I want to push both sides of this argument into the furnace.
On the review side - i see the point and i've argued the same toss on numerous times with various platforms ("why is MH3rd on PSP?!" "Why is Epic Mickey on Wii?!" etc etc). I "get over it" but that's not to say i don't secretly yearn for games on a nintendo platform to be better, but ultimately it's a rant that has been done to death and there's little millage left in the argument... except with one other angle....
... the other side, ah! Nintendo fans! Look - there's a fair few in your number already starting to mention "best looking versions" of 3rd party games and it does seem that some of the specualtion about the possible upper end level of performance of the Wii U shows that Nintendo fans do want things to look better. Also - how many times have we seen amazing shots of Xenoblade posted by Nintendo fans (running under dolphin!!!) ??
So - it's a tired argument , but whilst i still think there's some validity in it - it just doesn't need to dominate a review. Maybe mention it and move on but after X years of Wii , you KNOW what you are getting at this point in time. But _some_ Nintendo fans have to stop deluding themselves that , deep down, that they're GAGGING FOR IT!
he's not a graphics whore!
we all are, just some of us lie about it more than others. Even if you are hardcore retro and don't like "new" games graphics - you'll still have a level of graphics whorism on your platform of choice.
