GV: The Conduit Review

GV writes: "When the Wii’s hardware specs were announced gamers were floored. Why, they wondered, would Nintendo come out with a system with hardware only marginally better than that of the current generation? Why would they ignore gamers’ cries for superior graphics? Why were they calling it the Wii? Their initial complaints were silenced when a few games took advantage of the system’s unique features, but a resistance movement began when Wii titles began coming out with graphics that didn’t even hit the heights reached by the last generation. Everyone knew that the system couldn’t push out anything huge, but no one seemed ready to explain why developers were treating the Wii, with capabilities beyond those of the original Xbox, like it was a Nintendo 64."
