When did Nintendo start using bullshots?

Years ago.

Advertising shots of Skyward Sword were 720p, and that wasn't the first time either.

In-agame has AA up the ass.

Yeah, Nintendo were promising vertical resolutions.

Strangely, the in-game shot looks better than OP's pic.

>>377591818
Maybe it's because OP's shot has shit resolution

You're absolutely right, the concept of cropping did not exist until late 2011.

IIRC for all the Splatoon trailers showing third person gameplay at different angles (at least with the first game), they used CGI/pre-rendered footage.

You could always tell there was something off about the models.
>>377591181 shows an in-game cutscene so there's nothing that screams bullshot/pre-rendered. Though like the first game, it has lots of AA.
