Online gaming publication Eurogamer has confirmed that Mario Kart 8 runs at 1080p and a blistering 60 frames-per-second. The game maintains the resolution and the 60fps even in two player split screen, which is quite impressive. Mario Kart 8 is due for release exclusively on the Wii U on May 30th.
“You probably knew this bit already, but Mario Kart 8 is looking like another polished racer from Nintendo. The game’s visuals are beautiful, 1080p and 60fps even in two-player split-screen, while new characters and weapons such as the Piranha Plant keep things feeling fresh amongst otherwise familiar surroundings.”
Thanks, David

Is it me or did Nintendo fans just turn into trolls instantly lol
What, me?
Lol and people think that WiiU is weak!
I laugh at their ignorance! XD
Yeah! Though, it doesn’t matter for me, I only own one for the Nintendo games. Still good with power, as it gives them better tools to use!
Not “trolling”. More like “retaliation” against a certain “Xbot” who has the knack to have such loser lifestyle by typing endless dumb shit on the computer playing tough and smart in such failed fashion.
And that fail of a troll and God’s creation is “Sasori”
It’s like in The Dark Knight Rises when the police are against the prisoners at the end. They act scared and then Batman shows up and they go right at them.
Nintendo Commander Quadraxis you don’t own a Wii U stop commenting on this god damn article. Only 3ds please
I’m not the Nintendo Comander…
Another claim made by that retard Sasori debunked
GameXplain said its 720p and 60 FPS and when It was 4 player local match, it dropped down to 720p 30 FPS
Let’s wait and see. Gamexplain was at an event. Lets wait and see if this comes up again.
Andre from Gamexplain said he wasn’t sure and he didn’t really care and gave a guess.
Nintendrones… Welcome to 2011, late to the party once again I see. Your like the “off-one” Down syndrome kid who happens to pull off taking the cute prom queen home after the party but when your about to do the “deed” you can’t seem to “arise to the occasion”. Which leads to epic failure and your family members hearing your trisomy 21 but familiar groans from behind the bedroom door. Though they have some peace knowing you still found a way to lighten the load….
Again with the Down Syndrome..you know, I hope every last one of your own family happens to get one out of nowhere so you can shut the fuck up about calling others over a serious psychological issue because of a fucking video game.
It’s not a psychological issue, it’s a genetic issue. It’s not like bipolar disorder, ya dingus.
What a mouth breather.
digital foundary will expose you nintendrones.
n’ah…
Finally decided to show your ugly ass brockback gorilla self.
Read em and weep LOSER. MK8 at 1080p and 60FPS. Try to bullshit around that now.
http://memecrunch.com/meme/CRGK/lol-cow
Sasori in his natural habitat.
Isn’t Digital Foundry part of Eurogamer troll?
seems someone (e.g. YOU, sasori! Hahaha, how pathetic) was wrong with the resulotion of MK8. Hahahaha
OK… That’s why ps4/xb1 have too. Ps4 watchdogs 1080p 60fps… Oh wait… You dumbasses don’t know spechs. Ps4 off shelf parts and x86 lol. Wii u custom parts. Hmmmm… Lol
Fuck off, Sony Pony
Wii u is stronger then xb1.
No shit. XD X1 can’t run pass 900p without blowing up or sacrificing in-game detail and yet still can’t pass 900p anyway.
Let’s see if that Xbot idiot Sasori still talks out of ass about MK8 being 720p after this. XD
The irony is…. the Wii U has more 1080p games that run in 60fps than the Xbox One… and that is just sad XD
That’s because Wii U has the hardware that can do 1080p straight away. If you remember the GPGPU has 32Mb of low latency, high bandwidith eDRAM – that is how it renders 1080p.
In fact because it’s got more than 32Mb, it could render it twice. It’s that fast and powerful.
No, its ecactly the other way round- WiiU does indeed have 32 MB. BUT- instead of Xbox One, which can only use this for the GPU, WiiU can use it for CPU AND GPU- and- the biggest difference is- WiiU uses onboard High-End Compression (S3TC or such its called) which the gamecube used many years ago… So that means- WiiU is not only 32 MB Ram for GPU, but 6:1 compression – so that is about 120 MB or so- that allows it to run @ 1080p. E.g. if you run a game like Mario Kart 8 at 1080p with 2 players you seriously stress the GPU, and thus i guess 64 MB is used (with compression), and the CPU in the game will just sleep the most of the time ;) And Xbox One has no compression for the eSRAM. AND: eSRAM of Xbox One is much slower than WiiUs eDRAM.
wii u doesn;’t even have any 1080p game but mario kart 8.
Fake ass brokeback gorilla, don’t even try to damage control and now say MK8 is 1080p when just less than 24 hours ago you were so high on retardation talking shit about the opposite of what you just said.
Look at the resolution support of all Wii U games on eShop and tell me how many games you see that has 1080p on its info list.
Exactly. Now STFU. YOU LOST AGAIN.
#HypocriteXbotExposed
Yes, because “resolution SUPPORT” is the same thing as the game being rendered in that resolution.
Damage control 101.
wrong! Trine 2 is 1080p too, and Nano Assault would have been 1080p, but Shinen said, it would make no difference at all, so they made it 720p and 60 Frames instead and chose to make an unoptimized game which came out instantly. There are more games going to be 1080p in Future too…
Mh3u
The legend of Zelda the wind Waker hd
Sonic Lost World, Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros U, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD. Sir, would you like me to hand your ass now?
umm.. wind waker? monster hunter?
Look, I want the Wii U to succeed. I like the controller, especially enjoy the games, and I don’t even think the hardware is abysmal, but let’s give credit (or a lack thereof) only where it’s due. Xbox One being unable to run CoD:AW at 1080p, 60fps ≠ Xbox One being unable to run Super Mario 3D World at 1080p, 60fps. It’s not so simple as those numbers. The confounding factor is the subject game. Super Mario 3D World, while very nice to look at, has very simple textures, and very little going on in the field. Meanwhile, CoD has very complex, realistic textures and a very hectic environment. Come to think of it, in the very first stage of Super Mario 3D World, we can observe the Wii U struggling somewhat to keep up when two or more players use giant mushrooms and plow through the blocks and goombas on that one bridge, causing a significant framerate drop.
Reiterating, I enjoy Wii U, and I LOVE what it’s software has offered to me so far, but in terms of power, if any Wii U game were, by some unlikely quirk of fate, ported to Xbox One, and done so properly, Xbox One would take any of Wii U’s games to new visual heights with ease.
Mario 3D World was a rushed game, AAA, so you cannot expect that you have all 60 Frames left at 100% time, with 4 players-support! Mario 3D World does only use 1 CPU core and about i guess 5-10% of GPU-power at all. Well, it all depends on how much time you got for programming. Its no PS4, where you can throw cheap-ports of PC on it, hahaha.
Mario 3D World was rushed? Lol no. It took them an entire year after the Wii U launched just for it to come. If anything, NSMBU was rushed. SM3DW is AMAZING. If that’s rushed, then I’d like to see what’s “complete”. :P
I could say, it was not 100% optimized (e.g. no stuttering in 4-player mode), but only 50-75% optimized (e.g. no stuttering at least in 1-player mode and with 2 players). Well, its allways like that. Nintendo was a little rushed with the game, they said it themselves, that HD-games was too much work for them. And yeah it took them 2 years… That is a joke for such kind of game. Mario Galaxy 1 (!) took them nearly 3 years. Every month more counts. Hell, for a simple handheld-game (3DS)- Mario 3D Land, they needed nearly 2 years- do you really think its the same work for a grown-up homeconsole to develop? No, its not i can guarantee you.
the game Mario 3D World uses only 1 cpu-core and thus is cheap to develop- but the ressources are limited. And- the optimization was not 100% complete, but at least a big fraction of that. But this leads to stuttering in some parts when you see games like Pikmin 3 etc. – its the same there.
