are nowhere to be seen, all while running at a super smooth 60fps.

There have been rumours and statements suggesting that HD development was proving more challenging for Nintendo than anticipated. EAD Tokyo is known for releasing polished gems, but we've seen even great developers stumble during the transition to HD before. Despite these difficulties, Super Mario 3D World stands as one of the most polished titles we've played, which, given the amount of unique content, is no small feat. At a glance, the visuals may not appear particularly astounding, but the skill with which Nintendo has managed to mesh modern technology with great art certainly is and Super Mario 3D World is a textbook example of how to build a classic in the modern age.

All of these features would be for nothing if the performance wasn't there, of course. Mario titles demand precision and a quick response that call for a solid 60 frames per second update.More so than most games aiming for this goal, EAD has managed to deliver a 100 per cent consistent update. Every moment of the game, every menu transition, and every element of the user interface all operate at 60fps without a single hitch. Shooting for 60fps is no small task and requires cooperation from the entire team throughout the development cycle, but Nintendo takes it further by taking a zero-tolerance approach to frame-rate dips.

Enjoy a video of Mario 3D World in action while a completely horizontal line runs from left to right. I'm sorry Mario, but your frame-rate drop is in another castle.

Is the game 720P? because it looked a little blurry at times on my friends TV.

From what i've heard, yes it is.

Must be a blur filter.

The effects are outstanding, and the only negative graphically that i've noticed is pop-in in areas that are large enough to notice it (namely the Savannah levels, where those trees pop in whole cloth at fairly short distances).

The team that made the Galaxy games certainly did not disappoint.

I think that game could be 60fps PS360 as well.

Perhaps they should have shown a scene with more happening.

Further in, there's the level with all the ants running around.

Same.

It is 720p, but upscaled to 1080 and 60fps.

But, srsly, whatever, this game looks just fantastic and makes a lot of fun, especially with friends. Just imagine what we can expect in the future from Nintendo! :)
