Seriously either Nintendo has found out how to make bullshots or the game really looks this good.

chances are 3d world looks just as good as the pics or better in person. i remember thinking the same thing about mario kart 8 , until i saw it in person at best buy .

The lighting is really nice, these shots show how objects are affected by the surrounding environment and how more reflective surfaces show more detail.

This isn't new technology by any means, it's just put to good use here.

I haven't commented much on this game, but it's seriously looking to be the best 3D Mario ever. The last one, 3D Land, was my favorite. This looks like that on steroids, with the sort of inventive spirit that infused the Galaxy games. Plus, multiplayer looks ACE.

My component output on my Wii is starting to generate lots of artifacts so I'm thinking about picking up a Wii U. Those screenshots are definitely helping to sell me on the system; they look brilliant. I might even push back my PS4 purchase to next year and grab a Wii U instead.

Get Wind Waker and prepare to be blown away by an "old" ass game
And for those wondering, Galaxy 2 looks pretty damn good on the Gamepad

I've been very critical about Nintendo and the Wii U for a while now, but these pictures actually make the game look quite tempting (especially the ones that show off areas that don't look like the same old levels from Mario 3D Land). I'm not sure that my interest rises to the level of 'pay $300+the cost of the game to play this', but with that Wind Waker HD bundle available and that Monolith Soft game coming out down the road....
 
The stuff i used there was by the notorious Wii U haters in here, OF course there are alot of people with different opinions on GAF that i respect. I just wanted to post some of the super ridiculus things ive read about Wii Us capabilities over the last year.

Sure, don't worry about it, I just didn't want any misconceptions going around. It's all in good fun.

Woah WAIT HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Its the new Offscreen Wii mode that came with the latest major firmware update.
The Gamepad has a sensor bar built in so you can still play with Wiiremote+Nunchuck as if it was a regular Wii TV setup.

Game looks very sharp. Don't mind the grain on that pic. Its a phone screenshot.

Wasn't impressed by this game at first. Thought Koizumi and Co might finally let me down. And yeah, to say my opinion has changed with each reveal would be something of an understatement.

The game is beautiful but nothing is really mindblowing to me. Very nice lighting and DOF effects, gorgeous art, but also low res textures and fairly low-poly models about.

I was with you pre-edit.

But there's nothing low poly about any of it. All edges intended to be rounded are rounded, which should be the point of any poly count. It's not likely throwing around more than any given scene from a PS3/360 title, but it's not really needed if the count is there where it... counts. Some of the texture work is lower res than I'd expect, but nothing that actually hinders the appearance.

It more than low poly, or "next-gen" just looks like a really good use of resources creating a beautiful game.

Indeed, I was trying to say that it does look good, but nothing here impresses me to the point of thinking they could be bullshots. Objects and characters don't really look like something out of the league of this current generation.

Is anyone else warming up to the see through warp pipes?

-It helps split people up and they not bumping into each other
-It allows something else to do instead of the normal walk to warp pipe
-It adds more puzzles

Gorgeous. Please be 1080p.

It's not.

Why are there arrow signs everywhere?

Early level = make newbies not jump off the left side because they don't know where to go.

Let me do the hipster thing and say: I loved the clear pipes and saw their potential back when everyone said "lol their new thing is clear pipes LULZ" :p

Honestly, i haven't seen anything this gen in the same resolution, fidelity and fps together, with decent AA.
I do think it's not a huuuuuge leap, but great for what it is.
 
We've seen a few levels with this theme, and there was a boss level with it as well. It might be related, but it could just be a common trope.

Found this photo..

Looks to be the ferris wheel you can see in bowsers carnival sky level that was shown in the artwork.

Still, i could be wrong.

edit, it even has eight prongs, like bowsers ferris wheel, with the circles at each end.

First thing I am going to do, is go run full speed and jump off the left side LOL
 
OK GAF, me and my wife are having an argument here.

where do we know that gray nice from? she says it's the sunglass mice... I don't think so.

It's definitely not Mouser from SMB2, if that's what she meant. Pretty sure this is a new enemy to go along with the new cat suit. Cats chasing mice, etc. :)

Ya'll know how good the Galaxy games look in Dolphin, right? It isn't a stretch for Nintendo to deliver these graphics.