I guess when the game X- the mostwanted of all roleplay-gamers- wiil come out- it will be in development for more than 3 years. This is my guess.
Mario 3D World rushed? lol What a hilarious crock of shit. The development toom place after Mario 3D Land on 3DS which was back in 2011, teo years before 3D World was released.
Do your homework and get the facts right next time.
Stranga = Mr.Damage Control
Xbox one games are more detailed and have more going on in them, if they brought halo 4 or Skyrim to x1 then it would run 🏃 it above 1080p, and higher frame rate. But those games are less demanding. Seeings how most people only own a 720p screen any way, it’s not really a big deal
If most people have 720p, then why are most HD’s 1080p? LMAO
its funny how the in game graphics look last gen and have 2007 textures and polygons. did you see ryse son of rome in game graphics, those graphics trashes any wii u game.
could be, but that game is shit
So damn late to the party. We were just celebrating about what a fucking joke and sore loser you are getting debunked in one big shot of an article.
http://memecrunch.com/meme/CRGK/lol-cow
Why do keep being a lolcow?
You can polish a turd until it shines but you will just end up with a shiny turd. And that is what ryse is.
Its 720 eurogamer lol
“720 eurogamer”? Never heard of them
Does anyone still remember the time where nobody actually gave a shit about frame rates and instead focused on gameplay instead?
Oh now when this game is finally confirmed to be at 1080p by a reliable news sources, all of the sudden you PS and Xbot fanboys now wanna play that card after all of that crap talking about Wii U being weak and MK8 not running at 1080p 60FPS that just got royally debunked in one blow.
XD God I love seeing fanboys squirm and look stupid after strong facts are presented in their faces.
You’re assuming that Anonymous is a fanboy. His or her comment didn’t show bias in one way or another.
Before, it was Nintendo fanboys who kept saying “graphics and resolution don’t matter, gameplay does” and now suddenly they all want to claim it matters so much? It’s a double standard.
If a game doesn’t have 1080p 60 fps and still plays great, then really, who does care? Sure, 1080p 60fps will make the game look great! But reporting on these things so often…. It’s just more fuel for these stupid “console wars.”
I had more fun on my SNES, N64, and PS1 than on most of the recent consoles.
Nintendo fans believe Graphics are not the end all, not that they don’t matter. Dumb Dumb. Drones always love twist arguments. Sigh.
Fans =/= Fanboys.
Wow
We’re not celebrating this game over graphics. We’re celebrating the fact that this is the probably the very first big Wii U game that disproves all negative BS stories resources and 3rd parties who clearly hate Nintendo for dumb reasons wanna shove up gullible people’s asses.
There’s nothing about us being hypocrites or whatever dumb shit you wanna think of to damage control our excitement just because you hate Nintendo too. Go enjoy your overpriced Betamax cable box that acts like an I.E.D trying and failing to run 1080p and forcibly equipped with NSA Camera that sucked before and after the fact.
I don’t care about graphics, but I do care when people make false claims. If people are saying all this crap about the Wii U, there is now evidence to prove them wrong, but being a fanboy, they still don’t believe it. I hate fanboyism so much, it’s just a bunch of hypocrites calling other people fanboys, when they themselves are fanboys. SO stupid.
Gosh, I’m not a Sony/Xbox drone. I mean, okay, it’s great that this game has good frame rates, but in the end gameplay is king. I’m Tired of hearing “Oooh PS4 1080p 60fps!!!” I don’t think Mario Galaxy/OoT was 60fps right?
Galaxy was 60fps
I’m also tired of this sick “1080p 60fps” trend, I only want a cool looking game on my TV. Wii games are cool looking, and I didn’t cared about its graphics. I buy a game consol because of its game, not because of its graphics.
Mario Galaxy did run at 60FPS.
Calm down, he actually does have a point. He’s not saying the game is bad, in fact he never even said that.
1080p 60fps well am sure its a lie or it didn’t take barley any effort because the graphics are no way near next gen or at knack’s graphics.
knack is shit
So too late to damage control yourself being proven wrong royally.
And to remind you again, Knack is a boring POS and not even as graphically impressive as Super Mario Galaxy.
Knack looks like shit and it is a shitty game in general fuck I’d rather play the shitty pile of garbage that is COD Ghosts over Knack, the ps4 is a great system but Mine is still collecting dust while I’m playing MH3u and DKTF with an occasional game of Pikmin 3 or 3D World, now please stop trolling and get a life.
You compared F****** Knack to Mario Kart?!?!?! Dafaq, is Knack???
Dude. If 360 and ps3 had games that pulled off 1080p/60fps, then considering that the wiiu is stronger than those two, it can do the same. And yes I will say that knack looks good but compared to mk8, mk is obviously better looking than knack.
why are you dishonoring Aizen-sama with such stupid comments?
DUH? The Wii U has slightly more power than the X360 and PS3. Of course it’s games aren’t going to look as detailed as X1 and PS4 games running on much more powerful hardware…
so do i its hilarious XD
No, because it used to be all about how many bits they had.
It’s all meaningless bullshit, and “gamers” will clutch to any fact they can just so they can brag about their epeens.
Not really. People were talking about how Mario sunshine was 30fps instead of 60fps back in the gamecube era
Which was stupid given like 0.1% of gamecube owners had the component cable. and that was the only way of getting it to output in progressive scan.
Yes, I agree, but since we are playng game in a machin able to create HD graphics, it’s normal to owners of this machine to want games that make use of its potential.
I only care about the game look beautiful on my TV.
Gameplay is what makes up about 60% performance nowadays. The graphics do in favt count as as something you should care about. It’s 2014 now and we do have technology powerful enough to run great looking things. Mario Kart 8’s graphics are extremely gorgeous. There are even Wii games that look amazing. Like Super Mario Galaxy. No offense, but if they made Mario Kart 8 look no different than Wii, I’m pretty sure I would not be as hyped as I am for it now. I don’t care about what has the strongest graphics, I just want it to look good and run smooth at all. Would you buy MK8 if it was 480P and ran below 30FPS despite the fact that it’s a new game?
Yes, I remember those days (even though I’m not old) when people played games to have fun not just too look at how pretty the game is.
You’re fucking stupid if you don’t care about frame rate.
Do you only care about Graphics?
No, but I care about frame rate.
But it also makes you stupid if you only care about graphics so….
30fps is gameplay.
60fps is smooth gameplay.
Just imagine f-zero-gx with 30fps… It would play like shit!
given 99.999% of gamecube owners didn’t have a component cable, and thus could only connect in 480i/576i, the game was in 30fps…
That’s neat :)
It’s sad that people care about this so much… Some people bought PS4s over XBox Ones because the “XBone” couldn’t do 1080p… wow… What happened to gaming…
Degeneration of gamers… Did you know the all NES games played at 60FPS? ‘Nuff said
That is about the most misinformed comment I’ve read here.
Because PS4 is cheaper and does everything seamlessly easier rather than promoting TV, forced gimmick camera that failed before and used for illegal spying by NSA and made a console overpriced plus acting like an I.E.D while struggling to run pass 900p. And did I forgot to mention that Microsoft themselves destroyed the Xbox fanbase’s trust when they revealed X1 last year with all of that BS DRM policies that treats gamers like products on parole?
