Hmmm, I wonder what will all those naysayers say now after reading this:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Definitely stole the the show. The graphics looked amazing -- better than Halo 2 on the Xbox without a doubt -- and the levels showed off sparkling details, proving the Wii is far more powerful than the Gamecube. Out of all the games we played, the Wii controller seemed most at home with Metroid.

When I predicted Wii will look better than Xbox and certainly more powerful, I was shot down within few posts.

definetly a buy! By the way, how did you come across the news and observer? Raleigh is my hometown and where my folks sill reside

I wouldn't trust comments about how one game looks better than another without full resolution (and current) screenshots.

But I found a website with some screens that do display graphical splendor:

The snowboarding game also has some nice effects. Sadly, I don't really enjoy snowboarding and trick-style games. ;-(

When Metroid 3 comes out I hope it will help me to forget all those rushed Ubisoft launch games...
