seriously those games they showed sure won't be as good as real Wii U games, to me they looked like PS3/360 ports

Those were PS360 ports, except for Tekken. Money says that except for Tekken they were all running on either PS3, 360, or PC hardware too, which would explain why Tekken looked much worse than the others shown


Yeah, Reggie confirmed the games were all PS3/360/PC versions in his GTTV interview. He also said the Wii U will look the same or better.

I don't know about them, but Nintendo already won me over.

That Zelda tech demo looked amazing.

Haha, I don't think so Maxwell

Don't go locking threads just because they're not pro Nintendo ok? I already cleared this with a mod, it was not flambait at all, Nintendo specifically said 'We will win back the core' and now I'm asking how.

The online thing IS obvious, MS and Sony are 1 gen ahead of them, self explanatory :-S


This is pure gold

OT:
With what they've shown so far... It's not looking like they can.

We'll see... this feels like a deja vu.... a lot of people claiming nintendo will fail... just look at the wii, #1 home console this gen n i doubt is going to change.

Still more than a year for the launch let's wait....


I agree 100%

This year they only showed what the controller was about.

They never zoomed in once on the box.

Keep your panties on.

Their controller has a screen on it.

YOU NAILED IT!



Above: still the best game of the year.

What are your expectations for the graphic abilities of the PS4, Xbox 720? There is only so advance you can go without making it too expensive. I doubt the difference between WiiU and PS720 is going to be any larger than say, the difference between Crysis 2 on PC and Crysis 2 on the PS360. You have absolutely no basis of how powerful the WiiU actually is, and only have a reference from multiplatforms developed for consoles from the previous generation. We just don't have enough information. As for what makes it distinctive? Well the game library will be quite distinctive for starters. Nintendo first party games can only be found on the system. That alone can sell many systems. The tablet controller also adds to the uniqueness of the system. Third party games will be found on all three, since there isn't going to be a distinctive enough difference in technical power. So what makes somebody decide? Well which first party games do I like? What is the price? What extra features will I enjoy? I'm seriously doubting the belief that there will be a "generation" or wii-ps360 gap between the WiiU and the next consoles from the other two companies. It just isn't practical for there to be.



Dunno. I think Nintendo is dooming themselves more than ever with this Wii U + "3D3D3D3D3D3D3D3D is future! Buy it for 3D!" 3DS combo. I will still buy it.

You lost your bet.

If MS keeps hurting 'core' titles by shoehorning Kinect into them then half their work will be done for them.

Who in their right mind would choose Singalong Mass Effect 3 or Mass Effect 3-3D when they could have better graphics with customisable hotkeys whilst playing on the couch or even in bed.