Why do you think PS4 is obviously doing better?
what happen to the gimmick gamepad that barley added anything new or innovative. at least the kinnect 2.0 added a ton of hot new features like face recognization and skype chat.
face recornition? skype? sorry but for me those are gimmicks.
Kinect my ass. PSEye already beat it to the punch since PS2.
Face Recognition and Skype…wow. Those are revolutionary…except, what does those have anything to do with the gaming experience itself AND early 2000s Blackberry already had the same shit so Kinect, in that point, is SO LATE with those features that has been around for more than decade. Nothing original with the failed forced NSA Motion Camera.
Gamepad however is more than what Dreamcast was. Off TV Play, built in sensor bar, integration with Wii Remote control (Wii Sports Club Golf for example), all Gamepad can do Microsoft tried to pathetically copy with Smartglass so if its a gimmick, why is your buddy Microsoft copycatting it plus Sony with Vita?
Again, you lose.
wii u two screens concept and touch screen from 2004?
Xbox with a controller. A concept since 2001 and still has not changed.
Your argument is invalid.
Googlr blooger hoger not dekile remendy toph jofseza…
Avarataia zemerikava tapam nevrivoja zecito…
Are you stupid or a troll?
HE’S STUPID
it evolved the concept
Which still proven valid and popular to this day.
What does Xbox have? A ginormous first gen Xbox controller? Ripoff Live service which you can get the same experience everywhere else FOR FREE? A fucking failure of a motion controlled Kinect that can’t even detect a swinging dildo accurately? And noe an overpriced DRV that explodes and can’t render games at 1080p seamlessly plus sports a PC architecture thats about 35 years old.
Sasori! The Gamepad is not only a gimmick. You can`t access/Use Miiverse without it. You cannot use OffTV-Play without the gamepad. And more and more games make use of the gamepad. Even the Remote-Feature is only available in the gamepad. I use this very often, as you don`t need any TV-remote anymore! It is the death of TV-remotes or learning tv-remotes. And even the internetbrowser of WiiU is MUCH BETTER than even PS4s or Xbox Ones. The Problem of Xbox One is- its using bing – Uargh- and its slower! And- you don`t have many tabs there and you can only use that on the TV- whereas on WiiU you can take it with you and its much more comfortable- e.g. in my case, use it in the kitchen or even in the garden. On PS4 the problem is – it does not have more tabs! And its only on TV too. So you see now? The Gamepad makes things, even the shop-visit much more easier. Take your gamepad with you- e.g. in my case in the kitchen and visit the shop and buy something- no watching on the TV, lol.
What about the Kinect 2.0 that added… nothing… but you have to always have it on. The gamepad barely brought anything new? Watch Dogs for Wii U is being delayed to make the Gamepad have extra features. Also, new gameplay possibilities, and stuff? Please at least put SOME thought into what you type?!
Wii U has more power than XB1 and PS4 if you look at the Gamez. When you play with Nintendo, you’re playing with power.
Or because the Ps4 cost 100$ less, there was less doom hype over the Ps4, XBone had (used game bullshit/Unable to show a working system until a month before release and the % of faulty XB360’s) all of that contributed to the Poor XBone sales not because the Ps4 has better graphics or anything like that.
Blarg
720, 1080, I can’t tell the difference. Mario Kart 8 looks gorgeous either way and PROVES that the difference between the pixels is meaningless.
Our empire made the Gamecube games look 1080p anyway…
Xenoblade sure looks fantastic on a CRT
You’re right about that. The game looks beautiful regardless but now this article has proven what the game is capable of and most importantly:
This has debunked ALL BS Sasori has been uttering out of his Xbot ass all this time and finally shut his ass up. XD
Here’s a thought…what doesn’t debunk his sayings? I mean he still CLAIMS the 360 is better to the wii u in every way when by others including shokio and reviewtechUSA that the wii u clobbers the 360 by far…INCLUDING GRAPHICS but by a little.
He even said with all stupidity that smart phone games are better than 3ds games!!
offcourse you cant tell the difference because its the first time seeing a nintendo game in basic hd that has been around in 2005.
YES!!! and you upgraded to HD with your wii u, congratulations!!!
Have you even seen “HD” games in 2005 when 360 came out? It still look like a shitty Xbox 1 game back when it was released 3 years prior.
Again, you lose.
http://memecrunch.com/meme/CRGK/lol-cow
Every look at this picture of Sasori in his natural habitat.
Do you even have sources to back up what your saying?
He never does…
Ever.
He can’t. His brain is his ass and his mouth is one big fucking anus where he shits everywhere.
Who cares about the amount of “p” in a game! xD (I’m sorry, I had to…)
Yes, yes, yes, yes, the Wii U console is strong enough for a direct fight with PS4/XBO! 1080p 60 fps, NICE! Confirmed!
It may be a small box like ants, it is what comes out of it!
Wii U, MK8 has beautiful graphics, and all who say otherwise are trolls, or jealous because they bought PS4/Xbo1 and now are envious ..
Not to mention Smash Bros. and Bayonetta 2 are also confirmed to be native 1080p 60fps as well. A lot of people have underestimated the power of the Wii U and now after reading this news, the haters must be feeling silly
yup, exactly
Extremely silly. 27 days left until MK8’s launch in Europe, United States, and Canada.
Yep and I can’t wait. May 30th can’t come soon enough
Especially the 3rd party after feeding “Wii u is weak” BS all this time and now they have destroyed the Nintendo consumer’s trust just because they’re scared of confessing that they hate working hard to make quality games anymore and thus explaining why thet jumped ship to PS4/One because its simplier to make/port games there ala “lazy and selfish”
Now when they’re exposed and proven wrong about Wii U from the start and tries to capitalize the growing Wii U, its far too late since their blind prejudice shoved them away just to kiss the more “powerful” ass.
And now when Wii U rises to the top again, probably going face to face with PS4, the 3rd parties are gonna start wishing they never talked so much shit and shoved Nintendo and the fanbase away over the whole specs nonsense because when they finally decide to make real games for Wii U when the install base skyrockets this year, its already far too late for redemption and forgiveness because unlike their own fanbases, we Nintendo fans never forget what they did and do. They had their chance since 2012 and they all threw it away so I better not hear them bitching about 3rd party support from Nintendo fans being almost gone after Wii U comes back because they themselves are to blame for tarnishing a console without even caring to try it.
It’s been a known fact for some time.
It’s what happens non-technical people do not understand hardware and people just don’t bother looking at a consoles insides.
bayonetta 2 graphics are a joke, that game completely looks 720p with a ton a screen tiring.
Irrelevant Apple to Orange argument is irrelevant.
Again, you lose.
looks better then bayonetta 1 less screen tearing, higher frame rate, better model and ect. Finaly got to around to playing it on the 360. In the end it doesn’t matter about 1080 or the graphics gameplay is what truly matters
Bayonetta 2 is confirmed by Platinum to be 720p 60fps.
People need to stop spreading around that it’s 1080p just to feel good about themselves.
Xbox Done confirmed…
It’s been done since that thing was first announced LOL
I stand corrected…
Xbox Done reconfirmed…
Wii U has a greater percentage of games that are 1080p than any of the 8th Gen systems.
And the Xbox doesn’t even have one game at that…
I’m sure the blnd fools will say “but it will get better later”…
PS4 was made to make things easy for developers, same with the Xbox done I suppose and they still can’t make games at 1080p for them…
Weak machines exposed…
ddr3 2gb ram…. thats last gen from 2005 basic pc hardware
gddr 5 8gb ram …. next gen hardware .
