Wii for you and Wii for me

[Blight]

Even if they aren't for some, graphics are important to a lot of people.

I know, even though it sometimes defies logic. But even though I dig game play so much more, I do it too. Looking at oblivion is like "Holy Shat!" That game is gorgeous. But I don't think any of the games on Wii look bad. Some have graphic styles that in many ways kinda make graphics power moot. Mostly I'm talking about cel shading, which I am a HUGE fan of. But there are also some other techniques that I think you might be able to pull off with the make it's games have that oh so shinny look. Metriod Prime 3 Looks great. Brawl looked amazing. And the new Zelda just has a look that I think only Nintendo could have done, and it was for Gamecube. I mean, sure you look at Gears of War, and Zelda doesn't look as good, but if someone calls it ugly, they are blind or psycho fanboy. We aren't talking about the difference between 2d and 3d here, but for many games, subtle resolution differences that get totally knocked down when NOT looking at a HD TV.

The kiosks will be key. I work in the Electronics department at Wal-Mart, and if it wasn't for the setup we have to demo Guitar Hero, the thing wouldn't have sold a third as well. But people walk by and see people playing it, and it gets them thinking, and excited, and they just have to try it. If they can set Wii up that way they can stick it in between the 360 and PS3 and people will wait in line to get their hands on it's strange remote like controller so they can bowl or play tennis or hit home runs. I read at IGN that Nintendo is working with retail companies to get a logical setup so people can play this thing. Once they do people will at least realize they are for real and for fun, even if they don't leave the store with one. Nintendo has a lot of minds to change, but they can do it with showing and playing.
