funny, thats not what people were saying all year! "just wait till e3, you'll see" now its "wait one or two years?" naw, im not waiting, someone will call me when something really cool is shown. 

I personally never said that, but I see where you're coming from, most fans will deny some of the most obvious facts. Also the only game I was expecting to look better than current gen games was Pikmin 3 but alas it doesn't, it looks good but there are better looking games right now

i never said you said it. and kudos to being one of the few with common sense. The ones who were talking crazy have probably dissapeared and are crying in the corner somewhere.  I probably get the damn thing, but not at launch. I usually dont buy systems at launch since they generally suck. Ninty or otherwise

But my anonymous source told me it's on par with the PS2.

Mine said it would be lesser spec than that of the NES. Seems legit.

Well, people have been saying it is the new NES afterall.

well after this E3 I didn't see anything that suggest the wii U is much more powerful then the ps360, not even the zelda game that they showed last year or a tech demo to show the power, is it possible that adding that second game pad taxed the wii U more then we realize??

It wouldn't be that. Adding the second gamepad slows framerate only, and even then we're not sure if that just means framerate on the pad or framerate altogether, since its speculated to be a bandwidth problem.

It is odd that nothing so far looks to match the tech demos they showed last year, doubly odd because Nintendo tech demos are not known for overselling the hardware.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Pikmin 3 looks really good.

Wii seems to cost 300 bucks as rumors say, this hardware is compatible with this price.

Pikmin 3 looks really good.

But it doesn't look as good as the Zelda demo

It looks on-par with the best looking PS360 games, at most.

There is no blood in the picture, it is also too colorful to look "good".

Well, Zelda and Pikmin do have a different style of Graphics. And if you say Pikmin 3 looks as good as the best PS3/360 game, that's a great achievement for a launch window title.

Umm... that's the worst statement I have ever heard about graphics... I'm sorry. 

But, that comparison is quite nice.
