I was only able to play on a few games and one of those games a Zombie shoot em up game called ZombU and basically the plot line is you're in Buckingham palace and everyone's a zombie, anyway, I found there to be no real improvement in the graphics from the original Wii, granted these games were 3 month old development builds, but I've seen some development builds with great graphics. The console comes out November 30.

It's been playable at the Target I work at for like 2 weeks.

Even though I know it most likely lwon't have a lot of 3rd party support, I have to play ZombiU and Pikmin and the next 3D Mario. I figure enough good 1st party titles will come out in it's lifetime to warrant a purchase. Just gotta resist the urge to sell when they start putting out slimmer, larger screened controllers.
