If you're gaming on a projector at 92" I can see why you'd place a premium on image quality.

I was calling it a graphical showcase based more on the game's technological makeup rather than its visual appeal when blown up to that size.

True, but should some base image quality not be part of a graphical showcase. Is AC Unity the best graphical showcase this gen for its advanced lighting techniques? You can make a real time ray traced game running at 320x200 or 10fps, is that then the best graphical showcase?
Imo they sacrificed too much image quality to make it the best graphical showcase.
I would showcase / show off MK8 on a projector which looks very good upscaled, not fast racing neo.

Image quality is certainly a key element, but its still one aspect among many. Textures, framerate, lighting, shading, effects, all have their parts to play as well. For example, Star Wars Battlefront is 900p on PS4 and 720p on Xbox One, but I'd still call it on of the prettiest games on either console.

If you're gaming on a projector blown up to 92" I can understand that image quality becomes a much more pressing concern.

However, I think most Wii U gamers, like myself, will be playing on a TV substantially smaller than 92 inches. On my 42" LED, Fast Racing Neo's image quality is acceptable, if sub-optimal, and doesn't spoil its gorgeous lighting, textures, etc.
