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.

Any trained eye can also clearly see aliasing doesn't look natural either. It is a distortion/artifact of the intended shapes.

Anti-Aliasing and higher resolutions are trying to fix that distortion/artifact... with more or less success depending on the chosen AA method, additional processing power, game engine and art style.