So in other words, nothing that interests me or real gamers…
Get the fuck out of here NintenFag.
U get thebfuck out of here Xbox!
Why don’t you?…
And yet, Xbox One still can’t do 1080p so in other words, the specs are a scam and you bought a DVR crapmed with DRM and force bundled with a failed spy camera. Congrats on making such intelligent consumer decision fucktard.
Again, you lose.
You have no clear idea what the hell are you talking about, nor can you figure IF those components are compatible with each other.
Hahahaha- funny how you compare those two! You don`t know, that GDDR 5 is in fact Graphic-ram for PS4 too (that means, it has to share all bandwith, PS4 only has around ~100 GB/s bandwith for the graphics, the rest is for the CPU, e.g. 30 GB for CPU, and the last 40 GB is for misc), whereas the WiiU has its OWN graphics-ram, and which works not like the all-known PS4 with cheap X86-technology. The WiiU has over 500 GB/s of bandwith alone- for its graphics and CPU- there nothing has to be shared. The WiiU has compression, it used this on Gamecube, on N64 and even on Wii. And now- since 2012, it uses the newest high-end-compression in its graphics-ram. Thats around 6:1 ratio, which means, there fits at least 150 MB in it. The DDR 3 ram of WiiU only acts as a “data feeder”. And the point is- the eDRAM is MUCH FASTER than the GDDR 5- as eDRAM has much lower latency (which is good for CPU) and much higher bandwith as gDDR5.
The eDRAM might be a bit tiny, but its only this if you don`t know how WiiU uses TS3C kind of texture/graphics-data-compression. 32 MB are enough for 1080p-graphics today, and even Intel plans to release its newest CPUs in 2014 with embedded eDRAM by standard (but- the con of Intel is- those eDRAM chips are NOT as high-performance as wiiU is, cause Intel cannot produce them- and Intel can only use those eDRAM chips for their embedded GPUs, not for the CPU itself).
And- Even on the next high-end-graphics-generation- the GPUs will get stacked ram and sooner than you think eDRAM too.
PS: No, gDDR5 Ram is standard since many years on PC high-end-graphics card. The Point is- this standard will change in 6 months from now on. The new standard will be “stacked ram” with Volta/Maxwell and embedded eDRAM-chips on the nextgen of Nvidia.
It’s funny you should say that, considering the Xbone only has DDR3 8Gb RAM. You were using the PS4’s RAM (GDDR5 8Gb RAM) which is a lot better. Either way, the Wii U is by far a console to have more fun on. Sony and Microsoft have been doing the same thing for years, a slight bump in graphics, and slightly changing the controller. Granted they added more features to the consoles, a lot of them didn’t affect the way in which you played games. Everybody knows that both of the kinects were epic failures, so don’t go rambling on with nonsense saying that it added amazing and different features that changed the way the console feels, because half of the time you’re left screaming “Xbox on!” at it, while it sits idly by doing squat. I had the Xbox 360, and I enjoyed it for years and I was really excited to hear about the new Xbox coming out, until after the release. All the shitty features that they were going to have, yeah no thanks. Sure they changed them, only after they realised that Sony done it right and left microsoft scrambling for things to change to get some customers back. They dug a hole so they can sit in it, and you can join them. The only annoying part is that the Xbone is going to hold “Next-gen” back.
That’s probably because it has been out for a whole year, right?
I don’t think you understand how percentages work.
Ha ha! XD Did you hear and read that Sasori?
MK8 ia at 1080p & 60FPS plus split screen.
Now go eat your own shit because you just got DEBUNKED! HA HA!

how did you expose me, knack looks better than this trash.
sorry but you’re burning pal and now you’re talking bullshit, because you can’t accept that you lose this round
Him lost this round? lol No. He long lost the war before it even started.
you’re right!!!
Exactly my friend.
For one who claims to hate PlayStation also, why bring up a shitty PS4 launch demo into your Xbot argument.
#HypocriteXbotExposed
Again, you lose.
maybe, but its gameplay was awful
Who are you talking to on the meme website?
Told you guys that this game was the best 8th gen game graphics wise
It won`t be on WiiU as there are much better competitors which will come 2014 too!
1st there is X- and X looks even better than MK8
2nd. there is Fast Racing Neo. And man, this will even get 4/8k textures. MK8 hasn`t got that. Alone this feature will make look MK8 like “Standard”. Well, MK8 of course looks good, but you have to be fair- MK8 is not the game to use WiiU @50percent load at all
3rd- there will be Sonic Boom. ANd man, did you see that? Cryengine 3. Yes, coulb be even better than MK8. But again- MK8 looks good.
4th- well were will be a physics-game for WiiU soom. and even this looks very good!
5th and then there is Mario Kart 8 on my personal 5th place graphics-wise
Master Race.
Go now and play your PSfourframes with broken 900p and 90” control.
Sasori, where are you? :-P :-P :-P ;-)
That dumbass Brokeback gorilla has faced the music so big that he’s gone into chickenshit mode and decided to not show his ugly ass face in this particular article because he knows damn well we’re gonna have a field day with that idiot. XD
What an Xbot troll & a pussy.
why an pussy? aren’t you the social reject who hides behind his wii u to comment to me with a last gen console that doesn’t even surpport adobe 10.1 exposed.
AND YOU STILL OWN A WII U!!! EXPOSEEEEED!!!!
IF YOU HAVE BALLS, MAKE A VIDEO OF YOU DESTROYING YOUR WII U, SO WE CAN CONFIRM YOU DON’T LIKE NINTENDO AND THAT YOU’RE A “MAN”
XD Wow. Speaking of hiding behind Wii U, how was your morning of rude awakening when you saw this article and your BS MK8 fanboyism talk got annihilated in one fail swoop?
And what’s with the Adobe 10.1 so suddenly? Wii U is NOT a PC dipshit not like what Xbox has been trying to be and lost billions like Sony with PS3. That was never an issue you brought up over Wii U before so this proves you ran out of ammunition to spray crap like a noob.
Again, you lose.
Why does the Wii U have to support Adobe, its not even a PC, its doing what exactly its suppose to be doing, being a game console. Xbox and Ps4 just want to PCs, but they fail.
That dumbass Brokeback gorilla has faced the music so big that he’s gone into chickenshit mode and decided to not show his ugly ass face in this particular article because he knows damn well we’re gonna have a field day with that idiot. XD
What a loser Xbot troll & a pussy.
Double post by some glitch. Sorry guys. ^^;
This game..it will blow my mind in every aspect
<3 <3 <3 NINTENDO Wii U
Sasori is hiding lol
Of course. XD That troll has finally met his day of self-reckoning and he’s hiding in shame that all of that BS Big boy talk of putting MK8/Wii U down was nothing more than a cheesy internet tough guy act that even kids can do a better job than him
i wasn’t really hiding, just busy with my life while you social rejects damage control 24/7.
In other words you were in you bedroom
lol
in his bedroom what a loser!!!
XD lol What life? Fucking your gorilla for a mother in a low light basement?
I’ll probably never play split screen Mario Kart 8, which is sad. Ugh. This will probably be the first home console Mario Kart game I haven’t played local MP. Everyone around me is too busy with life or doesn’t play games anymore.
