Good.

And I have to say the hating here is beyond sad. It's like people feel that a Nintendo console being able to get games that come with the numbers '1080' and the letter 'p' is somehow personally offensive. Then quasi-truths are being thrown around like anyone actually knows the first thing about how this game tasks the system.

Personally, I couldn't care less, I don't plan on buying it as I already have it for 3DS, but I would like to point out that it isn't just "haters", the "nintendo side" are throwing their fair share of insults too.

The issue here is, the game is not terribly complex, world environments do not have anywhere near the polycount of a standard games environment, hell they have even less of a polycount than the average MK8 track, so the power needed to run it at 1080p 60fps is significantly different, hence MK8, developed by the same company, could not achieve 1080p.

People being salty because it's 1080p is sad, but people ignoring this obvious difference in processing requirement that allowed it to reach this performance, to insult the other consoles, is equally sad.

Sure, true. Let's just say that this is yet again one of those threads that show how childish the industry and the people in it is. Since I joined this site, that fact has been made abundantly clear to me. None of the fanbases has done their side any service. Before, I have never felt any kind of hostility or unhealthy bias in any way. Even when I myself was a child, 'gaming' never felt so childish.

Of course, there's good people out there and those people shouldn't feel spoken to.
