Graphics do not SOLELY make a game great, I agree, but I can't help but feel that it was wrong for Nintendo to neglect a significant improvement on visuals.
Yes the wiimote is interesting and all, and will surely be incredibly fun, but after seeing some footage of PS3 games today I feel that it is ridiculous to say immensely improved graphics do not evolve video games. I'm not comfortable with the fact that its basically GC graphics again for a few years. After seeing this for example (White Knight Story - PS3) :

...I have to say to myself, "how could I and others NOT want Zelda/RPGs on Wii to look like that?"
Visuals are a massive part of gaming and create the whole experience. Games can be great without great visuals, yes, like WarioWare, but how can you say Resident Evil 4 for example would be just as good with ..Sega Saturn like graphics.
Take Shenmue for instance, my favourite game. What makes me love it so much is the story and the interaction that is created and presented beautifully using awesome graphics and sound making the whole experience so immersive. Visuals are a major part of the balance.
End of my rant. I might of gone a bit over the top as a result of being quite tired and just watching tons of PS3 videos, but please discuss
