Has anyone noticed that all the screen shots of Skyward Sword are at 720p high def? It is a bit of a tease for me considering how good the screens look at that resolution. The game still looks great in 480p but I think Nintendo should not post pics of this game at a resolution we will never see on the Wii. I checked the screen shots for the other Wii games Nintendo showed off at e3 and they are all at the usual 480p

Maybe they could come out with an HDMI cable and an update to make it work... I don't know if thats possible though.

NO the Wii is pretty much locked into 480p. The screens are probably pre-rebderedto make them look nicer. It just makes me want an HD Wii, between these screens and screen shots from Wii emulators on PC. BTW at just re bought a Wii after selling it in back 2008 because of this game so I'm still getting used to looking at pixelated 480p again.

The screen shots are not of 720p video but of 480p using a 720p source to take the image. The game is still 480p.

We call these bullshots. Dont take any offense by it. It's just for presentation and promotional purposes!

THe game will look and run smoothly so don't worry about it. This is why Nintendo decided to use the cell shade art style. Smooth to begin with, smooth while running.

well the demo also looked awesome... on the screens that had it running smoothly (seriously, WTF? some were astonishing, while some had a lower frame rate)
