"operating with a full 1280x720 framebuffer."

MasterCornholio4557d ago

That's strange. From what people were saying on the internet I thought the game would be 1080P 60FPS. Still even at 720P this game is a contender for GOTY like the TLOU.

mikeslemonade4557d ago (Edited 4557d ago )

60 frames locked is impressive but...

I'm sorry but you Nintendo fans exaggerate like no other. "When you are given one yard, you take one mile"

No the WiiU cannot hang with PS4 or X1. Ever thought that the guys making Mario are the ones that basically decided what parts were gonna be in the system. They're also been making the game for a very long time. And aesthetically the camera angle is locked, the art style also paves the way for a more efficient output, and the draw distance is rather simple.

GOTY:
1.GTA5
2.TLOU
3.Mario- It's not as good as a single player 3D mario

ShinMaster4556d ago

The internet said New Super Mario Bros U was gonna be 1080p as well.
Nope.

Concertoine4557d ago

after seeing much more beautiful and demanding games like bayonetta 2 and mario kart 8 and smash 4 in 1080p 60fps for wii u, i think this proves that 3d wrold is:
1. one of the earlier wii u titles in development, as nintendo had trouble developing in hd.
or 2. was made in 720p to lower the game size to the minuscule 2 GB it has on the eshop.
or hell, maybe its like nano assault neo and they couldnt tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. sure this will be disagreed for desecrating the almighty 1080p xD but there are many games with downgraded resolutions that people dont even KNOW about. like alan wake at 560p and conker's BFD at 240 (despite being called one of the prettiest n64 games).

triforce794557d ago

Your right they wanted to keep memory size low for eshop i think,because 1080p would of doubled the 2 gb they achieved...

_QQ_4557d ago

"almighty 1080p" 60 frames is more important. when it comes to specs. Performance>all.

herbs4557d ago

Why is Gabenbra's comment being hidden for trolling?
Mikeslemonade the camera is not always locked only in certain spots and it is never used to hide draw distances every level is completely rendered whether on screen or not. There is actually a free camera mode using the Gamepad in almost every level, click the icon in the bottom right corner...
Also everyone this game would not benefit that much from 1080p native the lighting and depth of field effects Nintendo are using make all the jaggies disappear, everything looks sharp and soft at the same time.

Dehnus4557d ago

Because some fanboys cannot take it when someone is happy about their Wii U. They go in Tantrum mode then, and blame everybody. To them "Southpark" latest 3 episodes is reality. Without the playing outside, as they don't come out of the house. But they feel it is just like game of thrones.

saphiron4557d ago

Where did i get the idea that this game was going to be 1080p? Im shure i read it somewhere. Well roumors obviosly.

Game looks really fun no mather...But i shure would have liked a Mario "Universe" game with the best from 64 (Still the best I think) and galaxy games.

Reeze4557d ago

3D World is honestly either first or second on my ranked list of Mario games. It's really amazing.

Improvements I would like to see:
*Maybe a Captain Toad's Adventures DLC or separate mode?
*A mode where there is no time limit, but is instead focused on exploration.
*A level designer would also be awesome.

It's still probably the best game I've played on the Wii U.

MsmackyM4557d ago

Nintendo is a masterclass when it comes to game development. Unfortunately not many publishers can afford to give the amount of time and polish as Nintendo when it comes to game development and it shows. Nintendo software has long legs and maintains a premium price in software. Other publishers have to drop the price of their software shortly after release to try and keep the sales moving.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi83d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer83d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot83d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno83d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay83d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno82d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK82d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
