You gave me another reason! now the game can run a lot better because it's not running on two screens at the same time! wii u games need to distribute the power of the system between the wii u and the gamepad, for example that's why star fox looks not so good, because the game is running on two different screens at 60fps. Now with splatoon and mario kart, we don't have a second screen, so the games use less resources than the wii u version on a system that is more powerful, that means better visuals and better performance.

Both are 60 fps so I doubt we're going to see better performance. Better visuals are possible, but at their core they are still Wii U games. Don't expect miracles from a tablet. I'm just preparing you for disappointment. I used to have hope like you... I'm just trying to spare you a little pain

She is not expecting a miracle from a tablet, because the Switch is a gaming console =)

They're not remasters. They're still 720p. Same as Wii U. Can you really say a game is remastered to 720p when it was 720p in the first place? I'd consider them to be remixes instead of remasters.

Oh and these expansions should work on Wii U too.

The hate strong on you is, young pupil.

I don't think its hate. Its just being pragmatic. I don't get how you're going to call a game better than 720p when its putting out on a 720p screen.

Do... not... want.

I own them. I played them. I want new games instead.

I thought remake, was to make it from the ground up?

Remaster is useing the (some of the) same texture ect, just in higher quality with the odd touch up to the textures most in need.

remake is something like wind waker, majora's mask or final fantasy 7

remaster is like the last of us or final fantasy x on ps4, just need a resolution bump and in some cases better framerate.

so if mario kart and splatoon have better resolution that would count as a remaster, with some extra content.

Wind Waker HD is just a very ambitious remaster. They didn't rebuild assets from scratch compared to the likes of FFVII R, Majora's Mask and the first 2 games in the Master Chief collection. They included a new lighting engine in WW which is responsible for why it looks so new.

the game also has new mechanics, features and a new mode. But yeah let's say a remaster on steroids.

If MK8 on Switch has like 40 new courses, then fair enough.

Because resolution dosent define if a game is good or not?Because the resolution output could be higher on the tv or, who knows, on the Switch built in screen, since everything is a rumor?I could name another reasons if you like.

There is a BIG difference betwenn being pragmatic, or skeptical if you wish, or just being downright pessimistic about any kind of news about the Switch.
