Here's how I look at it: Graphics can be simple, yet beautiful, but if it sucks, then it really sucks. Great graphics isn't always about the highest polygon count or resolution it's about how you present your game. That's why some DS games today can look absolutely stunning, while high resolution titles like G.I. Joe looks like a waste of space.
Like it or not, graphics is a big part of the experience, and those who disregard it completely is only fooling themselves.

too often when people think of graphics they think of realism rather than style that fits the game and adds something unique to the experience. Too often developers make this mistake too and produce games with realistic graphics that suck. This is a major problem with PS3/360 games.

It's all relative. I went ooh and ahh over some of the best looking rubble ever in a game during Gears of War 2 and while playing Killzone 2 (at a friends house, of course), but some don't care for the war torn look many FPS games have.

Little's King's Story is beautiful It uses so many bright, wondrous graphics that along with the music, make it seems like it was one of those great movies at the film festivals that everyone raves about but never hears about again... I'm afraid that will be exactly what happens to Little King's Story...

Graphics have advanced for enough that it doesn't make or break gameplay anymore. It's not like Atari games where you can't tell what is what. You can make a game with 8 bit graphics and as long as the gameplay is designed well, it will be a good game. Otherwise people wouldn't be interested in buying Virtual Console games.
