These game definitely look like HD Wii games. Try again. 0/2 so far.
Time for baby talk?
I named games that were comparable in terms of genre, feature set, number of characters onscreen, etc. Apples to apples comparison.
But you failed to consider the developer, the year of release, the inclusion of online multiplayer, and so on. Triumph Studios? I think a first party studio is supposed to show the capabilities of a system. Also, games from 2013 can look considerably better than games from 2007 or 2009, as evidenced by titles published by Sony and MGS.
But are you at all surprised? We experienced the same thing with the first animal crossing being moved to the gamecube, as well as Eternal Darkness. Then we had Twilight Princess being ported to the Wii with play controls as basically the only change.
What would it take to overhaul all the textures?
True. It would require financial resources for a game that probably won't sell too well and will not really sell many consoles. As a gamer, I prefer such changes nonetheless.
