I swear i think I need to make the thread title say "I appreciate that Smash Bros is 1080p and 60 fps" or something so people won't comment  that isn't even hard to do this on a fighting game like Smash Bros.

The point of the thread is that it's awesome to have the first HD Smash Bros game in 1080p and 60 fps. Not that it will be GOTY, the best looking game, or something the other console could or could not handle.

Geez.

But those points are all true lol. It will be GOTY, it is the best looking fighting game, and those other consoles can only dream of local 8 player gaming.

We do need to be realistic however. Only Smash and WW HD are true 1080p Wii U games (not counting eshop). Smash is a fighting game that does look beautiful, but it definitely is not as complex (graphically speaking) as a FPS or 3D Action/Adventure game. The Wii U cannot keep up with anything XB1 or PS4 on either the CPU or GPU. It's fact. But with enough give and take here and there you can reach this "magical" 1080/60p. EA or Ubisoft or Activision and even Nintendo could make every game be 1080/60p, but they would not all look pretty which is why they shoot for a lower res while keeping the graphics fidelity up. I would love every game to be 1080/60p, but I will take a lower resolution if the graphics fidelity can be upped and the framerate remain steady.

I do take issue with developers (3rd parties) who gimp one console because they were too lazy to eek out every bit of performance all in the name of "parity."

 

tl;dr 1 game @ 1080/60p does not = more powerful than other consoles.

Damn, you got a wise comment, i give u my respect.  :)
