've had things that can be considered among the best, but to call them king in this category? Nah.

Agreed, I have never seen game that could wow me more than nintendo's. Mario 64 Zelda: Windwaker Mario galaxy Nintendo fully utilizes what little power they have with the wii.

They are artistically talented, however i personally don't like the japanese look and art is purely subjective.

they've definitely made some beautiful games and their visuals so often compliment the gameplay (obviously the most important part). my favorite from nintendo is wind waker. besides being gorgeous, the bold use of lines ties together the wind theme thats so central to everything.

What do you mean technical...... Crysis 2 on the PC with DX11 and hi-res textures. That's technical.

I like the architecture and the ornateness of just about every structure in the Uncharted games.

yeah, Uncharted has nice art style even if the lemmings and hermits doesn't want to admit it. Halo series has good art style too but people tend to go for the ones that assimilate cartoon animations like Valkyria Chronicles, Wind Waker and Muramasa (which is like cheating since the entire game was hand drawn) instead of the better ones like Journey.

But this thread is haywire and I don't know what is going on. The tittle talks about Artwork but in actual post TC talks about something else.

I'm not really fond of RPGs. But, we may buy Xenoblade Chronicles (for our eldest kid). My kid is very much into that genre. It looked quite good especially for a Wii game.

I disagree with he topic, sure, but AMR is nothing special and Nintendo easily has a few titles that stand up to (and in some cases all out obliterate) that game.

And if we're talking creativity, as you said, rather than pure artistic quality, Nintendo is leagues ahead of that game. Nintendo has signature styIes that are very unique and instantly recognizable per IP. A random pic of AMR could be mistaken for anything.

Really, I dont consider Nintendo to be top dog in this category at all, but you should at least come with some real competition lol.

Guys, guys... why are you even debating this?

Isn't it OBVIOUS?!?!?

There is no clear winner here. It depends on the specific studio, the game, the gamer's taste, etc.

There are games with creative and stunning visuals on all consoles.
