So, lemmings and cows, you seem to be posting the same pictures that attempt to defame the Wii and dub it "last-gen". You know something? You're just lying to yourself. The Wii has some very good graphics, first-party and THIRD PARTY alike. Yes, even third party. Behold!

 

Super Mario Galaxy:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

No More Heroes (Third Party, developed/produced by makers of Killer 7):

 

For those of you claiming the Wii "Last-Gen":

1) Nobody expects the Wii's graphics to be Gears of War. Not even Sheep.

2) All consoles have games that look bad. Example? Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (PS3) and Gun (360).

3) Everyone knows that saying that a PSP could do better than the Wii in graphics is an extreme hyperbole, so stop.

 

There you go. Now do us all a favor and enjoy your games.

Of course the Wii isn't next gen... that's because it is current gen. We don't even know what the Next gen systems will be yet.

The Wii is NOT a graphical powerhouse, but if used to potential, it can get the job done pretty well. Main examples being pretty much every 1st party Nintendo game for the Wii.

So what if it has jaggies....still looks good to me. Not everybody looks at that and sees these miniscule and insignificant jaggies, some people see that (the screens) and see it for what it is: A good lookin game.

Because people for some reason think that uber graphics are needed for a system to be next gen. The Wii is a current hen system even if it had SNES graphics, but I get your point. :wink:

What do those screens prove? They're nothing the Xbox can't do. The Wii isn't next/current-gen hardware, face it. It's an overclocked GameCube. Just enjoy it for what it is...

I'm not a graphics whore.  I just think he should post decent looking screenshots of a game when he's trying to prove the graphical capabilitiels of the Wii.  SMG and SSBB were great examples but No More Heroes just doesn't look that good in a screenshot, although in motion it's good.

Please take note that all those are coming somewhere in the future. So, right now, at the current moment, there`s no proof of the Wii`s power. Also, a game like God of War (either the first or the second), on a last-gen system, easily surpasses the graphics in those announced games.

  It's easy to point out jaggies when theres a lot of them.

Can you honestly look at this screenshot that the TC posted and say it's current gen graphics?  Sure it's art ****is nice but it is technically weak.  I'm usually not up on graphics like this but it annoys me when sheep try to compare the Wii's graphics to other current gen consoles (and vise versa).  I thought we all already established that Wii is more powerful than the Xbox but not nearly as powerful as the PS3 or 360.

Honestly?

In the screenshots, the jaggies are VERY noticable.  In action they are not.

I'm just telling you what I see.

Find me another game on PS3 or 360 that will look better, have the same st-yle and play exactly the same.

You're saying those screens are current-gen, that means they should compare to the 360 and PS3 if they were current gen.  Nintendo said themselves that the Wii is taking a new path and is New Gen rather than Next Gen.

How long is this going to continue the Wii wasn't built to be a powerhouse in graphics it brings a new way to play which is actually very fun, the Wii might not have the best graphics but it does how more power than the Xbox so you can expect decent graphics to come out. Lots of people are just pissed that the Wii is winning in the console war and yah everyone keeps on posting the same pics good or bad. I own a X360 and a Wii and I can personally tell you that they are both very fun while the X360 is nice to look at and fun to play the Wii is also nice to look(depending on which games you have) and you will often get into the games more than just pressing buttons, I have yet to play the Ps3 so I can't give a good opinion on that. Oh and 1 last thing rent the game Gears of War unless you wanna buy a game for 60 dollars that has a little more than 6 hours of play in it.

I wouldn't say Wii is last gen just because it launched this gen. The fact that it has last gen "graphics", so far, is true however. We'll just have to wait and see if that changes (I'm sure it will) with SMG and other first party titles. The thing to remember is that the Wii is always going to be inferior when it comes to AI, physics, and graphics potential. Not a big deal for the price.
