Nalemor -> they look bout the same to me from what I saw in the extended interview. They are just two different styles. And what's with all these links from another game!? A bit off topic, don't you think?

My point is, you can't expect, for example, a game like Gears of War to look like Halo, or Metal Gear Solid 4 to look like Ratchet and Clank. Spyro has to look a certain way or it just wouldn't be Spyro.

Don't worry SpyroGirlCazy, we'll tell u how it's like. Still even though we are the first to get it, it still feels so far away. And the worst part is the only thing that's been going through my whole head this summer is Spyro!!!

Sorry for the double post dark52. An edit button on the main page would help a lot with that. Also sorry if this is off topic, I'm not spaming I'm trying to show Nalemor what the Wii is capable of.

My brother gave me that info Nalemor, and he is pretty savvy when it comes to games and consoles. The reason the games have low quality graphics is because it is a nintendo system it is geared towards Mario and that sort of thing. Have you played Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess? That game is for Wii and I hear it has superb graphics.
