Whats with Nintendo and making really detailed Mario characters?

Heres another

I wouldn't say "really detailed" but refined for sure, everything about Waluigi makes him look shady and slimy
Nintendo does a great job of making a character's role recognizable from a glance

You're talking about the nose, aren't you?

He might mean the textures. Just take a good look at the gloves and waluigi's nose

>the chin
>the eye bags
>the mustache
>the evil grin
No, it's not just the nose, Adolph.

Nintendo polish is probably the best polish in all of video games. They take that extra time to really hit home things like this where other devs may spend it elsewhere

I feel sorry for the poor bastards who had to rig, model, texture and animate that model

Waaaaaah....

It's funny that they make detailed artwork of mario characters but give them little character building in game

Not every game needs to be a character-driven cinematic masterpiece, especially not a platforming game.

Who knew the Mario Bros gloves were made out of burlap?

>character building
>in a platforming game
>in a series that mainly revolves around saving the princess

Damn that looks good

Look more like wooly winter gloves

It's easy to make really high detail models and then scale them down in order to future-proof the designs. Nintendo focuses on making all their characters look like the plastic amiibo figures

they did that before amiibos, though

Why does Waluigi always have eye bags? What keeps him awake at night?

Honestly despite what Luigi fanboys say Mario has more to him than the average gaming mascot. His excitable Italian manchild thing stands out among Nintendo's big names.

It's a Jewish trait, like his hooked nose.

I like how he gets really competitve in sports games. And how he's just always pissed in Smash.

Hooked noses are also an Italian trait hence why they are called Roman noses.

>Mario has more to him than the average gaming mascot
Not really.

Every hair strand gives them 1 more cent to their salary

You can see his pores.

Just in his nose. Skin is a smooth as plastic.

It just looks that way because of the lighting. If you up the contrast you can see the pores much clearer.

>Mfw

>Those gloves

I hate how when devs first realize they can use textures on models without it looking awful, the first thing they do is make the texture far too large just to make sure you fucking notice it. It looks awful.

For a small while they had giant goofy glove fabric and too-detailed quills on Sonic renders.

Well shit, that's neat.
