i just finished re-playing the 1st metroid prime and i started to realize that the graphics are better than almost every wii game released so far...

now im not a graphics whore, but i cant help but think that a last gen system having better graphics than a current gen system is a bit of a problem.

I hate that devs are slacking off when it comes to making games on the wii. I understand that it doesnt have the power of a ps3 or a 360, but come on, the wii is much more powerful than what has been shown.

And Metroid Prime 2: Echoes looks much better than Prime 1 (except artstyle, maybe). Go figure.

MP 1 and 2 both have awesome grapichs but Zelda Windwaker has the best grapichs IMO(last gen).

a lot of 3d party devs are just using engines built for the ps2 because its cheaper and it allows for easy ports. atleast its nice to know that nintendo can still release a good looking wii game.

It's pointless to make a game look amazing on Wii, when it's way easier to make it for the other current gen consoles.

But I don't care at all. I would seriously be fine with N64 graphics... I might actually prefer it. Twilight Princess with Majora's Mask level graphics would be awesome in my opinion.

This. The original Wii dev kits were just GC kits with a different controller until Nintendo finalized the specs, but even now, they're taking a similar approach that they did with multiplats from last gen. It says as much as how amazing Metroid Prime was as it does for devs who take the quick and easy route... hopefully things'll change soon. There've already been games like Super Mario Galaxy that look better than anything that the GC put out, but it's up to 3rd party devs to make that extra investment and try to get more out of the system.

even Resident Evil 4 has better graphics than many Wii games, i hope the next Zelda has even much better graphics than the final version of Conduit (which in my opinion looks great so far)

Echoes looked better but both MP games were among the best looking titles of last gen. And the fact that they look better than more than half of the Wii's library is a sad truth.

I don't know hoe to explain it, but it seems like on 360 and PS3, when graphics are that good, you tend to all of a sudden be more picky. It is almost too real, and any little graphical glitch, which is many, makes it look weird. I am probable buying a Wii this week, haha, I sold my 360 games when my 360 broke.

RE 4 looks almost like a 360 game (on a standard tv, if your not close to any walls/textures).

The best graphics achieved on gc had to be WWE: Day of Reckoning 2 IMO, the models were so lifelike, the arenas were so well lit, there were alot of beautiful games on wii, but it made me say wow, and it looked better than any wrestling game at the time, I know alot of people will fight me on this, but it really was one of the best looking third party games on cube.

Ya, but it's sort of hard to stay away from textures now isn't it :) Nah Jk I agree. I think it's just due to laziness on the devs parts. I mean, why make a game with great graphics when they can make a game like Dogz or Ninja-Bread Manor whatever the heck it's called, for 1/100 of the cost and time,but still make loads of cash?

And if the 360 or PS3, no matter what the graphical capabilities of each, just came out with games with last-gen graphics, no one one go the extra mile to make a great looking game, because they know that they could get by without putting any effort forth...

It doesn't look hot on my 26" Bravia :( The character models hold up but the environments are horribly pixelated. The fire/heat effects are still technically impressive, though. Its kind of frustrating that Capcom don't make a "RE4 1.5" engine for Wii. Surely the extra processing power would be enough to add some form of anti-aliasing...
