There are videos on youtube with people running Mario Galaxy on a PC at 1080p too (dolphin emulator)

NSMBW in 1080p Dolphin emulator (Brawl also was ran in 1080p)
http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/12/this-is-what-new-super-mario-bros-wii-in-1080p-looks-like/

How do they make it that size and still sharp? This is not upscaling I am guessing, its some native resolution resize, like the PC game resolution setting I assume, anyone know?

It's because these emulators are not faithfully recreating the Wii's GPU. Instead, they take intercept the rendering commands ("draw this polygon", etc.) and render those commands in whatever resolution they want to.
This means no upscaling is needed.
It's usually called High-level emulation (which started with the Nintendo 64 emulators if I recall correctly). It needs tuning for some games, but it has performance and picture-quality advantages.
PS: BTW, this is also why the 360 improves the graphical quality of Xbox games with backwards compatibility. The games are actually rendered at a high resolution, not just upscaled.

^^^ basically you'll get more resolution amd make it unplayable

It's really difficult to tell the difference with those stills.
It looks mostly like an anti-aliased version.

Ah thanks for clearing that up :)

play on a HD you will see the difference.

Somehow I doubt it. I don't see how turning a Wii-game HD suddenly makes it look better. But as I said, I probably suck at this stuff so that might be why.
