No, one of the more recent hands-on impressions from IGN said it was 30 fps...I don't think they've ever stated it was 60.

It doesn't really matter...60 fps could be nicer, but it's not going to matter much.  60 fps is nicer for fast games...30 fps is good enough for Mario.

 

Guys, check the back of the box (2nd picture). NO EDTV/HDTV or 16:9 support on the box! WTF?

Um...Metroid Prime 3 supports 480p and 16:9 and it doesn't say it on the back of the box either.  I wasn't aware that they were highlighting this on game boxes.  Are there some that do?  Where?

I don't know, maybe you guys across the Atlatic don't have these icons on the top. See what I mean:

I've never seen that icon before.

As this is the NTSC box, it wouldn't have that icon.

So, no worries hehe, I'm sure that icon will show up on the European box.

Heheh, poor routsounmanman! Almost had a heart-attack.

Phew! Sorry to have scared the shit out of you, guys! :)

Math trumps it?

The odds are against that particular combination, yes, but they're equally against any other letter combination. Hundreds of these, probably thousands, could have patterns read into them by the average person. All of them would show a pattern to someone in the world.

Examples:

SUPER MARIO GALAXY
|
SUPMAX ("'sup, Max"? The artist is saying hi to someone named Max)
|
UGLY (this would be reported as a subversive commentary on Wii's graphics)
|
SPERM (corrupting the children again)
|
SURARGAY ("sure are gay" and a lot of other things ending in "GAY," since those are the obvious letters to highlight in GALAXY)
|
UPLA (the artist is a supporter of the Uttar-Pradesh Land Alliance. I've never heard of it either, but someone has)

And how many other arbitrary combinations of letters have meaning as acronyms/shorthands to various groups the way that "UR" has meaning to internet users? Many of these would be much less nonsensical than "You are Mr. Gay."

Humans superimpose patterns onto their world. Look at the Jesus tacos if you want proof.

Are you wii owners saying that on all the box arts it does not say it has 480p or 16:9 on it, i'm pretty sure every system since they started adding this stuff has it posted, it seems odd that wii in NA would remove the stuff. Even the GC had labels for his stuff.
