I have some kind of a thought going around in my mind. Im simply not impressed with the Graphics of the Wii. They look like they are using a slightly updated Gamecube graphics chip. Nothing special

It seems the graphics will be similar to the XBOX version at best. Nothing better here. sad

Thats Nintendo for ya. It seems they do whatever THEY think is neat. Rather than try to give us what we want. Its like they say "They'll want what we make" as opposed to "Lets make what they want."

I think Nintendo just realizes they can't compete with 360 and ps3 so they take an alternate path to get cash. Make a cheap system with gimmicky game play that short minded gamers will flock to. Seems to be working anyway.

No there not idiots. The definition of next gen use to be graphics and processing. That was the only difference each gen. Snes graphics kills nes, n64 transitioned to 3d gcn killed n64. So saying a developer that looks toward graphics is not idiotic. Would a developer want to make games for the snes right now? no, the systems graphics and power is inadequate for there visions of the game they want to create. So saying graphics aren't important is like saying that snes is just as good as current systems which is self evidently false.

I care about graphics just as much as everything else. One of my favorite games, for example could have poor/outdated graphics, yet I would still play it. In this case, for MKA on the Wii or really any MK game, I want overall quality. MKDA was good overall I think. Got over it quickly. MKD had basically the same, yet the Puzzle and Chess Modes made me play it more. I want a game that excels in all, or almost every area. If I were to rate/review it, I would hope for an 8.0 or higher for each thing- trying to adjust to it. Graphics are just a portion of that for me. If the graphics interfere with other areas of the game, I may reconsider...

Hmm... I would say MKDA, MKD, and MKA are equal in graphics. MKA was quite choppy... but it gave it a classic feel. I am dissapointed with MKA overall, and graphics maybe would've been given between a 6.5 and 7.5 for me. MKDA has great ones I thought, and MKD freshened em up (hehe... lol). MKA's seemed choppier to me. That is probably the best way I can describe it.

I kind of think the same thing. Maybe they shodded down the graphics to fit more stuff into it? I dunno just a thought.

I do believe people are getting a little to crazy when it comes to graphics. And while the Wii graphics are'nt astounding. They're still a nice peace of eye candy IMO.
