I think most people have forgotten how good most of these SD games look when running and viewed directly on a high quality SD CRTV because of how totally and utterly sh*t most SD video footage running on your computer looks by comparison. The irony here is that the 'HD' footage is MUCH closer to how this game looks running on my SD CRTV than the 'SD' footage is. From this list though, I'd have to choose Wii Sports Resort. If anything, I'd say Twilight Princess would benefit from a similar treatment Wind Waker got. It would certainly look a lot cleaner, but would it fit with the character models and environments and what not? I think it wouldn't be as smooth-looking though. Now think about how MK Wii would look in HD. Just look at how gorgeous MK 8 is turning out to be, and it was made specifically with HD in mind. We should just be thankful that we're getting class A titles from Nintendo in HD at this point in time and I cannot wait to see what the next Zelda, 3D Mario (in style of 64 - Galaxy) and the rest of the line-up we have in store, look once they come out.

As good as it looks in HD, I personally don't feel it necessary at all to upgrade, since I can imagine the developers had SD in mind when creating these games, and that would kind of defeat a bit of the purpose imo., and go against the base philosphy behind creating the visuals as they have become. I dunno, there's a certain charm about those SD games on the Wii. Got that? Good.įeast your eyes and then vote in the poll below - which game would you like us to focus on next time? It's worth pointing out that this footage is a hypothetical demonstration designed to illustrate what the game might look like running in HD, and is not (we repeat, NOT) a trailer for an official Nintendo product, nor is it affiliated or endorsed by Nintendo in any way. We've picked a solid favourite in the form of Super Mario Galaxy, one of the console's most celebrated releases. With that thought in mind, we present the first in what we intend to be a long line of comparison videos which show what certain Wii titles look like in both SD and HD - just so you can see what your eyeballs have been missing all these years. This got us thinking - what would some of the Wii's best games look like when rendered at a higher resolution? While many other console owners made the leap into HD with the launch of the Xbox 360 and PS3 many years ago, Nintendo fans had to wait a little longer - lest we forget, the entire Wii era was spent in Standard Definition.
