Yes, Galaxy (and Galaxy 2) ran at 60fps.
Oh BTW, originally, Sunshine on GameCube was running at 60fps (Space World 2001, E3 2002) but Nintendo changed it to 30fps before release.
I remember seeing Sunshine on CNN @ E3 2002, and it was 60fps.
oh here's a thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26157
I'm sure the 50% extra fillrate that Wii has over GameCube would allow Wii to run Sunshine at a rock solid 60fps.
I'd love an HD remaster on Wii U.
That'd be fantastic!
Monday: Sony brings the laughs. (and, being honest, can do a pretty decent sizzle reel)
Tuesday: Nintendo brings the "wow"s.
Wednesday: Microsoft brings the "meh"s.

turrible. was there ever any indication to why they ended up doing that?

I'd bet because of all the water effects and large stages.
That's right. (The years are beginning to blend for me.)
Man.. that'd be sweet, too. What a climax it would be!
How common are last-minute conference content changes, I wonder..

Not very, since I believe it all has to be screened before showing.

No doubt.
I think a Sunshine sequel would look much better on the Wii U than a Galaxy sequel. Imagine if Delfino Plaza was rendered with an amazing lighting system and better water physics.
Oh and I've barely found out that the "realistic" Link is actually from a real game. Nonetheless, I was inspired to do this:
That's what I figured. It's incredibly tightly-planned, I would imagine, but one-liners or ad-libs (especially referencing a meme-in-the-making from the day before), for example, might be something that can be added.
Silly, Sleep-Deprived Idea: Nintendo should hire the writers from the Colbert Report to create zingers for that week. Headline after headline rollin'-in..
Yup, both 1 and 2 ran at 60fps.
It can't even maintain 30fps all that well. It's pretty easy to drop Sunshine into the teens in most levels.

I was told in general, so I assume that wouldn't be limited to the chipset. I felt/feel Autodesk and Havok and other things along this line that may or may not be publicly mentioned are included as well.

I must admit I haven't played it enough to know this, but I'll take your word for it ^__^

Regarding what you said in the other thread about ram, since WiiU is most likely going with eDRAM is that an indicator that it isn't using GDD5? Not sure if that has been said and I missed it

My RAM dream is that Wii U has both GDDR5 and eDRAM.
It pretty consistently throws more geometry on the screen than either Galaxy, fwiw. And you kind of have to be trying for the big framerate drops--it runs fine for the vast majority of normal gameplay.
Dammit, you're making Pikmin look like Seaman.

It is likely. We know it will have edram.

What the heck is this crap about AAAA and AAAAA?
It's AAA or Triple A and it already means top of the line, there's no quadruple A or quintuple A.
Microsoft is doing it. Nintendo is still stuck in the past.

You'd have to go deep within the first thread to find the most talk on this, and there was some talk in the second thread about it. It's not a total indicator though
Another plausible scenario is 1.5GB of GDDR5 on a 96-bit bus. That's six chips, a simple bus to build and still has the eDRAM to compensate. But something I found back during the first thread is that the higher latency of GDDR5 becomes very noticeable when clocked to a certain point according to a test I saw. Based on that, if Nintendo's target clocks are within that realm, it may be better for them not to use GDDR5.
Nothing actually substantial/confirmed.
Some rumblings of FFvXIII, GTAV and F1 being ported to Wii U but again, people might be reading too much/letting the hype get better of them.
I think wsippel found some evidence that the Wii U was already being worked on since 2009 or something like that.
and plenty of photoshopped Miya-Samus with killer curves going around.
I know, right? By cashing in on the last-last-gen Wii, they've stunted their technological ability to produce games that advance the hobby. How can they possibly reach for that last "A" or create game changing experiences when they're not even up to HD standards?

Mario Galaxy 3/Universe with Tanooki suit and ability to take power ups between levels like SM3DL, please.

That would be amazing. Imagine fighting Raphael the Raven in outer space, in full 3D ala Dino Pirahna. I always suspected that Mode7 planet battle partially inspired Galaxy.
Before SMG2's release I was hoping that being able to replay the entire game as Yoshi would be a 120 star reward.

He did talk about some stuff like that.
Well for years I kept saying I was going to get back into tech learnin', it just took new consoles to finally push me. ^_^ Though I'm nowhere near the level of some others on this board. And here is that test I was talking about.
