It will be a glorious day when Nintendo discovers what Anti-Aliasing is.

That was my biggest problem with Mario Kart 8's visuals, I'd take AA over the bump to 1080p any day.

Please no. Any trained eye can clearly see anti aliasing doesn't look natural and prefers the sight of a edge that is in fact rough in the game code, over a fake blur. The greatest developers like Nintendo and Platinum opt out of it.

Wow, unless you're talking about FXAA this is almost as bad as the people that say "The human eye can't see above 30fps!".

Also those developers don't "opt out" of AA because they think Jaggies are better, Platinum Games had two AA solutions in the Nier: Automata port for PC for instance. It's a question of power.

They just prioritize other visual elements, like the vast majority of developers. Decent AA is a rarity on any console.
