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 "When I see this [Super Mario Bros.] so clearly, it's a little embarrassing back then, with tube televisions, it was a little blurrier and the images weren't quite so sharp. The places where we tried to fudge it a bit really stand out!"
Doesn't his concern just make you love him even more? If Super Mario Bros. was made today, he would smooth out some of the mistakes kept in the game, he said, though he does admit that "those rough places are a part of the game and even well-received." Damn right they are, Shigsy!

Just like you said if they smoothed it up a bit I would be very receptive to it.
embarrased? oh well
haha awesome
Probably the most influential graphic in any game. Anything from those games is instantly recognizable.
I think games should be a bit more blurry around the edges. I dont like the crispness the 1080p games sport
Part of the SMB charm was playing it in a tube television.
this is the reason i stopped playing mario games.
haha, i read that too.
What the? How can someone be ashamed of something done with the technology of 25 years ago? is He crazy? It's like saying "You know...I'm embarrased because 23 years ago I crapped my diapers..." I think that's stupid...
no reason to be embarrassed :] awesome game is awesome.
ahah. amazing. a what, twenty year old game doesn't look amazing!
HAHA NICE !!!!
Nothing to be embarrassed about, this game is amazing. Still difficult after all these years too.
It's not really fair to compare it to games made nowadays. Technology has changed.
You can't really compare Aircraft Carriers to hollowed out trees and say the people who made those older boats should be embarrassed.
this is relevant to just what I was thinking about
That pic is the HD version?
Really? Hmm I like it but then again can't expect these games to have HD quality.
Cant beat the classic
HAHAHAHA, fail ! :D
I like your post and I would really like to see more of them
IDk why he's worried about a 20 year video game. LOL
I like it as it is. It was never supposed to be realistic, so why be embarrassed?
cool :)
even my father likes playing the old super mario... nothing to be embarrassed about :)
Miyamoto is so cool, all his games were so much a part of my childhood.
cool bro!
Who cares, I still find it an awesome game!
Mario in hd would be great but not in 3d 3d mario games are crap
why is he embarrassed? they didn't have HD back then why is it a big deal what it looks like now
Wuts wrong with that dude :S He have created greatest game ever and is embarrased. :S
lol
toiad is flippin on us since this was made

haha, wtf is this :)
I always loved the pixelated art style of smb1. idk what he's talking about. lol.

mario should always be pixels!
SMB is one of the greatest games ever created. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Giving love.

Looking at these old games is like looking at old cars. Yeah, it doesn't have the tech, but it's still awesome!
Awesome post!
Sorry mario, the princess is in another castle
Its impossible to look at these games and feel anything but love
I still love this game... I haven't played on my LED TV yet though
one of the best games ever
no the game is still awesome even to this day.
still an aweseome game
That's his own fault. He should be.
no way mario could be made today
Awesome!
embarassed haha
Best game ever, what improvements could possibly be made? None!! NONE!
I think the creators made very good use of the hardware avaiable to them at the time.
No matter how it looks, those first games were AWESOME
jeez.. that game was made back when i was five. what do you expect? im surprised i even had video games back then.
Love this game! Who cares about looks?
the guy knew about antialiasing before everybody else
It's 8bit it's not supposed to look awesome in HD
haha hes a perfectionist alright
Best classic game ever. I still play it now sometimes lol
LOL Whats he worried about? I wouldnt complain about anything with his kind of money lol.
