Mario Galaxy Guide To Make It Look Like An Early Xbox 360 Game
Blake Snow from Infendo has some tips on how to make Super Mario Galaxy look like an early Xbox 360 game.
- Buy an HDTV. Many households already have one of these in their home. I’m 99.9% sure Ben was playing Galaxy on one of these beauties. They range from $500-2000 for a 32″ model.
- Use component cables. Doing this will afford you the ability to enable Enhanced Definition video (480p) on your Wii. It’s not HD, but it’s far from being SD. I give Ben a 50/50 chance that he used one of these as they sadly DO NOT come standard with Wii.
- Sit at least 8 ft away from you TV. This is an important one. Sitting closer than 8 feet while playing Galaxy (depending on the size of your HDTV) will result in undesirous “jaggies” and graphics degradation. The Queen Bee’s furry abdomen looks convincing from five 1/3 cubits — not so much at four. I’m 99.9% sure that Ben didn’t follow this step in his review habitat. Big no-no.
EJ, I’m going to post this again… and ask for a response this time since you seem to be making this intensely personal. Why? A lot of us would like to know. Why has this become a personal vendetta for you? And also… did you read the article? Here’s a direct quote, " This post goes out to my boy Ben Fritz from Variety. He caught flack on Monday for panning Super Mario Galaxy in his review saying the game “looks old fashioned and lifeless” when compared to PS3 graphics. Aside from dismissing the fact that Nintendo has long since marginalized the importance of HD graphics, I don’t think Ben was following my guide to playing Super Mario Galaxy in a post-HD world:" Do you notice, the tips come from the creator of the article, not Ben? He’s sending the tips TO Ben. "…I don’t think Ben was following MY guide…" Ben didn’t send the tips, the article’s writer wrote them TO Ben. What do you think, EJ?

Fixed.
Nice fix, EJ. Honestly, it’s classy of you to do so. BTW, good post on the $79 Wii’s – I’ll be furiously trying to get my brother-in-law one for Christmas.
Yeah, sorry about that.

No worries at all, dude – honest misread. Happens to all of us. Honestly, I’m just jealous I don’t have an HD LCD screen yet myself! Would love to play Mass Effect on a 50"
Cool tips, when I get Galaxy, I’ll be sure to play from afar.

Intresting… Also I recommend 8 ft back also because of the fact the last thing wii need is the screen smashing apart because someone didn’t get a wii jacket.
i was sitting close to the tv while playing galaxy and it still looked beautiful
