Digital Foundry: Official Super Mario Galaxy on Nvidia Shield

The hardworking team over at Digital Foundry has provided some high quality footage of the critically acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy running on the Nvidia Shield platform. It’s an official port from Nintendo and is the first time it has officially been seen in HD as the game originally released on the SD Wii.

How might Wii games run on Switch? Well here’s a potential answer – with Nintendo’s support we have Super Mario Galaxy officially running on an Nvidia Shield TV – using the same Tegra X1 part as its hybrid console. This is thanks to a very accomplished emulator running behind the scenes, though there are plenty of pros and cons to this approach as Tom and Rich discuss.

Let’s hope they are right and that the Wii emulator will get to see some action on the Nintendo Switch because really performance wise this HD version of Super Mario Galaxy is wonderful to say the least.
