A Nintendo representative at E3 2012 has revealed that each of the company’s games on the show floor will ship with native 720p support. Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Pikmin 3 are included in this.

When asked if titles could be upscaled to 1080p, the same representative noted that the “native resolution is 720p for all titles showcased”.

In other news, Pikmin 3 will run at 60 frames per second on Wii U.

Thanks to James for the tip.

The Chase is On!

For the first time, the fan-favorite LEGO City vehicles and play sets come to life in LEGO® City: Undercover, exclusively for the new Wii U console. Players assume the identity of Chase McCain, an undercover detective armed with clever disguises. The mission is to put a stop to the fiendish Rex Fury and end his crime wave in LEGO City. As players run, drive and even fly through the city, they’ll use the Wii U GamePad controller as a new police gadget.

Head past the break for the full Q&A.

Unlike last year, n-Space is working on the handheld-side of the Skylanders franchise for Activision in 2012. However, the developer of last year’s 3DS title, Vicarious Visions, haven’t been thrown off of the IP.

An Activision representative has said that the studio is still involved with Skylanders. Based on the fact that Skylanders Giants has been confirmed for Wii U, it’d certainly make sense for Vicarious Visions to be making the version for Nintendo’s console.

Nothing has been confirmed though, and it’s possible that Vicarious has moved on to iOS content for Skylanders.

EAD Tokyo. Monolith Soft. Retro. These are just three first-party Nintendo studios that were absent from E3 this year.

Retro is particularly important, as they’ve worked on some of Nintendo’s most beloved franchises – Metroid and Donkey Kong. There was a lot of hope that the studio would be bringing a new Wii U game to E3 2012, but as we all know, that didn’t happen.

Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about the status of Retro in an interview with IGN, but the Nintendo of America president remained tight-lipped.

Fils-Aime said:

“… if I disclosed what Retro is doing, I would have the president of Retro literally calling me right now saying, ‘Reggie, what are you doing?’ We love that people are interested. We love surprising people. I remember getting the questions before we announced Donkey Kong Country Returns. And I loved unveiling that. So… Rest assured, the team is hard at work. But I’m not gonna tell you what they’re working on.”

And when asked if we’ll hear about Retro anytime soon, Fils-Aime said, “Um… Likely not.”

E3 2013, then? Please?