At least I’ll have online mp. Hopefully the servers are good. :3
Yeah man, I feel you. They’ve moved on…
Knowing past MK games since DS, the online experience has gotten even better in 8. :)
Most people I know think that they have moved on but I know that when I’ll turn on my Wii U and start MK8 they won’t be able to resist not playing it. ;)
The reason this game runs at that is because of the low polygon simple environments. Any game can run at 1080p if the environments are made simple enough. Nintendo just copy pastes the same low polygon models (that look like N64 models lololol); trees, bushes, flowers, etc, everywhere. Just look at the same low polygon simplistic trees pasted everywhere. They even copy paste exactly the same windmill everywhere lololol. This area is a bit empty, let’s just copy paste another of those trees over here LOLOLOL! The 2D side scrolling launch Mario game ran at 720p, Donkey Kong TF also ran at 720p. The underpowered running on 7 year old hardware Baby U isn’t even capable of running a lame 2D side scrolling game at 1080p. Donkey Kong TF’s environments have much more detail than this which is why that run at 720p and this one is above that because of the simple low polygon models it has. But don’t worry though, Iwata will save the Baby U with his “new” QOL and “non wearable devices” approach LOLOLOLOL.
Even I’m a Sony fan and that was complete damage control.
Katamari = Sasori ( :—— )LoLOLoL
MK8 low polygons, ahahahahaha, obviously we do not see the same game!
For the vast majority confirmed that MK8 look at all better than Forza fifth;-)
The effects are awesome!
Trool shut up!
That’s clearly not Sasori..sorta but probably one of his best bitch monkey followers trying to his trolling battles for him but failed short.
How pathetic.
Better? That’s subjective, it all depends on the graphical style you like, but if you really think that the Wii U would be able to handle a game like Forza Motorsport 5 than you are just plain retarded.
Project cars ball bag
Oh please…..Project CARA blows Forza 5 like yesterdays custard.
If Forza 5 looks exactly like 4 but with static audience detail from a typical 90s arcade game, then Wii U can run it without a problem. Project Cars already proved that theory to be more than possible.
Fast Racing Neo says hello! ;) Oh- you didn`t know about that game? Not my problem GOD! You are GOD, you have to know everything…
theirs barley any new triangle polygon because the charater modles were ripped from the wii and 3ds.
Confess brokeback. You got nothing left to damage control your debunked BS talks.
Again, you lose.
Low polygons? LOL YOu’re tripping. The polygon count here is absurdly high, you need a lot of polygons for curved roads after all
If you try to troll, don’t do it like that, kid, because you’re waaaaay too obvious. Al these “LOLOLOL” make you sound like a retarded child and you exaggerate trolling too much (MK64’s characters were 2D btw). Also, I don’t think there’s any game with 300 kinds of different trees.
2/10. Try harder next time, maybe you’ll be a good troll when you’re 14. Don’t give up and follow your dreams!!
XD lol Now you’re just encouraging him to keep trolling in such failed fashion but then again, I love seeing these trolled fighting a losing battle and then we’ll have the sweetest pleasure to destroy them.
More lolcows to milk!!!!!
FUCK YEAH more lolcows!!!
That’s true and its more fun to drink their tears after owning them in their own troll games. XD
No, I mean, he’s a cute troll. He’s probably 10 or 12, so he has to start being a little retarded kid and then learn to troll properly with arguments that aren’t so obviously stupid if we wants to flame. A troll has to be subtle. Give him some time.
Now you’re sounding like that sore loser Sasori.
That POS Knack has a lower polygon count and runs half of the framerate of MK8.
This is the real beginning of Wii U’s reckoning and debunking of 3rd Party’s 16 months worth of “Wii U is weak” BS getting slammed so its time to face the music. Wii U is striking back.
diverclub and the crew look way better than this game. deal with it.
Awww. Baby brokeback gorilla got his nerves struck when MK8 said to be 1080p/60FPS?
Wanna milk bottle or sip from your gorilla mother’s hair flatchest?
Driveclub and The Crew are nothing different from each other. Just another generic Need for Speed knockoffs and speaking of that, we already have Hot Pursuit on Wii U and Project Cars coming so no thanks. We’re good on accepting more risned & repeated racing games.
Again, you lose.
Fast Racing Neo-Model looks better than “Delayclub” and even better than “The Crew” (which will be surely a 60-70% title). FRN will make use of FX/SSAA and even 4/8k-textures, which PS4 cannot even display (has no games today which use it).
Your entire comment equals damage control, you are pathetic and hilarious.
even kameo a xbox 360 launch game has very much the same graphics as this game. even perfect dark zero and need for speed graphics and polygon rate look the same to mario kart 8. even fable for xbox 360 looks like this.
My god the illogical damage control and misspelling/grammar is unbelievable in this one. XD
Again, you lose.
Irrelevant comment that provide nothing to progress the conversation. You must be real desperate to damage control.
you clearly don`t know what you are talking about!
1st: Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze was 720p, and was made in more than 2 years from an HD-unexperienced company called “Retro” And no- Retro is not Nintendo. Its a 2nd-party if you would call it that. Yes, it belongs to nintendo, but Nintendo has their own sorrows, so they cannot run after their retro-studios. Thats why it has to be 720, to reach the 2 years of development-time-goal.
2nd) Mario 3D World is not a side-scrolling game. It has sometimes a few points where it scrolls- yes- but even Mario Galaxy has that, idiot! Mario 3D World was developed in a little more than 2 years- that is not enough for 1080p-game. You would need at least 3 years for an 1080p-game- or- if not that- an team build of very experienced Nintendo-developers and you have many of them- to get a game running with 1080p in less than 2 years.
3rd) Mario Kart 8 had only 2 years of development-time, which is clearly not enough for more details. The time just doesn`t fit. You have 1.5 years of concept work and making the things and assets which are needed, and then you have 0.5 years for optimizations. This is not enough for making more. Thus- MK8 does not use more than a fraction of WiiUs power. It only uses 1 CPU core and i guess- 20% of GPU-power at least.
Mario Kart 8 should be 1080p- and if that is true- you cannot have more wishes for a 2 year development. It just takes much more time (e.g. 3 years, like X will have till the end of 2014) to make more details or to better optimize games.
Didn’t GameXplain say something along the lines of this already?

Eat it sasori!!!
+1 For All of Us, MK8, Wii U & Nintendo
+0 For All Dumbass Xbot haters playing their 1080p-less I.E.D for a cable box.
Should’t Nintendo confirm this ?
yes, but is funny to annoy sasory!!! : )
well that would mean that the CPU is in fact fairly capable for such a small economical machine
2 (or 4) different viewpoints aren’t all that much more taxing for the GPU (mostly higher memory usage for textures and models) but the CPU has to take care of quite a bit more animations and collision physics and yet it’s still able to handle all the necessary culling at the same time
Poison comes in small bottles :-)
That’s what Wii U’s GPGPU is for: Its to handle both jobs of CPU/GPU combined as one unit.
Every fool in the 3rd Party who has only looked at one small part of the motherboard like Besethda claim its weak without caring to thoroughly explore the entire architecture. Now that more Nintendo games and very few 3rd party like Project Cars are coming out proving these lazy fuckers wrong, Wii U is now looking like its ready to get on its feet and go toe to toe with PS4. 1080p-less Xbox One doesn’t count for shit since its mostly focused on everything else thats pointlessly stupid than gaming itself like TV and Kinect.
why are you even bothering to speak to me
i don’t see any reason to talk with complete mooks
just because our opinions have some overlap does not mean we’re on the same side
you’re up to your shoulders in the behind of what’s generally known as fanboyism and it makes me cringe to even be adressed by that kind of ilk
Then why are you here?
