Not that bad. The Wii can produce good gfx, it doesn't compete with 360 and PS3, but it can do much better than the PS2, which is why it's such a pity to see PS2 ports.

The gamecube was already stronger than the PS2 (not by a lot, that's true, but it was), then you had the xbox which was even stronger. The Wii is stronger, but it won't be shown until people stop making lame PS2 ports.
I wouldn't see Metroid Prime 3 (or SMG too) being run on the PS2 or the Xbox.

So yeah, the Wii isn't as strong as 360 or PS3, but terrible gfx? Nah. I don't look at Twilight Princess (even if it's only a upped GC game)/MP3 or SMG and go "UGH THAT'S UGLY". I play gorgeous PC games and while the Wii doesn't compete, I still don't find the gfx to hinder my fun in any way.

As long as that power is used to make stylish environments, it looks good. It's just that most devs think "yeah, the Wii isn't as strong as other consoles, so we can take a shortcut anyway...".

(a few studios are making Wii gfx engine that could show what it can do soon, which is a relief because damn... Lazyness is not fun)
