Will you be satisfied with a 720p Wii 2?

OK I admit it's been a while since I looked at the native resolutions list so I had forgotten a lot about it. Part of it is also that I fell prey to the fact that the most publicized resolutions are the ones which fall short of 720p.

However, my comment about frame-rates still applies. I would actually prefer worse resolution with better and more stable framerate on my 360 games.

 

No sweat.

60FPS is excellent, but unfortunately most people don't notice it much unless the game dips to 15-20 fps lows. Though on the other hand it could be why COD IV sold so well because people appreciated the fact it ran so well without necessarily understanding why.

 

Many genres are OK at 30 fps, but some really require 60 fps to feel good. Especially racing games and fast-paced games like the Ninja Gaiden series. Mario Kart Wii at online splitscreen sucks somewhat as it doesn't run at 60 fps.

But as you say, a stable framerate is really very important. The lack of it in many games is one of my pet peeves with the 360 (and the PS3 doesn't seem better from what I hear). Props to Nintendo for making their games in mostly stable 60 fps, at least the ones I have played. It's a whole other level of smoothness.
