So I was playing Sonic 3, and I'm totally stuck on this bouncy thing in Carnival Night. I keep jumping and can't go down all the way. Help!D-Pad said:

Call me nuts but that looks fucking ugly. Those assets weren't meant to be displayed at that resolution.TheExodu5 said:Once you see Wii games in proper HD, it's hard to go back.

I wasn't trying to be a dick, I just can't see how anyone could find the Galaxy games untouchable yet not even acknowledge that this game looks just as good artistically and is a game that most would say looks great no matter what you play it on.
I didn't know he played Wii games on a silly computer.

Yeah, it's too simple looking, would have to be cel-shaded to pull that off with how basic it is and even then, it might not.

From the Go Nintendo review -
"Donkey Kong Country Returns does not control like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and it shouldn't. Donkey Kong has a different size and weight to him than Mario. DK builds up momentum, and he takes a little longer to stop."
That's a massive difference in the very fundamentals of DKC's gameplay, I'm surprised I didn't hear about this or notice it before. In the trilogy you could literally move in the opposite direction at full speed on a dime, no acceleration or sliding at all. So if you weren't a fan of that in the other games, there's something. Looks like it controls a little more like Mario now.

Going a little off topic, aren't we? Let's discuss DK.

The Wii 480p version blown up to 1080p and viewed on a computer monitor would look much, much worse.Regulus Tera said:

Also, to say the assets weren't meant to be displayed at that resolution is a little naive. Just look at the M on Mario's hat. The textures are remarkably high resolution in many Nintendo titles. It gives me hope that Nintendo will some day support Wii games at a higher resolution.

It can be true.
With character models and backgrounds that non detailed and such, some of the games look weird with higher resolutions.
Now if the system was more powerful than it is, they could maked some of the best looking games of all time with high resolution but they aren't designed for it and it shows.
Just how I see it though most think every Wii game looks great in high definition.

I usually agree that some games have assets that were intended for lower resolutions, and up-res ruins the look.... but in this case I think Nintendo's assets look awesome in HD.

Why are we talking about Wii resolution in HD in this thread again? Someone explain it to me.

I have already summoned, but not used, the Super Kong twice and I've only just beaten World 1. Holy hell at
On another note, getting to play the game for a few hours now I have come to terms with the Wiimote held sideways controls and they work just as well as any other control option they could have provided.
Stage 1-K. I was stuck on it for a good 45 minutes. It's like Nintendo went and designed their own take on Kaizo Mario.

I have a solution for Amirox!
Rent it first. If you like it and feel it's worth the $50, get it.

some of the later K stages are actually probably twice as hard as that one. I think even the World 5 one

Oh, yeah, look at those fucking beautifully low-res sprites and textures I NEED TO GO CHANGE MY PANTS NOW THEY'RE JUST SO BLURRY IT IS MAKING ME SO HOTTheExodu5 said:
(to clarify, making a game HD doesn't always make it look good unless it was made to be HD, and NSMB is a perfect example of that with its low-res textures)

I just figured they'd have it like they had Mario Galaxy 2 in the same situation but this dude looked it up on the computer, said he had no way of knowing it was there, basically questioned it was a major title and looked constipated when I told him it was due out today.
He said he thought they'd get it in on Tuesday.
I don't even work there to know that's bullshit.

Will gamestop be opening at its typical time for Sunday? I ask because I could have sworn they open early for the release of some games.MidnightScott said:
Picked up the game about two hours ago. I'm sufficiently drunk, as I strangely have no work tomorrow. Thus far, my fiance, my best friend, and I prefer it sideways. Nunchuck is good too, but motion control with a side controlller is really easy. Very subtle movement. It's surprisingly comfy. Loving the game. GREAT challenge without being too hard. Currently, we've just been passing the controller based upon lives lost or time spent playing... we're almost to world 3. A few more levels to go. All in all, we have all been blown away by expectations. We're each in our mid-20s and grew up with DKC. Really enjoying it Lots to find, good difficulty, and great level design. Nothing to complain about yet, but I'm still early on. I'll update tomorrow with other GAFfers once I start my own file in the morning.
