The video doesn't do it any justice then. Whoever made it should point out that it was poorly made.

I recorded it with 60fps.
It went straight from recording to upload. Its basically "unedited".
I used xsplit for the video. If thats not up to your standart then sorry. Im not gonna change anything on my videos.
EDIT: Going through the video frame by frame i CANNOT confirm your claim that every second frame is a copy of the first!
The YT video is 30 fps only. Youtube is capped at 30.
I think the fact that there is no urgency whatsoever (at least until the exit opens) actually adds to the game. Early in a stage, you have time to explore and memorize the environment at your leasure, which is kinda necessary in later stages. Enemies spawn based on the clock, but also based on percentage, so you won't get overwhelmed. The difference between NAN and SSHD is that NAN requires preparation and a lot more strategy, as you will always want to kill every single enemy for the completion bonus, and getting the last 10% in just 30 seconds is really hard if you just blast away without thinking.

I actually think the video looks really good and was surprised to find out that its supposedly not representative. I've done the same thing I've done dozens of times before: opened mp4 with QuickTime and used arrow keys to go forward frame by frame. Same thing I've done recently with wonderful 101 video which was unquestionably 60fps, as every frame was different than previous. With your video, every 2nd frame is a copy of previous one when I do this. I'll try it one more time with QT7 instead of QTX when I get back home, but the video generally looked like 30fps to me, it's just that the movements in the game are slow, so it's harder to tell.

This game is soooo good 
) An amazing combination of all great new twin stick shooters I've played so far, and it looks superb, best looking shooter for sure, and playing on the GamePad makes it look even prettier imo.
Maybe not the best game to have vital stuff shown on the Gamepad while playing on the TV imo, as soon as I check the radar or move the satelites around I die. :/ Might just be me though.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
The sequel needs online multi, though.

The game actually runs at 60?

Just played the first set of levels, loved it.
One problem: didn't saw any leaderboards. Said they weren't available? PAL-user here. WHat's going on?

For what it's worth, I checked his video with QT7 like I said I would - and it was still 30fps (every other frame a copy of previous one) with some drops here and there. Also it looked like 30fps when I was just watching the video in QT7, identical as with QTX.
Fantastic game. Managed to unlock Survivor Mode now. As others have mentioned Omicron 1 was a real tough level to complete without losing all your lives. My tactic in the end was to try and avoid the exploding trees as much as possible. If they are right next to you, don't shoot. They are best disposed of at a safe distance, so you can more easily side step their shrapnel.
The Omicron boss I also battled for ages to kill, but then the final boss of Stage 4 I finished in under 20 seconds. Go figure.
I would love to see some extra stages released as DLC. Will buy it in a flash.
The Arcade mode is also great. You can play for just a few minutes and then see how your score compares against everyone else. This helps with the replay value.

The soundtrack in this game is nothing short of amazing. Doesn't play half bad either!
neither game is particularly technically impressive at all (I'm just playing Trine 2 right now, it completely outclasses both of these titles) but for me NAN is quite some way ahead of Stardust.
NAN is the first game I've finished for my Wii U.
I probably played about 50% on the TV and 50% on the GamePad. Playing on the TV seemed easier, like there was more room to breathe. I liked the intimate nature of playing it in bed like a gorgeous-looking handheld but it certainly impacted on my performance.
Disappointed it's a little short and shallow with a lot of re-used enemies in later stages and also how easy the bosses were. Also super disappointed that the bonus round doesn't have an unlockable score attack mode with friend leaderboards.
Something like that would have been great.
Not a classic but definitely a fun little thing I'll probably play every so often.

Are the country flags really obscuring the first two digits on the leaderboards (once you're in the hundreds and thousands)? What a silly design mistake. :lol Probably only tested with a handful of people on the boards.
The game is totally worth the 10 Euros, comes recommended. Pretty ridiculous that it's under 100MB with those visuals.

