People who believe just because SM3DW is in 1080p that the WiiU is powerful enough for more hardware hungry games like Bayonetta and X.
Donkey Kong running 720p is not really encouraging for those titles.

Super Mario 3D world is 720p too :)
and it looks fantastic !

Then I got lied to in that other thread.
And I hate this "But it looks amazing". No it does not. Amazing is pretty much the highest rating one could give but it definitely would look "amazinger" on more powerful hardware. So it just looks "ok" in comparison to what it could look like. As I said before, I cand't stand if games are held back by poor hardware. I'm used to PC level graphics which means 1080p and 60 frames. So NO, 720p does not look amazing. It looks jagged and washed out out with those fist sized pixels. Especially on a bigger screen.

You will hear people say this game looks amazing, and you will agree to disagree. Why? Because you can't argue against another person's art style preferences, even if the game is only running at 720p@60fps.

This is not about opinion. A game on a higher resolution looks better, period. A thing can't be amazing if there is a trivial way to make it even better. We are pretty much forced to this because Nintendo decided for us what looks good enough. This is a hardware limitation that could've been avoided but someone who is not the consumer decided giant pixels are good enough for us peasants. That is what angers me and even more so when someone defends it.
And before someone accuses me of just bashing Nintendo, I'm pretty pissed at Sony too for skimping out on a system that should've easily managed 1080p/60fps from the get go.

Well, your entitled to your opinion just as much as anyone else. But it sounds to me like you want cutting edge. The only way to get that is to buy the right PC card. Not sure what else to tell you.
As for your comment in bold, not sure what will EVER make you happy lol. Because things are ALWAYS improving, and you can make that statement about EVERYTHING. Therefore, nothing in life is amazing.

That's why I said "trivial". It's not that they would have to hire a new art department or something. Just a bit more power would've been enough but as I said they decided it wouldn't be important.
I want cutting edge. I had high hopes for the new gen but I was disappointed all around. It's understandable that consoles from 7 years ago can't hold up to higher standards but the WiiU is out for a year and it can't handle the simplest tasks that are long standard in pc gaming.
No I don't consider myself part of the pc gaming master race and I know consoles are still the best offer when it comes to cost effectiveness. But I'm still thinking about what could've been and that makes me sad.
