Before the Nintendo 64 came out, I had a question lingering in my mind. "What would Mario look like in 3D?". Not the 3D we are all familiar with today, but the 3D image of Mario, as opposed to the 2D version I had come to love. My question was answered with a bang, when "Mario 64" was released with the launch of the N64. It was absolutely brilliant. I couldn't get over what was on the screen as I ran through this new, but, familiar world. This time, everything popped. The Sound effects were cleaner, the graphics were beyond me, and the adventure was still just as gripping as before.
Today I am faced with a similar question. "What will Super Mario look like in High Definition?". With the approach of the Nintendo WiiU I can't help but wonder what things will look like on the first High Definition Nintendo. Will Mario still remain cartoon like? Or will he become a little more realistic? My thoughts are that Mario's form will remain the same, but polished, and cleaner. Less pixelated, more crisp and clear. I feel that Nintendo will create a much deeper, and more beautiful world for us to explore than we could have imagined. Will there be detail in his iconic blue over-alls? Will the world around Mario contain actual blades of grass, individual leaf's, and reflective water? Will Bowser become an extremely detailed, and more scary super-villain? All of these questions run through my head. I'm hoping that I've triggered your brain to create pictures in your mind of what you think Mario will look like in HD. Chew on that one for a while. You know what I think, now I want to know what you think!
-Until Next time, keep on gamin' on!
