What are the Wii specs?

I'm off the opinion (Having played my 360 in RGB on an SDTV already) that once you go HD, there isn't any going back. And while I can appreciate that things like Metroid Prime and Resi 4 where nice looking (I certainly enjoyed them) I still don't think of them as being the top examples of good GFX of the last gen (Riddick, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, God Of War, GT4 all way ahead of them for me) and they certainly are nowhere near as good as say Oblivion on the 360 in HD. Just no comparison at all for me.

Games like Killer 7 too couldn't really look any better even with more processing power.

I've always thought that Killer7 was a bit slow loading when you changed identity, something that more (RAM in this case) would fix.

I think I am unlikely to get my wish for a powerful Wii, unless Nintendo have pulled a really fast one. I'll just have to accept that it will just be a part of a modern gaming setup, together with one of the other consoles and a PC, rather than a do-it-all gaming system in itself.

Killer7 could look better with more processing power, tbh. Look at the very first screens of the game and see how it changed.

The game would benefit immensely from AA to give the lines the artstyle thrives on that clear, fine clarity you can see Capcom were going for. As well as that, Killer7 is also a game that would find its visual impact amplified with a resolution increase on top of the AA, as it'd underscore the way in which game the frames itself (like a high-res comic).

The above isn't aimed particularly at the problems of the Wii - it's unrelated in terms of Killer7, but along with Rez (another game which depends heavily on fine lines) AA and resolution increases would add the clarity such simple graphical styles usually build on for their smoothness. Viewtiful Joe gets away with it though.

RE: Killer7 I absolutely agree with you Concept. Even just AA would really help the game.

Oh well. If only Nintendo would release the darn thing anyway, then we could just forget about the spec wibbling and get on with the games.

i still think that cause we all know the wii wont be powerful, and are expecting only GC level graphics, we wont be focussing on "jomg does this look next gen enough?" like we are with every ps3/360 screenshot/game. in fact it just means we might be pleasently suprised in places.
