Attn reets:
1) The "graphics argument" was created by this retarded exchange:
---
General consensus is that the WiiWare version is better.
Better...how? As in, Wii does simple graphics better, or what?
Well, there's that, but a sideways Wiimote also imitates an NES controller better.

A) I want to see The Chef's data in support of this "general consensus"
B) Glorb's innocent question
C) Which ShadowBrian used to say the Wii "does simple graphics better". Uh, no it doesn't! Being bad at good graphics doesn't make you good at bad graphics.
2)Exactly. And doubly so if you want to try and trick yourself into thinking it looks any different on any other system for the purposes of promoting said system(s).
It DOES look different between the systems. Obviously the
graphics are the same everywhere, but the Wii only outputs images in 480p via analog component cables while 360 and PS3 use digital HDMI at up to 1080p. This means:
i) If you're playing on a cathode ray tube,
Mega Man 9 will look identical between all systems.
ii) If you're playing on an HDTV,
Mega Man 9 will look significantly worse on Wii due to lower resolution output and the inherent impurities of an analog signal.
3) Note that the 360 version is strictly superior to PS3 since the 360 one has achievements but the PS3 one does not have trophies.
4) Taking all this into account, the 360 version is clearly best to me. The Wii controller is better for this game, but not better enough to be worth the resolution and achievement point sacrifice. For someone who doesn't care about their gamerscore and has a bad TV or is blind, the Wii version would be the better choice.
