Will Twilight Princess HD look like the E3 2011 Tech Demo?

SMG2 was just a release on the VC, it was released alongside Metroid Prime Trilogy, Donkey Kong Country: Returns, Punch-Out, etc.

Yeah. That's my point. They could have put some effort into it and made it an HD port, since it's Mario's 30th anniversary.

It had nothing to do with Mario's 30th anniversary.

But they knew that it was Mario's 30th anniversary. So they could have given it an HD upgrade for that reason.
Because you're arguing that they should go all out on the Zelda TP port because it's Zelda's 30th anniversary.

Who says TP HD hasn't been in development since 2013? MM 3D started development right after OoT 3D was finished  and only released this year. This might be the project Tantalus has been talking about, which has been in development for quite a while. Nintendo has loads of money in the bank, the budget for a TP remake wouldn't even phaze them.

The difference is that it hasn't been announced yet. Meaning that even if it was a fullblown remake, Nintendo could move production over to NX, without upsetting anyone. And due to how things are currently with the WiiU, people are more inclined to get upset. (See the post-E3 reactions from many Nintendo fans for example.) If it was a remake, making it cross platform will hold back the game's performance, similar to Twilight Princess on Wii, because it was also a Gamecube game.

And the screen you showed looks unacceptable for a retail release in 2016.

First of all, this is only Dolphin, and the game would look better if Nintendo actually worked on it, as I've stated before. And that it wouldn't be acceptable is only your opinion. And one that's contradicted by several other HD titles from Gen 6. It honestly looks like you don't understand what HD remasters actually look like, since you commented on how blurry my screens were. No matter what the screenshot I posted looks like, if you understood what Dolphin does to the games, or what HD remasters look like, the last thing you would assume about an HD remaster is that it would look blurry, because that's exactly what an HD port is not. So you seem to base your opinion on a lack of knowledge of HD remasters, and before you even see what Nintendo do with it when they actually work on it, rather than just let an emulator upgrade it automatically.
And who said anything about a retail release? The datacrawling that located Twilight Princess HD was on the Nintendo e-shop. That's all we know right now. That it will be on the e-shop. Nothing about a retail release.

Just because something is upscaled to 720p doesn't mean textures can't be blurry anymore... I've watched loads of games on dolphin and TP is not a looker amongst the ones I saw. Metroid Prime 3 and the Galaxy games could get away with HD ports and some slight texture rework, but TP sure as hell can't. Nintendo isn't going to make an HD port to one of their biggest games and then not give a retail release to it.
