TheCodeisBosco 04/05/12 9:43:00 AM #8:	*Leebo86 posted...* Do they even consider the graphics of the Wii a mistake? I want to believe so, because the 3DS - the first system they released after the Wii - is a legitimately, honest-to-God powerful system. You couldn't say that about the DS in '04, and you certainly couldn't say that about the Wii in '06. As such, I like to think they understand the importance of graphics more, but this response to the rumors makes me have my doubts. I get that solid gameplay is very important, but why can't we have solid gameplay and powerful visuals? -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?
