Wii U

Not much has been said about the Wii U version of Project Cards, but it sounds like it’ll be a fairly competent version.

Developer Slightly Mad Studios is looking to achieve a resolution of 720p while maintaining 30 FPS. While some may have hoped for a higher resolution or FPS count, the company is assuring that the game will “look and feel amazing”.

Creative director Andy Tudor, in an interview with NowGamer, said:

“We always prefer to aim for 30fps generally in order to keep gameplay-specific features like having more cars on track or better weather effects etc. So that’s standard across all consoles, and we’re more likely to utilize the native 720p support of the Wii U for launch especially since our physics and rendering systems demand a lot of processing power in order to deliver a truly next-gen experience. All you need to know is that when you get the game, it’ll look and feel amazing and you’ll want to show it off to your friends.”
