Looks like they put in a lot of the work for the 3DS games.

I'm kind of into the Mario Kart models, haha. Low-poly Luigi with what I presume is a lot of shader work thrown on him looks kind of awesome?
I'm pretty sure Pokemon's models look so good because Game Freak was like "fuck, this is 721 Pokemon we have to model, let's make one set of models we can use for a long time so we don't have to do this again next gen" and then made them a bit too good for the 3DS (which is probably part of why battles run like shit on the 3DS).
Yes because they would do that with an artstyle that actually fits. Artstyle is why people are saying this looks better than UE4 OOT demos, and they're not wrong.
Holy shit those models and reflections.
Very likely. Pokémon battles will look insane on the next portable.
Compared to what you see on the 3DS screen though. Some games can literally become Jaggies: The Game at times

Wow. I guess this is the result of Game Freak creating very high quality 3D models for every Pokemon that could be re-used across multiple products. It seems to be a trend among Nintendo games that the assets end up being of far higher detail than the console can render.
1600 x 960, so x4.
On the topic of Pokemon, it makes sense they look so incredible. Every Pokemon has a rather large poly count which is also the reason you get frame drops a lot when many big Pokemon are on screen. They essentially future proofed themselves and took the hit now for better performance on future systems.
Still though, they're absolutely amazing looking and crisp.

I disagree. I think Nintendo releases that exact video, there would be pants splooging.

No, all I plan to play is Fire Emblem Fates. Which I own, I just don't want to play it on my actual DS. I want it on my monitor/TV.

On another handheld? No chance.

No AA.
I don't think that's it because it's not visible on say the shadows only on the Pokemon.

It doesn't run in Citra yet, I keep trying it every time there's a significant update.

It's a symptom of the original outlines on the models intending to have been a pixel's width. There's no great, natural way for them to scale arbitrarily.
That makes sense thanks

Damn, and I thought the DS Pokemon games in high-res looked good. This is a whole other thing.
*sigh* This again...
They're called POCKET monsters for a reason. We are never going to get a mainline Pokemon game on console. Deal.
He meant high-res footage of the 3DS version, not a video of KH 2.8.

Damn those 1080p screenshots look sexy, any ones for FE Awakening or Fates?

It's there. Their tweet today pointing it out is odd because it's been in the nightlys for about a month.

How reasonable does OoT3D and MM3D run on this? If they manage to run at a decent framerate (20+) I'll try them out asap

I'm not saying Pokemon should come to console (well, they did actually). But it won't ever look good as long as they're developed for Nintendo handhelds

Most games are very, very slow. Ocarina of Time runs between 5-10 FPS for me. If you have an overclocked, top-of-the-line CPU you might be able to get 20, but that's still just 66% of the original speed.

I see. My PC is actually pretty weak, so no chance I can brute force it.
I'll give some time so the boys can work on it then. Still, fantastic progress so far!

It's beautiful, in a horrifying sort of way
Any benchmarks for a 6700k? That's what I have maybe I could try it out dont have much though.

My guess is that the low poly models is due to the 3DS having to render the same model twice.

3D Land, the Zelda 3D remakes, and Triple Deluxe look stunning. Mario and Kirby actually kind of shocked me (I already knew OoT and MM would look great). My feelings on ALBW depend on the shot so far.
The question is though, what CPU do you have yourself? (And the rest of your PC if you don't mind)
Get some ambient occlusion in there and this is pretty much my dream for 3DS emulation. It would look so great with just a few more enhancements.
I've been dreaming about that for a while, mainly because it's the only real chance of them fixing Majora's Mask 3D so the changes aren't implemented in such a stupid way. Maybe on a home console with longer play sessions they'd be willing to put the song of time back in as an option. Bare minimum, they could revisit the Zora swimming.
