The water, grass and textures are vastly superior, but the overall aesthetics are quite similar. Mario 3D World has clearly better visuals, but Galaxy holds up very, very well, especially considering it’s on something not a whole lot more powerful than Gamecube. We’ve reached a point in gaming where compressed video of game content is always going to look inferior to the live product.

There is just something about seeing a game live and in person where it is a night and day difference. Every Wii U kiosk I’ve played has had terrible monitors and or settings On a side-note, Nintendo really needs to invest in better monitors for their kiosks. Then when I downloaded the demo for home on my Wii U, the game looked gorgeous. It looked mediocre at best on the monitor. When I was in a GameStop recently I was playing Sonic: Lost World to try it out. However watching a recorded match later on the resolution looked as bad as it does watching a Youtube video. No matter what next-gen game you see from any system be it Wii U, XBOX One, or PS4, Youtube videos don’t even come close to showing what it looks like in person.Įven today as I was playing Killer Instinct on XBOX One. Any PS3 or 360 game “****OF IT’S KIND***(and I have to make that distinction because people will try to bring up Gears Of War or God Of War or something an compare Galaxy’s graphics to that) cannot touch Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. All you need to do is play Super Mario Galaxy upscaled to 1080p and running at 60fps on the Dolphin EMU to see what I mean.

It doesn’t need to be because Super Mario Galaxy was ahead of the graphical curve even being a Wii game.
