An idea for wii game graphics - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

As we know, graphics isnt a huge factor and doesnt make a game, however if you actually believe they can't add to the game you may have an issue of some sort. They are a very welcome addition to games. And on wii its hard to find games bearing good graphics outside of nintendo and retro games. Anyway, I have an idea . How about game makers make dual disc games. As in, games that span two discs instead of 1 (i think dual layered discs are like this too, but they dont work for everyone i hear). This may seem inconvenient, but doesnt using 2 discs mean u can put more data in total on the game, also meaning u can improve the quality of graphics, a i and other things u may otherwise struggle to manage with quality on 1 disc. Just an idea with no knowledge of how devs really make great graphics, so if you can help or correct this idea, much feedback is welcome.

Disc storage space has nothing to do with it. The Wii can hold as many hi-def textures as the 360 can since they use the same media (DVD). The problem is the RAM - you need a lot more RAM to load those textures in and display them in the game.

Of course that doesn't mean it can't be done - it's good programming and space management on the system itself that's needed. You'll find some games with great high-detailed textures, others with terribly blocky ones. Depends on if developers put the effort in really.

I have an idea: be happy!!!!!! Let's not push for the Wii to be like the PS3

No one said we're pushing that, discussing ideas of how to make the wii's graphics better with the hardware it COMES with, is not saying lets upgrade to 1080p or steal ps3 parts, its just saying how can we push the limits of the wii and make the games graphics, a i, and overall game performance/quality better

Edit nobody's unhappy here, its all love and ideas