Good question. Now what’s your excusable answer. B/
so unless people speak to fanboys like yourself they don’t have any reason to be here?
yeah that seems appropriately self centered
also i don’t owe you an explanation for anything at all
and now please refrain from adressing me again
Exactly. You got nothing else to say that’s sensible in any way.
Now please retreat to your closet room where Harry Potter use to sleep.
CPU Does not affect Frame-rate that much. E.g. in MK8 theres no complex physics, you know? Its not a “racing simulator” like C.A.R.S. is. so – no the CPU does not much in this game. It is even said, that Mario Kart 8 is only developed in 2 years, as it uses only one cpu-core. One CPU-core of WiiU is 25% more powerful than Wii-broadway-processor, that said, this counts WITHOUT the more of cache, without the eDRAM, without optimization. With the eDRAM (which WiiU CPU can make use of), with that much more of Cache- there is at least 80-90% more power.
on PC today you can clearly see, that on 1080p-games, the CPU does not affect any more. The lower the resolution gets, the cpu gets more and more important.
Well, let’s be honest here, it’s a racing game without realistic graphics, so I personally can imagine that achieving 1080p + 60fps on a game like this isn’t as hard as in, let’s say, open world games or other complex types of games. But no matter what, still pretty cool if this really turns out to be true!
you’re wrong, everything has its pros and cons, racing game has a speed and it takes a good hardware, or open world games have again their demands
Cough Project Cars Cough.
Its about polycount not how realistic your game is
diverclub and the vrew look better.
Diver Club and The Vrew? What the hell are those?
XD Dumbass brokeback forgot to do his household spelling lessons again.
Wish I can stamp a big ass red F on his five head while wearing a plastic bag of course and then kick his ass until his ugly gorilla face is becomes beyond unrecognizable not even the world’s top forensics can figure out his identity.
Mad because Forza 5 looked like a half-assed 90s arcade game and Project Cars is coming for Wii U to make your Betamax look like 1080p-less POS which it already is? Plus, why praise one of those games which happens to be a PS4 title and you, like the Wii U, stupidly hate it too? Because PS4 wasted the Xbox One bar none?
Again, you lose.
you do have a point, racing games are traditionally somewhat less demanding, however regarding your argument about it having a realistic art style: toy story is an animated movie without realistic art style… try rendering that in realtime on a modern PC.. it won’t happen, even on the most powerful workstation
regardless, MK8 still looks gorgeous and considering that it can handle 4 way split screen (if this turns out to be correct that is) @ 60 fps and in 1080p does show that many people have underestimated it (as i fully expected they had)
slight correction:
“about it *not* having a realistic art style”
you don´t have 60 frames @ 4 players. No game ever achieved 60 Frames @ 4 player-splitscreen! It was already said, that WiiU gets 30 frames at 3 way splitscreen-mode. And- my guess is – you only have 1080p @ singleplayer/dualplayer-mode. Otherwise it is 720p @ 30.
sasori got butthurt
http://www.generadormemes.com/meme/04uode
butthurt over what. a mario rehash running 1080p 60fps, the same old mario games that have ‘cartoon” graphics. meh
So you finally confess taht you were wrong about Mario Kart 8 being 720p just yesterday?
Again, you lose.
Obviously, since you love to comeback and expose your stupidity to the internets more each day.
butthurt about everything lol
Oh wait- Mario Rehash? What is “Shadowfall” then? Killzone 5? Killzone 7? Killzone 9? Who cares? Go play for own “rehash”-games, sasorideidaraobi!
WTF…
i dont see aby diffrent with 30fps or 60fps. even 1080p or 720p.
okay if a game is slow maybe than, but when its a racer or shooter you dont have the time to make a different between 1080 and 720.
jesus… what problem you guys all got with that.
i still wanna know wich power the Wii U has, because with mk8 you dont see it.
i wanna a real game like uncharted, tlou… a real adventure with a great story etc. then we know what the u can do. but i guess this only happen when the new zelda comes in a dark look, like twilight princess.
You want a real game… it’s called get your ass outside and smell the outdoors.
hey folk, thats life not a game :-)
or perhaps, its fucking game with aweome graphics ;-)
want a real game it is called killyourself
what is this for a comment?
are you stupid or have some problem? i would never wright something like that!
You got life and fantasy (video games) twisted.
Life is not a video game. lol
Well, right now the septic’s broken, so it smells pretty bad outside.
so then go wait for “Project X” (Xenoblade II), Sonic Boom or just Bayonetta 2. I guess its this kind of game, you want. Well, most Nintendo games have that magic, that they don`t allways look like Metal Gear Solid XyZ, Tomb Raider 99, Call of Muddi 85 or Battlefield (cough, Bugfield) 15. Thats reality, boy. And sorry, a game being dark does have NOTHING to do with being “real” at all. Games like “Farcry” or even “Crysis” prooved that!
I’m tired of these people wanting Zelda to be some realistic looking adventure game. Give me Zelda with Skyward Sword’s graphics or Ocarina of Time’s graphics. I’ll even take Wind Waker’s graphics. Twilight Princess was a great Zelda game, but it wasn’t the best looking Zelda. Now if Nintendo can pull off a realistic Zelda game with a more colorful appearance, I’m all for it. Anyway, I can’t wait to see what kind of artstyle Zelda U is going to use. If I remember correctly, Aonuma said it would be something we’ve never seen before.
***Ocarina of Time’s updated graphics from Ocarina of Time 3D.
It’s 720p
Come on now.
After looking at the latest MK8 news from GameXplain, MK8 is now presented in 1080p.
Face the music. Now its Wii U’s trun to gloat at all of the haters that they were dead wrong about Wii U since day one.
Its 1080p. Get over it. You lost the war of spreading BS to make PS4/One sound so special.
Nice techincal achievement.
But, still, I only care about the game being fun. I fear Nintendo trying to push graphics in our throats like Sony does.
They’re not trying to be like them but rather prove to stupid misjudging fandorks and 3rd parties wrong.
^yeah, because “3D World” looked like shit and was unplayable, right? Nintendo is gameplay first, absolutely gorgeous graphics second (;
Sasowhateverhisnameis has retired from his immense butthurt…
What a great day to destroy yet another lame ass shit talking Xbot Commander. ^_^
The enemy has retreated and hiding indefinitely but yet, we have a couple of more “followers” trying to repeat his BS in his favor to pathetically weight down a game that has severely debunked any traversed crap they say.
God I love seeing haters squirm like that. XD
Indeed…
But we shouldn’t let our guards down, another Xbot or Sonyan extremist might replace it…
Well there is Sony Commander, but even his division couldn’t even breach the first line of defense of our Republic, if they couldn’t even breach our first of defense, then it would be 10x worst if its your empire’s line of defense, it may as well be complete obliteration.
They do a fine job destroying themselves though…
But we have to be careful, they’re final weapon maybe one heck of killer. It’s going to be…
E.T. Definitive Edition…
It already disgusts me…
Its so disgusting it’ll make its predecessor look like a sacred legendary game.
i dont even have a xbox 360 or xbox one yet lol. second, retreated where? you apes dancing over a mario rehash finally being 1080p. lol
And you rejoice over rehashed Naruto games. I just exposed your hypocrisy.
So how’s the butthurt, sinking in isn’t it? Here have this picture of yourself to make you feel better.
http://memecrunch.com/meme/CRGK/lol-cow
I hope you can laugh of your own fail.
Good. Then stop talking out of your ass going buying one which will never happen.
Second, yes you did retreated because, in any usual day, you come out early to talk shit. Now stand downand stay down because again, you lose.
