Cartoony games tend to have lower production values not because of their choice of art style, but because of a factor related to the dreaded "Animation Age Ghetto". There's nothing to suggest that such games are categorically inferior, just that they tend to be lower-budget on the balance.

I agree somewhat. But let's be honest, it could've looked like MK Wii and you would've said the same thing lol.

1080p+60fps = Better overall game experience.

Lets hope so...

To achive proper realism, you need better AA, more complex geometry and character models, superior lightning and physics, waay more detailed (and thus bigger) textures, more realistic (and thus more demanding) animations, motion capture and much more polygons. There is also stuff like particle effects and clothing animation. Did I really have to explain this?

Nothing on ps360 is even half as impressive as mario kart 8.

Try playing a PS3/360 game before saying something like this.

@zero999
Im not even gonna try to explain that to you

Fap! Seriously, Dat rainbow road is just tooo Jizz worthy! This is gonna be a hard few weeks to wait for T_T

Another article from the same day that says it's 720p.

Google translated :  Flashes of light and colorful distinctive of Nintendo games do the rest in a product to be native 720p, but it really is hard to believe you are not actually 1080p. The result is outstanding

Except for textures and a certain extent of character models, all of that could be done in a cartoony game. You're talking about effort put into the game period, which, as i said, is a factor that cartoony games tend to be lower-budget on the whole. They do not have to be.

Which was more impressive? Super Mario Galaxy 2 or No More Heroes 2?
