See How Banjo Kazooie XBLA Improves N64 Graphics

I don't see any improvement.

Yeeeeaaaahhhh ice key. This makes me so happy. :D

Here we go with MS trying to stick the $15 price point for XBLA content down our throats. Just say no. This is not a new game, and there's no justification for it costing $15.

Okay so XBLA can do what any n64 emulator can do. The headline for this story is just weird to me I guess.

It's nice that it looks like it will be fullscreen widescreen (in the correct aspect ratio)... but these shots remind me how horrible the N64 graphics were. I remember when the system came out that Nintendo said they did focus group studies and noticed that people responded better to smoothed filtered textures than to high poly counts. I remember being slightly impressed with the first few games because after the PS1's blocky, squirmy textures.. the smooth N64 look was kind of refreshing. But the overall end result were these horribly low poly models with washed-out almost non-existent blurry textures. Very few games actually looked really good on this system exept games like Mario 64 which basically used smoothed primary colors with very basic and simple textures. Cartridges didn't really help either... except no loadtimes is kind of cool.
