Reggie needs to learn from Iwata and play the "Please Understand" card.

Mario Kart moving from March/April to basically June really (really) sucks though. How long does it take to make a freaking Mario Kart game, they should be able to work faster than this.


Well to my understanding they're looking to pump up the graphica and are targeting 1080p/60fps for the Sony/MS/PC fans who are likely to buy the console for this, as well as throwing in as much as they can. They cannot afford to botch this.

Making their games 1080p/60fps is going to do very little to attract the hardware junkies. They know full well the WiiU is underpowered in comparison to the other consoles. This wouldn't change their minds. 

I'm not saying that doing 1080p/60fps on all their games would help them. Just the ones that appeal outside of their core fanbase the most. Games from franchises like Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Zelda have always helped to push hardware regardless of the system they're selling on. 1080p/60fps obviously isn't going to change the minds of those who are not interested in buying the system in the first place (hardware junkies or not). My point is that the better the game looks (and plays), the more the people who are on the fence about getting a system will decide to get one.
