As i said to someone else, MK8 is essentially a 7th gen game running at 8th gen performance lvels.

It's still a beautiful looking game, but that's thanks to Nintendo's artistic skill, not any kind of technical achievement.

Artistic skill is still limited by technical capabilities.

Simply stated, you cannot get the artistic skill you see unless and underlying technical is there to allow it.

True, but that's not an issue with MK8. It isn't using anything to aid it's art style that the PS3 and 360 couldn't also achieve should they wish. I say that of course based only on videos, there may well be some visual techniques not compatible with the HD twins, but nothing for which there isn't an identical solution for.

I say all of this purely about MK8 of course, not the WiiU itself. The WiiU is capable of plenty of things neither the PS3 or 360 can do, MK8 just isn't a good representation of that.
