The guys at Indie Developer Shin'en have discovered a nice breakthrough in developing the code to get Fast Racing Neo running at 60 FPS with all the highly detailed graphics they have been bragging about (but not showing anyone) for nearly the past year since they announced the game.
Here are the Tweets:

@justinitialhere Thanks :) We made a technical breakthrough in FRN this week that held us back for quite some time. We hope you'll like it!
- @MaxWill37699872 Finally getting all beautiful visuals in stable 60fps. Looked impossible when we started.

@ShinenGames @MaxWill37699872 congrats. You had to pull all registers on WiiU ? Can't wait to see some footage. Gimme gimme please.
- @KokStef Yes, even some registers we didn't even know they existed some months back :)
If you recall Shin'en promised 4-8k resolution textures, amazing graphics and 60 fps long ago when they first announced the game late last year. It seems even they have had a challenge trying to figure out the inner-workings of the Wii U Dev Kit, but have now finally broken through. This could also explain why we haven't seen anything yet on the game, I'm sure they would like to have a trailer that can really show the full range of effects and performance on what will surely be their crowning acheivment thus far as Indie developers.
Many people have speculated that the lack of news on Fast Racing Neo meant that Nintendo recruited them to make the next F-Zero game, but it still seems that FRN is on track for a very late 2014 or 2015 release date.
