Resident Evil 4 showed us just how great a game could look on the GameCube. Wii is more powerful, but I have yet to see a game tap the hardware the way that RE4 did. I hope we start to see developers really push the Wii's graphic capabilities in second generation titles. That’s a good point Cameron.

It's true that the hardware is very much like Nintendo's last console, but developers have shown us quite a mixed bag in regards to graphics. Elebits has wonderful control mechanics, which are only plagued by subpar graphics. I know Nintendo isn't in it for the visual advances typically shown in the jump to the next generation, but graphics are still a factor in a game's playability. Just look at Crytek's Far Cry for the Wii. Zeus himself would probably condemn that game based on it's looks alone, not to mention to horrible AI.