It looks hot, no doubt, but it also looks extremely similar to many modern 3D graphics demos that come from the current demoscene. They get huge results from tiny packages that compress a lot and get a lot of economy out of procedural generation and effective use of few unique models and textures. There are some amazing collected works at scene.org.

ha! Maybe that's why they do it. Everyone's a top player! (as long as you don't scroll up)

IMO, not at all. SSDHD looks better (this is subjective, I know) runs in 1920x1080 at rock solid 60FPS. NanoAssault is 1280x720p at 30FPS with some drops even (sorry, I'm sticking to this, unless someone can prove otherwise with an actual 60FPS footage) Ultimately though, SSDHD has a technical feature that makes it really stand out, and that is localized/volume destructibility of its asteroids, which is not only its biggest technical feat, but also a fantastic gameplay twist. I see nothing groundbreaking like that in NanoAssault.

SSDHD is a more complex and overall deeper twin stick shooter. But I'm a bit confused; have you actually played Nano Assault in person or are you going by media online? The game is 60fps. It's as clear as any other game that runs at a virtually locked 60fps update.
People are not lying or something.
Isn't NAN 60FPS? Shin'en has a 60FPS trailer of the game, it wouldn't make any sense to release a 60FPS trailer if the game is 30FPS.

According to friends i know SSHD has slowdowns...
And i played Nano Assault and can confirm its rock solid 60fps.
And yeah theres an official 60fps trailer... See the link Tenki posted.

I don't know how Stardust gets so much love. Outside of resolution, the game is hella flat compared to Nano Assault.
So good. That screenshot also doesn't capture the motion blur that shows up from time to time.

That trailer is 60FPS. The only good quality video I've seen of the game before this was the previously posted 420MB video which was encoded at 60FPS but the footage encoded was running at 30FPS and every other frame was a duplicate of the previous one.
Not that I've seen. It drops some frames when you activate a bomb and if it happens to produce some kind of quick and screen filling chain reaction explosion.
I wasn't claiming anyone was lying, but people are notoriously bad at recognizing that something runs in 30FPS, when the game is not moving things around very quickly. There was also the fact that the author of the video seemed to know what he was doing, and was saying that the video he posted is completely representative.

Its MY video. I encoded it. And its real 60fps. The "other frame is a duplicate" is wrong. I checked it.
I have both games and Nano Assault looks better.
And even better on the GamePad. It's beautifully optimized for the smaller screen.
Most GAF members on my friendlist did twice my score, I need to practice as soon as I stop my weird addiction to Little Inferno.

Lol, OK, sorry. What did you use to watch it and confirm this? I used Quicktime for both your video and Shin-en's trailer, and their trailer is clearly 60FPS. When I do frame by frame in it, every frame is different. Hell, if I just watch your video right after I watch their trailer, it's clear it's running at half the framerate, I don't need to inspect frame by frame.

Nope, you're not awesome.
I know this because I am awesome, and you're not a member of my club.
SSDHD is the more technically impressive game. 1080p/60 with a fuck load of geometry being thrown around, along with the impressive physics when each asteroid shatters into bits.
NAN looks nice, with pretty shader effects, but it isn't doing anything technically complex and runs at a lower resolution. If anything, I think NAN is much closer in looks and play style to Mutant Storm Empire than SSDHD.
NAN is pretty lightweight in content and difficulty, but for quick blasts now and again, it's great. Over the past few years, there have been a handful of amazing twin stick shooters and loads of duds. NAN sits somewhere in the middle. It plays well and is fun (the most important thing). It just doesn't do anything special or unique.

That's not true at all.
However Manfred Linzner composed music for Iridion 3D/2 that are very reminescent of Chris Huelsback's Turrican tracks.
Since Nanostray 2 Linzner haven't composed the soundtrack for Shin'en games (Schioeler did).
Ah thanks. Damn internet.

Nothing much to add... Just freaking love this game. It's definitely my favorite twin-stick shooter (but by no means the best). Just something about it makes me keep playing over and over again. It's so damn pretty, too!
But what's the secret to getting ultra-high scores?
