Graphics and... stuff

[Medri Fogmatio]

Technically this debate about graphics is just really a continuation from Nintendo and Sega's console war. Provided Sega did get serious props for incredible graphics for the time. However as we see now, that "war" is still continuing to this day with the advent of the PS3 and the 360. I really don't think Nintendo is a poor judge of deciding graphics, but they aren't trying to make ultra realistic Mario. or facial hair on Link. Sony and Microsoft (mostly sony falls under this category) they don't really make their own games, and if they do it is usually only at least 5, so they resort to making a powerful system and depend on 3rd party producers to dump their HD games onto their systems. Nintendo however has their own games that they produce their-selves. I admire that very much of them, and I have supported their creativity for years now.

Graphics should only really be a perk of game-play, and rather the actual feel, plot and artistic styling should be the key components. Why do you think you guys download games from the Virtual Console or even on other consoles? Well it is the game-play and feel the game gives you.

I do admit I wish the Wii had the capability to have powerful graphics and the controls that Nintendo has introduced. But the truth is the Wii can't handle it. But I find it to be a fair compromise to sacrifice graphics for game-play.