So how’s your Wii U doing? Have you sold it yet so you can get a X360 or XB1? Probably waiting to get Mario Kart 8 like the rest of us.
1080p, 60fps….WOW!!!
Amazing work here by the developers, yet again***
#Spoiled
#Nintendofan
is sasor an easter egg or what.
this names is more in comments then the article ;-)
No. Rather than an shit talking Xbot who is now a more hutthurt sore loser than ever now that this news has completely shot down ALL of his BS about Wii U being weak and Mario Kart 8 being “720p” and shit.
Now he’s in hiding because he knows damn well not only he got royally disproven but the second he shows up here, everyone is gonna have a field day eating his ugly Xbot ass up alive. XD
wii u is still weak, its just an mario game that has “CARTOON GRAPHICS”. how can a next gen game be 4.9gb of space. while next gen is at 20-50gb. last gen confirmed.
the size of a game doesnt have nothing to do with the cuality of the game itself, i have to admit this one you were so stupid than i had to reply
Ever heard of “compression” dumbass? That’s how Nintendo does it to make thier digital game sizes fittable for its 32GB Flash Drive you idiot.
And besides, why on earth would anyone choose 35GB over 5GB on a 500GB drive that’ll quickly be used up in several to near dozen full game downloads just because in your twisted ass reality “heavy file size = next gen”? What a damn joke.
Again, you lose.
How come a Ps4 Downloadable title uses half of the Ps4’s power? How come Dead Rising 3 uses most of the Xbomb’s power almost causing it to explode? 20-50gb games is bad optimization, people want to put as much content in games without sacrificing as much space as possible.
Your argument confirmed invalid.
If the MK8 making a Sony game would have at least 15.GB! That says it all as far as they are able, the same is true for Microsoft ;-)
loser who never heard of compression. Means, he doesn`t have a PC, i guess (cause that is, where compression is used the most today). Haha. What does it feel like to be a loser?
PS: Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is ~11 GB of space. Does it make this game next-gen? No. Space has nothing to do with “Next”-Gen at all. The best graphics i ever seen on Wii (yes, Wii, not WiiU!) was a small 40 MByte game called “Jet Rocket”. It beats nearly everything on Wii – graphicswise. And even “Fast Racing” on Wii was only 40 MByte and beats the crap out of games like “Call of Duty” graphicswise.
nope, he’s just an idiot. Give a look:
http://www.generadormemes.com/meme/ijhfmv
hahahahaha.
wiiu sucksessor in 2015 going to be on par with ps4 and xboxone
You mean a 2001 gaming PC? Lol keep trying
wiiu replacement next year wiiu will not servive this generation but the ps4 and xboxone will because of its graphics and specs and thirdparty support it has the support and you are to thick to know that
Yes except you can’t spell survive and I piss more video games than you have rationale
Heyy everybody we got the news man! :OOO
Oh yeah, Assassin’s Creed 4 on PS4 the only difference with last gen: clothing textures and trees’. LOL
So many failures in this small text. Means- you are clearly not an american! thick => Sick? To = too!- where is the point in the end? Where is it? There will be no replacement in 2015, idiot! WiiU will survive as it allready beats the best which PS4 can deliver (PS4 is nearly maxed out with Infamous)….PS: Wii didn`t have that much third-party-support and most of the games, i bought were from Nintendo itself (e.g. Mario Galaxy-series, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart) or from 2nd-party. There were only a few good thirdparty-titles, e.g. the lots of Conduit or “Red Steel” or call of duty, which was good games in those gray times. Wii did have a few good thirdparty-games, but nearly most of third-party developers ignored Wii. And- Wii was successfull not because of thirdparty rather than because of the Wiimote and the games which nintendo itself delivered.
frame rate is really important for racing games. The difference between 720p and 1080p – meh, I couldn’t care less. A racing game running less than 60 fps though is very noticable, and Nintendo never do it. To have it running at that rate in 2 player split screen is particularly impressive. I presume it lowers for 4 player but you expect that.
Hey every Nintendo-hating Xbots out there. Today’s the day that Mario Kart 8 and Wii U says hi to Xbox One with glee from their own glorious 1080p/60FPS that makes all Xbox One drones weep and wish their precious I.E.D cable box with a failed spy camera hit true 1080p/60FPS from day one.
Now Wii U is coming back on its feet and ready to fight back against the prejudice bullies who make/buy games/consoles for specs instead of games. Time to remind these fools how gaming is suppose to be done: With fun and not cheap ass hollywood realism and violence.
gaming with a gimmicky $150 controling with last gen specs. meh
yet you own one
And yet, Kinect is far worse. PSEye/Wii Remote mimicking, Skype, useless Heart monitor and Chatrolett like service where NSA can happily masturbate to your hot action at night without notice.
Gaming with a gimmicky overpriced bomb with a $100 camera that can’t even reach 1080p without blowing up as well as paying Mircosoft for my ability to play online even though I shouldn’t because I already pay my internet provider?
Why do you keep letting us milk you for the lulz?
http://memecrunch.com/meme/CRGK/lol-cow
1. Its not $150 because there isn’t any separate Gamepad on sale retard.
2. Its “Controller” not “controling” and you misspelled “Controlling” also dumbass.
3. Last gen specs? If you’re referring to Red Ring 360 and Xbox DOne, then you’re right. Otherwise, that argument for Wii U is deader than your gorilla mother.
Again, you lose.
The gamepad itself does only cost ~100 dollards, not 150 dollars, boy.
E.g. – Nintendo said, they have to subvent the WiiU- with at least 50 Euros at start. So we have 350 Euros with Game and 50 euro subvention. Meaning 400 Euro without subvention- 100 euro is for the gamepad, 50 Euro is for the included game, around 200-250 euro is for the technical things itself (white WiiU = 200 Euro technical as it has a lot less flashmemory and cheaper kind of memory too and a lot of features is missing,e,.g. premium membership and accessoires, e.g. the sensorbar, black WIiU = 250 Euro technical costs). The WiiU MCM was guessed by specialists to be ~100 dollars worth of money. The rest- the 2 GB DDR 3-Ram, the Wii-kind of technical chips (e.g. 512 MB SLC-memory for Wii-compatibility, the memory-card reader, the 32 GB flashmemory etc), the 1:1 on-the-fly-compression chips costs another 100 dollar.
WiiU DOES even have an manual included- on PS4 you have no manual as Sony decided to cut it down and you only have it “online” (which is a mess).
On WiiU you have a LOT of accessoires included- even when you buy the white standard WiiU you have an manual and the most common things which are necessary- on PS4 there is nothing included by standard, even a game is only included on PS4 if you buy a special bundle-package.
That isn’t exactly a confirmation. It’s just one other person saying it’s 1080p in vague terms without specifying if it’s upscaled or with any source from Nintendo themselves. I’m not a hater or a troll, I just don’t want people to be disappointed when another story comes out and does another NSMB U, “Oh just kidding, it’s 720p!”
Stranga you sound like a damage control bitch. Have some dignity and don’t get to the level of the xbox and Sony diehards. Yes we Nintendo fans got a great game but let’s just enjoy it without having to act like the trolls on this site. Just sayin..
Still think it’s 720p upscaled to 1080p. But who cares? It looks incredible and will play even better!
You lot care too much about other people saying things. If they’re lies, then you don’t need to debunk them, to prove them to yourselves. If the claims make you doubt, then how much did you really believe?
who’s sasori? can someone send a link to what he said?
this one is that sasori guy:
http://www.generadormemes.com/meme/ijhfmv
He’s one of those Xbot crybabies trying to shit on Nintendo and Sony’s success while his precious Xbox explodes and remain stuc in 3rd place as usual.
