New Super Mario Bros. U officially won’t run in 1080p

Recently, there was a lot of confusion as to whether or not New Super Mario Bros. U would run in 1080p. The game’s official site initially said that it would. Nintendo soon quietly updated the page, hinting that it wouldn’t.

Now we have the official word on the situation. Nintendo has opened Mario Bros. U’s full site, and it includes a statement noting that the original comment was inaccurate.

“The previously stated information about video output for this game was inaccurate. The Wii U console supports video output of up to 1080p. While all Wii U software titles display high definition graphics, resolution for specific titles may vary.”
