The first shots from the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed have emerged as the blue wonder returns to Nintendo.
Sonic Unleashed is the next-generation installment of the all-out speed franchise seeing versions for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PS2. Dimps will be handling development for the Wii and PS2 versions, having had previous success with Sonic Advance and Rush.
A pair of scanned screens from Nintendo Power recently emerged on GoNintendo complete with comparision shots to the Xbox 360 version:
Visually it does seem to have a fair bit of similarity between the versions, though appears to be far less shiny and far more murky/grainy.
Thanks to Superlink for the tip.

It is possible they haven't finished polishing the game fully yet. Or maybe it's because Sonic Team aren't fully developing this version.
This could even been an unfinished level, that still needs more work. Or even bad scan quality.

Or maybe juuuuust maybe it's what the Wii version will look like. To be honest I actually thought the game looked pretty decent, i dunno what your all complaining about.

What are they complaining about? Sonic looks flat, his shade of blue is too dark and has less polygons than the secret rings model and lacks the specular highlights and texture effect the secret rings model boasted.
They could have put a light rim on Sonic to make him look close to the 360 model, but no he looks like he came from the the Dreamcast games.
Also like said before the sky dome looks horrible. This game reaks of sub PS2 quality so I guess I'll be buying the PS3 version then.
I don't care about all that graphic's don't matter nonsense because this looks like shizz.

Secret Rings - first generation Wii game:
Looks a lot better imo
Still, I am grateful that there's a Wii version in the first place, but really hope they can push the machine further as SatSR is over a year old now, so really the follow up game on Wii should be a lot better.

Yeah those Secret Rings shots look a heck of a lot better than this game and a host of other crappy Wii efforts. It's just sad.

It's sad that the 2nd screenshot looks close to Unleashed on 360. Not CLOSE close, but close enough. Why not just use the Secret Rings engine DiMPs?

Are Nintendo Power sure these are screenshots from the Wii version?
it looks worse than some DC games.
See how much more colour in sonic there is in sonic adventure 2, although the polygon count doesn\'t look too great.( Edited 30.06.2008 00:00 by Stulaw )

Ugh..not the whole colour thing again. That DC screenshot looks very ass compared to the unleashed screen.
And I'm sure theres more than one level in the game all with there own appropriate colour scheme.

Did you guys even read me? The reason it looks worse than SatSR is because:
- It's not a SatSR sequel
- It's probably the same as the PS2 version
You all knew it'd be the same as the PS2 version, I dunno why you were expecting it to be better than SatSR, built from ground up as a Wii exclusive.
One day I will be a real life anime.

It's a FUCKING DESERT LEVEL. What colour do you want it to be?! Pink?!
And that Dc shot is absolutely shockingly bad. How can you think it's anywhere near that bad.

One thing your all forgetting is the fact, these screenshots may be taken from he PS2 version of the game, just because the PS2 & Wii version are the exact same game, doesn't mean these screenshots are from the Wii engine/version. It could be a simple thing as these could be screenshots from the PS2 game, where'as the Wii version could be slightly more graphically enhanced.

Why would it be graphically enhanced? Developers last gen worked on PS2 versions of games and straight ported them to GC and XBox almost all the time, now people are expecting companies to make 3 versions of the same game?

I think at best all you can hope for in the Wii version is a very solid frame rate.

Bah, comparing scans with direct output screenshots doesn't work that well.
202L21 Shy Guy
Yeah, it's pretty obvious that the colors look so bad because it's a scan.
However you can still tell that the sky is ugly, there seem to be no shadows, and Secret Rings had better lighting.
I didn't really expect anything better, but it's still upsetting.

It might not be more graphically enhanced, but i've seen cases where they've done that before.
Besides dimps are making the ps2 & wii versions, which means it'd only be two versions of the game, since sonic team are taking care of the ps3/360 versions.

Seems like not all developers upp their effort on Wii these days. I said some weeks prior they would. But Sega... Come on, even if it isn't comparable to 360, because of the lack of hardware power, you can do much better then that! You have to ditch your firstgen engines and use new ones.
Ask the guys at High Voltage for example. At least their tech demo looks fine...

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