I wouldn’t recommend even talking to that brokeback creature who makes pointlessly irrelevant 5 minute ranting Youtube videos while living in an enclosed basement bedroom who his gorilla mother for a ladyfriend surviving $2 a day with Youtube views.
I don’t know why people continue to talk about Xbone and PS4 in this comments section. The reason I use this website for news is that I couldn’t care less about those consoles. Why not go to some general gaming news site like IGN and talk about these consoles?
Mario Kart 8 looks epic no doubt its 1080p and 60 fps
Lol @ driveclub 30 fps on ps4 fail
Pingback: Mario Kart 8 1080p ve 60 FPS | Gamer Republic
Yes we know already.
wii u fanboys are dancing like apes 1/125 games run 1080p 60fps lol. 900p is better than 720p trash.
Yet 900p really doesn’t matter because you can’t tell the difference anyways. So 900p is also trash, therefore you made your argument trash. Exposed.
and you’re dancing like a non erectus lol
and 1080 is better than 900p idiot and if xbone is as powerful as you said why it can’t support 1080, go and kiss bill gates’ dick
And that’s the only best resolution the I.E.D Betamax dubbed “Xbox One” can do while Wii U managed to hit 1080p along with PS4. Even the iPod touch can do 1080p.
Again, you lose.
betamaXBOX
But are all the visuals ACTUALLY rendered in 1080p? Because I’ve seen some games that only render the game at 720p, but icons and on-screen displays are 1080p, therefore the entire image is “technically” 1080p
90% of this comment section is a flame war. I think I’ll stay down here for a while…
Its not a full blown flame far. Its an army against one particular fool: Sasori.

This is exactly what he’ss trying to do, idiot. What he’s saying in this comment section is not about his personal interests in the game, but to make a flame war and piss people off.
This game could run at 480p and I still would play the crap out of mk
It runs on all types of resolution output from 480p to 1080p.
Exactly. MK is fun no matter what resolution it’s at. You know why? Because it’s FUN.
who cares about the res and frames, if it plays good then that is all that matters, sure those make the game look pretty and plays smooth but all that matters is the gamelay. you can make a game that runs the highest frames and highest res if that is your only focus then it would make the game a polished (pretty and smooth) turd. i say let the tournament begin once the game is released and see who is the better mario karter
Tbh I wouldnt mind a game running at 30fps as long if its stabled
As long as the framerate is good, fuck everything else. May 30th, get here quick!
… It’s not 1080p.
Nano one truely knows only Nintendo knows, let’s wait and see.
No*
We do know. There are several native-res 720p screenshots around the web. Comparing them to Wind Waker HD or Smash Bros. screenshots, the difference is clear.
Too bad it probably won’t get the attention it needs for the Wii U to survive.. Nintendo won’t advertise on TV. One of the other game companies had promotion at the NBA Playoffs.
CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP CONFUSINGBRESOLUTION TO GRAPHICS
REGARDLESS OF 720P OR 1080P THERE IS NO BETTER LOOOKING XBONE OR PS4 GAME FACT AND THE ARGUING BETWEET@N 720 AND 1080 ONLY SHOWS ITSVIRRELIVENT AS THE GAMES STUNNING TO LOOK AT
GREAT GRAPHICS IN HD ARE GREAT GRAPHICS IN HD TRYING TO CALL OUT RESOLUTIONS AS MARKERS OF GRAPHICS POWER IS IMATURITY AND IGNORENCE
XBONES 900P ISNT WEAKER ITS A RENDER FRAME SIZE THAT FITS INTO THE ESRAM THE GRAPHICS THEMSELVES COULD STILL BE OR NOT ON PAR OR BETTER THAN PS4 CAN SONYS FANS PLEASE STOP CALLING RES GRAPHICS
RESOLUTION IS THE NATIVE RENDERING ASPEC RATIO
GRAPHICS ARE TEXTURES-POLYGONS-SHADERS-EFFECTS-POST PROCESSING ETC ETC ETC
BY PUTTING MORE PROCESSING INTO GRAPHICS YOU GET MORE GRAPHICS BY PUTTING MORE PROCESSING INTO RES YOU GET MORE RES
LOL AT FANBOYING 1080P INSTEAD OF FANBOYING GAMES FRAMES AND GRAPHICS
BETTER GRAPHICS AND FRAMES ARE VASTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN RES AS LONG AS THE RES IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHOW OF THOSE GRAPHICS THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS FACT
THE FACT PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING TO TELL IF MK8 IS 720 OR 1080 ONLY STREGTHENS THIS POSTS CREDIBILITY
GROW THE FUCK UP
SHIN’IN WHEN DEVELOPING THERE WIIU GAME SAID THERE WAS NO DIFFERANCE BETWEEN 1080 AND 720 AS THE GRAPHICS WERE LOOKING THE SAME
ITS OVERAL VISUAL EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS NOT A ASPEC RATIO NUMBER HD PLUS SWEET GRAPHICS NOT WITCH HD IT IS
GROW THE FUCK UP
1080P WOULDNT MAGICALLY MAKE PS2 GAMES NEXT FEN GRAPHICS THEY WOULD SIMPLY BE PS2 GRAPHICS IN 1080P
GET IT RETARDS
Xbox fan here, I just want to say I love and have always loved Nintendo, and am happy to see how to this game is turning out. One this I dislike is how you guys are claiming how ‘Xbots’ were trashing the Wii U, which isn’t true at all. Most Xbox fans don’t go out of their way to downplay the competition, especially when it comes to performance. You’re thinking of Sony fanboys.
Also, at all of you claiming that the Wii U is more powerful than the other next-gen consoles because it runs MK8 at 1080p are wrong, sorry. If you were to get other next-gen titles and port the them to the Wii U, you wouldn’t get no where near the same level of performance, (i.e. KillZone, ISS, Forza, Ryse etc.) MK8 isn’t graphically demanding by any means.
Just played this at Gamestop. It looks fantastic and runs smoothly, but the demo was definitely not 1080p.
It is a demo after all. But your right it looks amazing.
Even technobuffalo says it.http://www.technobuffalo.com/reviews/mario-kart-8-review/
it is 1080p, but not native 1080p – it’s been upscaled from 720p.
You vs technobuffalo (whom I might add , knows tech a lot better then you and has the game). When you hit the Royal Raceway for the first time and you zoom past a grove of cherry blossoms raining petals on the track in 1080p at 60FPS, it looks amazing. It looks just as good with two players, though three-to-four seemed to cause a minor dip. Nothing that would make it unplayable, just a touch noticeable.
This is far and away the best looking Mario Kart game to-date, and Nintendo pulled that off with its typical sense of art design and style. Yes, it’s in 1080p at 60FPS, but it hits those marks with fidelity and vibrancy in color. Each course is bright and swathed in its own color scheme, and that makes each run through a familiar cup that much more enjoyable.
I don’t care what technobuffalo says, I can see the upscaling artifacts with my own two eyes and if they can’t, they have no business writing about it. All of the screengrabs out there show it, as do the recent youtube 1080 videos.
For the record, technobuffalo says nothing about whether the game is running in 1080p native or 1080p upscaled.
720p confirmed:

Euro gamer just contradicted it self.
Sorry, but please continue telling me how much less I know about game resolutions in comparison to techbuffalo.com?
Cuz to me it looks like you should be eating your hat right about now.
