Just out of curiosity, could you post the source of that?

Sounds legit.

Also Scribblenauts is omigod graphics so I'm totally amazed at the technical feats it is accomplishing.

BOW DOWN TO THE NINTENDO MASTER RACE.

FSAA and 1080p? Heh, so much for the WiiU being "underpowered".

Let's just hope it compares to next-gen systems. I'm not looking forward to a system that looks better than the PS3 and 360, but gets creamed by the PS4 and 720.

I doubt the gap in graphics will be super noticeable to the point of making gamers foam at the mouth, especially if games will be multiplatform

The difference isn't really that noticiable until you are using a display bigger than 32" anyway. Even most cable companies only broadcast at 720p for their high def. Screens bigger than 32" will show the difference quite a bit more especially if their scan rate isn't fast enough. Most of the videos I take I usually use 60fps at 720p and you can barely tell the difference from 1080 60pfs on the smaller screens, if you can tell at all. Here is one example at 720 60pfs https://vimeo.com/13978989

A bit more news regarding the Wii U's 720/1080 "status".

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/06/18/nintendo-games-will-run-at-1080p-soon-after-launch/

Granted, it might not be that confidence-inspiring that he said "I think", but it's still something to consider, especially from Nintendo's marketing executive.

But if this is true, this makes me wonder even more why the launch games won't run in 1080p, when games will be running 1080p "shortly" after system launch.

To be fair, is Nintendo Land a game that really needed to be displayed in 1080p? Or at all, for that matter?

I would say so, if it's going to be the game most used by the most users most of the time.

Plus all games, including Nintendo Land, could be updated to run in 1080p, presumably.

Considering that 1080p is now the norm for TVs, I would be surprised if Nintendo didn't make 1080p an iron clad standard for all WiiU generation games.

But I haven't really been following the WiiU news, so I wouldn't know.

A) Really, will it be?
B) Even if it was, the audience that would flock to the game would not be the same crowd that focuses on the resolution the system is putting out.

Eh, maybe you're right. I think they will go with 1080p, but maybe they won't.

Wait a minute. Nintendoland is a game? I thought it was going to a theme park in Japan where you can meet kawaii Kirby . IN 1080p RESOLUTION.

Honestly, that would be my idea of hell.

Because I'm cold, twisted and bitter innit.

Why is this thread still open?

In nintendoland, Is Kevin going to make a guess star appearance? Mother Brain and Doc Willy will spit on everyone who doesn't get it.
