Some 3DS games can look surpriseingly good upressed abit:

I think Nintendo consoles (because they normally run lower resolutions) benefit the most from being upressed. Results are less noticeable going from 1080p->4k, than from 240p -> 1080p/4k.

3DS vs Emulator (Citra):

^ this is what pokemon fans want it to look like. They want a console version, not a 3DS version of their pokemon games.

The question doesn't make much sense. The purpose of having a higher resolution IS to have better graphics.

Came in here to say the exact same thing. Particle effects, soft shadows and many other visual features are directly impacted by resolutions. I'd rather have a higher resolution that lessens the need for AA effects and leaves more resources for PP effects.

Like it or not, resolution is a huge part of visual fidelity. For me, the jump from 1080p to 1440p was staggering, everything looks so much better, especially PP effects and shadows.

That was why I used Wind Waker. They didn't just upres the HD version. They redid the graphics, but kept the same art style.  So they improved both the graphics and the resolution as this topic is about.

But beyond the gameplay improvements of the HD remake, I would have no qualms about playig the gamecube version over the Wii U version. That is purely because of the art style. Both games graphics are great and still copmletely playable today. Neither games resolution makes the game any more playable than the others.

It is purely the art style that makes that game timeless.

Graphics. There's no contest at all for me. High resolution with subpar graphics looks barren at worst, which is one of the worst things for immersion. Low resolution doesn't generally hurt the experience, of which pre-HD TV and gaming are proof. Besides, I don't mind games looking a bit blurry/pixelated if as a tradeoff, I can get better graphics otherwise. In fact, I'd probably be perfectly happy if we still had 720p, if that meant better graphics/framerate.

Agree.

Make the game run nativly at your display resolution, whatever it is, and then improve the graphics.

Resolution takes priority for me, I really hope nintendo can increase the resolution of mario odyssey to 900p when docked even if it means sacrificing the graphical fidelity.

I think the question should be graphics Vs framerate.

Most of us still use 1080p therefore would want more high quality graphics.

I hope so too, even better if they manage to increase the resolution while still keeping the graphics as they are right now. Apparently the game was basically finished when we saw it for the first time, so they'd have an entire year just to polish the game some more if they wanted to. At the very least I hope for some antialiasing, since the city level had jaggies everywhere =P

That's looks great.
