The Wii is quickly becoming the defacto system of choice for developers looking to make unconventional, original IP’s with low tech visuals. No More Heroes, Blast Works, De Blob, Zack and Wiki, and now Opoona, a turn based RPG with PS2 quality graphics, all fit the low tech/high risk paradigm. Above is a video of the game’s intro, courtesy of GameVideos.com. It’s not the most exciting vid on the internet, but a nice Sunday morning read none the less. 

With all these unique gaming experiences continuing to flood the console, can you still consider yourself a "hardcore" gamer and not own a Wii? Or, in your opinion, is "next-gen" still all about 1080i and games with sweaty, pocky faced protagonists crafted from literally zillions of polygons?

Hit the jump for more Opoona vids.  

Thanks to Justin for the tip.
