Mario’s Creator is Embarrassed by How Super Mario Bros. Looks In HD [Nintendo]

I’m sure you’ll agree that half the charm of playing Super Mario Bros . nowadays is that it’s so different to realistic games like Fallout 3. To its creator, Shigeru Miyamoto however, it’s just plain ol’ embarrassing.

Even though the Wii doesn’t output at full-HD, Miyamoto feels that the resolution of the original Mario game doesn’t quite hold up to today’s standards. He told Earthbound’s designer Shigesato Itoi that ” Once I see this [Super Mario Bros.] so clearly, it’s a little bit embarrassing…Back then, with tube televisions, it was a bit blurrier and the pictures weren’t quite so sharp. The places where we tried to fudge it a little really stand out!”

Doesn’t his concern just make you like him even more? If Super Mario Bros. was made today, he would smooth out among the mistakes kept within the game, he said, though he does admit that ” those rough places are a component of the game and even well-received.” Damn right they’re, Shigsy!
