well, it's not as bad as having actors pretending to play a game.

LOL. Now this is ok with Nintendo people. Imagine PS3/360 showing PC's graphics and footage and claim the game to be on their console. Why could not they show the list of games? This is totally unacceptable.


My thoughts exactly.  They'll try to defend this, but let's see if Sony or MS ever tried to pass of WiiU gameplay as PS3 or 360 gameplay.  They'd either be outraged or laughing their asses off.  But Nintendo did it, so it's a ok.

This stuff happens all the time. When FF XIII got announced for Xbox 360, the footage they showed was from the PS3 version. They could have just announced it since development hadn't begun on their version yet, but that wouldn't have been nearly as fun. When advertisements for games come on your TV, they show one version. They don't show you every version and label it as such. It's really not a big deal.

Wait, people actually thought those games were running on the Wii U? I guess a lot of people don't use their brain anymore.

Oh, and lol at the people that complained about the graphics in those trailers.

damn! and I thought reggie's troll on the pokemon announcement was bad.

They should have waited until next year to unveil it and focus more on 3DS, DS and Wii this year.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Not very surprising because as stated above the console doesn't come out for a while still.

This is far, far more common than you guys think.

I'd say easily 33% of all early screen shots you guys see are not from the console you think it's from. For PS3,X360 and PC I mean.

Well, it's better to show something real, even if it's running on your hardware than show something that won't happen. Does anybody remember "Sadness"?
