It is subtle and it isnt much (ie not full screen) but it is there (final yellow guy), overall the game looks very nice, much better than Elebits. I wonder if there is, and if so which ones, sacrifices had been made to get it.
Plus (gfx wise?).

There goes more so called "experts" knowledge on the GPU going out of the window.
From GamaSutra on the GC TEV, with the new Wii effects in BOLD
* dynamically lit polygons with global and local lights specular highlights
* illumination maps
* reflection mapping
* emboss mapping (shift and subtract of a height field)
* bump mapping (per pixel calculations for diffuse, specular and reflective components)
* projected shadows
* self-shadowing
* shadow volumes
* projected reflections
* layered fog
* polynomial texture mapping
* displacement maps
* multiple texture mapping
* custom dithering
* normal mapping

That bump mapping uses normal mapping.

Normal mapping isn't a new feature of Tev. The version of tev in the Gc was capable of normal mapping.

I like the fact that it was revealed on IGN that the Wii is capable of normal mapping. I like to see what Matt has to say about that. Maybe he'll some stupid claim that Mukaitoge doesn't know what he's talking about.
Matt loves his xbox does he? Baised juvenile twerp.
Then go view the video of the game where you can clearly see the effect being used as noted in said interview.

Not really, but I hate the guy's "I know what I'm talking about and you don't" attitude. I believe it was in this thread a pages back that someone was talking to Matt about normal mapping and Matt said he was ignorant.
Please re-read my post.

I believe he was mainly talking about the "Either way, the TEV supporting normal mapping sounds iffy." part of your comment, Turok.

Iffy? Rogue Leader on the GC had normal mapping. Wii boxing has normal mapping. TEV can do normal mapping. It's not a mystery. It can do advanced shaders as well. Take a look at my newest topic.
Matt visits this site? What's his nick?

Nah he was referencing a post made on IGN were somebody said that Matt was wrong about Wii not being able to do normal mapping ( even though several users such as myself have pointed out that there were GC games that used it along with the matrix on the ps2) and called them ignorant. Now he probably feels like a jackass.
Rouge Leader had emboss. Wii Boxing has nothing that can be remotely called normal mapping. If the TEV can do normal mapping, why does it have to work alongside the indirect texture unit to produce certain per-pixel effects?

Ummm the ring post and the boxing gloves...

Looks like normal mapping to me. On the ring posts.
