Are people really using Mario kart to second guess the power of the wii u. I mean the wii had a pretty respectable version of mario kart and that had a gpu of 12 gflops. Cartoon graphics are always easier to produce than realistic graphics. We have seen so many wii u games that have failed to achieve realistic graphics to the same standard as 360 or PS3.

It's like zelda windwaker on gamecube. An uprezed version on wii u still looks pretty respectable but you take a gamecube first person shooter and uprez that on wii u people would be laughing their heads off at wii u performance.

People seem to confuse artistically beautiful games with technically impressive games a lot of the time.

Don't get me wrong the new Mario kart looks brilliant but what is it actually achieving on screen.

Destructoid are stating its confirmed to run in 720p so its hardly that impressive. Although again I don't see why such a game with cartoon graphics, with low cpu requirements and 32MB of embedded high speed memory can't run this at 1080p.

Because it's a game with awesome and highly demanding graphics, regardless of your tries of making it look bad.
