Mario Kart 8 pushes Wii U to the limit?

Mario Kart 8 does look good, very good.

No it really, really doesn't - the screenshots lack AA, very low poly count, poor shadows etc. 

It will still be 1080p 60fps. More than most PS4 and XBone titles can claim.

1080p/60fps hasn't actually been confirmed yet, to the last of my knowledge it was a singlr article that mentioned it (the same article also didn't mention if it was 1080p up-scaled or native). Probably best not to state it as fact quite yet.

Still, even if it is true, resolution/frame rate aren't a great means for comparing games. Knack and inFamous both run at 1080p/30 - 40fps, yet the gap between them is rather, uhh, big :P

I've said previously, if MK8 is running at 1080p/60fps then its technical shortcomings are totally justified. If, however, it's running at 720p/60fps then it's incredibly disappointing. The WiiU may not be a power house, but it should certainly be doing more than MK8 at 720p/60fps.
