We'll see. :dunno:



As far as graphics go ... this was the risk they ran to keep costs down. The Wii is extremely similar to a GameCube from a hardware standpoint. The looks are only going to get worse as time passes.
That depends Drew. The Wii is 2x's more powerful than the GC but the GC was the most powerful system in the last system war graphics wise. So if you remember what RE4 looked like, it can still look pretty good.

I was looking for some sort of comparison screen shots ...

Sonic and Mario look pretty darn close.


The GameCube, PS2, and Xbox all had 1 common factor ... the TV. Back in 2001 when all systems appeared, you had 1 type of TV.

With progressive scan resolutions getting all sorts of buzz, it's impossible for a machine that maxes out at 480 to compete with the 720 and 1080 big boys.

If you were to take Madden 08 and go side by side, there's no way the Wii can hold it's own.



Now, Mario on a Wii will look the best, by default. This is why there's barely any 3rd party support for a Nintendo console. The only thing that sells are the franchise names.

Hopefully the strong hardware sales will bring some back. (Why develop for a PS3 system that has 1/8th of the installation base of a Wii?)

Werd. The PS2's Final Fantasy 12 and GT4 smoked everything in sight. :eh:
