Wii
The Wii's graphics are noticeably better than the gamecube's, believe it or not, but not as good as the 360, duh. But at my age, having grown up with the NES and SNES, the graphics are beyond anything I was used to and I rather have the small form factor. It's funny how 2 years ago some people were playing PS2 and then 6 months later all of a sudden were acting as if Wii's graphics were painful to the eyes. I wonder if those people burned their ps2 since to them it must have become utterly unusable overnight when the PS3 came out. Metroid Prime 3 is my favorite game, SM Galaxy is its most revolutionary game. The graphics are an improvement over last gen, but it's best to play on sd tv.

Wii Win?
A bit of a late review, but I have nothing better to do at the moment. I'm just going to cut right to the chase. Nintendo's Wii makes up for its inferior graphics by incorporating different artistic styles (most notably Cel-Shading) into their games. The hard ware is ok. Poor hard-storage will hit Wii users in the future, but compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360, the system has far less glitches and bugs. Great thought was put into the design of the Wii-Mote. It's unique style has already lead other company's to attempt at making a spin-off of the controller. As of now there is a great selection of games out on the Wii, and you can expect some big releases in the future. If you are looking for an affordable gaming system and something new, give the Wii a try.

Great
the wii is the best system out. it is the only next gen system too. the controls are reall cool and fun. the online and multiplayer are getting better, but are ok. you can download tons of games from the 64, nes, snes, genesis, touebographix, and the neogeo. it is a must have system. the only down side is the graphics, there just ok. overall its a gret system.
