Official HD Textures pack?

There most likely will never be HD textures cause SE never created any. They designed the game using the current textures that you see, So they would have to make HD textures from scratch.

I mean no, if you think that the resolution the textures are in on the screen are the resolutions that the textures were created in you're mistaken. Textures are usually created at insanely high resolutions and then just compressed to fit whatever space limitations they have. Somewhere, on some system, they have the uncompressed textures and they are much much higher res than what we have.

I believe that Yoshi-P himself explicitly stated in an interview they actually didn't have "high-res" textures and that what they had in the game was indeed the highest resolution they made.
