I have about 2 dozen Wii U games ranging from the fun and simple NintendoLand to the gorgeous looking Rayman Legends.  I know graphics is only a small part of what makes a great game but it is still important.  What do you think is the best looking WIi U game out at the moment? After debating between the likes of Trine 2, NanoAssault Neo, Rayman Legends, MK8, Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World

I give the nod to a remaster of a nearly perfect game that is the LoZ:WWHD:

 

Can't wait for the "NEW" cel-shaded Zelda coming out next year!!! It'll be a classic!

After playing wind waker HD, I don't understand why people still hates cell-shaded Zelda game. It might not be best, but it is still not a bad decision

The great thing is, there are MANY great looking games on the Wii U. Especially 1st party titles. Great graphics coupled with superior art style makes games like SM3DW, DKCTF, MK8 stand out. 

 

Then we have Bayonetta 2 coming out in NA and other areas October 24th. The game looks spectacular especially in some of the city areas. Great environments and set pieces.

I highly recommend reviving this thread here. It is a screen shot thread with some spoilers.

@sorceror12 agreed despite the supposed superiority in specs of other current gen consoles; Nintendo's artistic style and finally being in HD really makes for beautiful games!!!

I always thought Nintendo Land looks amazing. Especially the lighting... love when the train takes off into the air. It looks stunning. Zelda mini game looks great

Cool...I'll look into it!!!

I think Zombi U at first got a bad rap because the game looks ok and not spectacular. (time restraints and budget had a lot to do with it) The game has amazing gameplay, there are some times I thought the character models could have been better but some of the scenery.. and again that Wii U lighting helps capture the mood perfectly.

 

I like threads like this. Makes me want to go back and revisit some of the games again.

Yeah despite the time constraints and lower budget (Ubisoft is unicorn tongueing that this hasn't made a profit) it turned out to be a decent/good game comparable to some mid-late gen games on the Xbox 360!!!

Sonic Lost World really has some nice moments with the level design.

 

 

[DarkMagician77]

I mean ZombieU sure isn't going to win awards in visuals but it ain't that far from many PS3/360 top tier First Person games.

 

ZombiU

 

 

L4D2

 

 

Dead Space 3

Sonic Lost World really has some nice moments with the level design.

 

 

 

The Wiii U has plenty under the hood for what Nintendo needs.

I REALLY hope Nintendo makes the new Zelda game 1080P at 60 FPS, the frame drops in WW HD are really disappointing...

An open world Zelda doesn't need to be at 60 fps. A solid 30fps is what it will be. Also the drops in Wind Waker, I am pretty sure they were there in the Game Cube version thus trying to remedy those would require a ton of extra work. Most frame drops occur during some sailing portions, and water cannon.

With an open world zelda game there's probably lots of stuff that will be going on on the world map, will most likely cause lots of frame drops and lag to happen...

What Zelda U needs at this moment is more contrast in the colors, like this:

But it looks amazing already and I'm sure it will possibly be one of the prettiest games ever. WWHD is at this moment one of the best looking adventure games ever IMO, however they could have put more effort into it. Some poly counts are still very average and some textures just look like GC textures with upped resolution. Ultimately, I think SM3DW might be the prettiest Wii U game. It's the best looking 3D platformer I've ever played for sure.

 

I also want you guys to look at the official, amazingly hi-res screenshots for Zelda U: http://www.nintendo....60.html#Galerie

It just looks unlike any game I've ever seen before and it's hard to spot any flaws. This is what the Wii U was made for.

Never experienced framedrops in WWHD, just on the Gamecube.. but  I agree that 30fps is sufficient. I'd rather have my game be 1080p at 30fps than 720p at 60fps.

Since Zelda been mentioned I will show another upcoming game that is flat out georgous.
