Mario Galaxy in HD - The video

Seeing is believing
Remember those 720p Super Mario Galaxy screenshots from yesterday? Of course you do. Well here's some proper footage of the Wii stunner running in hi-definition (note: remember to turn your sound off).

The footage is of course care of some legally questionable PC emulator malarkey, that's able to output Mario's latest in the resolution we'd all like from a new HD Wii. Make it happen please, Nintendo.

ok!!

After watching this, I really want an upscaler for the Wii. I dont want replace my existing Wii yet because I dont think it would be worth it. However a additional hd upsaler add-on is something I would pick up almost instantly.

That has to be the most boring voiceover I've heard in quite some time.

Tbh though.. the pictures yesterday looked impressive, but this video was less so in my opinion. Perhaps it's just youtube.

I'm currently replaying Galaxy and loving every second of it.

*slaps forehead*

If you plug your Wii into a HDTV, it's already being upscaled. End of story.

This video isn't the result of upscaling - the game's 3D geometry is being rendered at a higher resolution from the outset. THAT is what's resulting in a sharper image.

Please, please, please people. Understand that "upscaling" is not the same and won't give you the same results as increasing the native resolution.

And is nintendo released a HD wii people would still bitch about just the same as they do now so what would be the point.

To be honest I cant see much of a difference. Mario Galaxy is already a good looking game and when I play it on my TV with the component cables it looks fantastic and just like this video. The pictures that were shown before looked different when compared to the original but if that is what it takes to see these marginal differences then im happy with what I have at the moment.

It has to be said that the Wii can output some gorgeous visuals, even in SD. It's a far more capable machine than people (or, sadly, developers) tend to give it credit for.

This must burn Wiiboy bad! :twisted:

Knowing that his glorious Wii could've been so much more!
