| Samus Aran said: There's no excuse for not updating retro stages (of which there are a lot in SSB Wii U). As for the picture you showed, it really just looks like a Wii game in HD. At least the models of the fighters look really nice, I will say that. |
I agree that the stage does look like Super Mario Galaxy in HD. I do think that it is worth noting that despite the fact that Mario Galaxy was a Wii game, it holds up very nicely, even by today's standards.
Super Smash Bros. 4 is displayed natively at 1080p.
I agree that Pokken has superior backgrounds/ stages graphically, however Pokken is likely going to be running natively at 720p.
They are both good looking games, I just felt that your initial post was not giving Super Smash Bros. 4 enough credit, and I would go as far as saying you were somewhat discrediting the game.
As for why they reuse the stage assets from the N64 Smash Bros. I would argue that the developers have done this as a means to take advantage of nostalgia.
For awhile the retro tracks in the Mario Kart games featured the same graphics as their predecessor. It is not until recently that the Mario Kart games have actually rebuilt/remade these retro tracks from the ground up.
