That really is not a "vast" improvement... that is where the graphics should have started last November.

EDIT: I find it interesting how IGN put 720p pictures under the Wii section for NFS Pro Street. They are obviously not of the Wii version, for one, the resolution is too high, and two, they look too graphically advanced for what the Wii can handle.

No More Heroes is actually the worst looking in that group of screenshots. Now I know what they say about screenshots, but really, it looks bad compared to those games.

That one SMG screenshot with Mario on the small green planet kind of reminded me of Spore :lol:

Those screens all look good though, and No More Heroes looks much better in motion.

Seconded.

The Mario game looks very plastic and ridiculously shinely. Flashy at first, yes. Second look, the "good graphics" about it, is pretty much gone ever since the focusing kicks in.

Called Eternal Ocean now or something.

Anyway, they are improving, but probably won't get any better than SMG, SSBB, and MP3. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I Think The Biggest, if any, improvement in graphics out of all of those screenshots was in the true nintendo games (SMG, Smash Bros.)

a "vast improvement" means that the graphics have improved greatly from past examples...it has nothing to do w/ whether or not the graphics of the launch titles lived up to the potential of the wii's hardware. with your logic, you'd have to say that the 360 and ps3 games in years to come aren't vastly improved either, b/c the hardware has always been capable of these newer, better looking titles that are coming out. your logic fails.

Yup, the only ones that are actually impressive in a technical standpoint are SMG, SSBB, and Dewy.

As a sheep, some of those probably would not have been the best to show Wii's improvement, but that is just me. Besides, where is the Metroid?

But they have not been "improved greatly" from past examples. Most Wii games at launch looked worse than many Gamecube games, yet being run on a piece of hardware with twice the power. Kameo, Call of Duty 2, GRAW, PGR3, Resistance and Motorstorm were all excellent examples of what the 360/PS3 hardware was capable of and showed room for "vast" improvement. Considering the hardware, I don't expect games to exceed Mario Galaxy or Prime 3 in terms of visuals... and I now admit that the Nitnendo's choice to throw in so little hardware power was a mistake.

Need for Speed is actually the first time I see a relistic racing game on Wii with licensed cars. I had been wondering if Wii could do a game in the same vein as beautiful asGran Turismo. I am pleased to see that the Wii does not dissapoint.

This sounds familiar. No alarm clock for you this time. I'm yanking off the sheets and dragging you out of bed, because the time when you should have waken up is a long time ago.

Are you sure those Pro Street shots are for the Wii? they look like normal promo shots, which usually use the 360. Anyways, nice thread. Proves what I (or should I say we?) already know. The first Prime 3 shot looks amazing , though.

No more heroes and guilty gear look really crappy. You shouldn't have put them in this list.

Also those pictures for the new need for speed are the same for Wii, PS3, and 360. So their most likely taken from either the 360 or PS3.

The rest of the list is great. Good job.

you call that "vastly improving"? :lol:

oh boy, all of those games look awful by today's standards, and mario galaxy looks way too plasticy (is that a word?). this really isnt an improvement, its more like having standards set way too low - something i've noticed with a lot of wii fans lately. and that nfs is not from the wii ;)

They're posted under the Wii pics.... I haven't seen any worse screens to suggest these arent legit, and until I do I will assume they are legit.

Metroid Prime 1 & 2s screenshots looked far worse than the actual gameplay. There's just something about the Metroid Prime series that screenshots and videos always look blurry, with too much bloom. I guarentee that Metroid Prime 3 will look much better than the screenshots, or at least much cleaner.

P.S. Can anyone see my sig and avatar, because I can't, but I never removed them.
