I'd also like to weigh in with what other reviewers are saying:

http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/need-for-speed-most-wanted-wii-u

"Criterion's also used the extra time to make the Wii U the best-looking console version, complete with textures from the PC release and a few tweaks to the way night and day look in game."


http://www.gamingnexus.com/Article/Need-for-Speed-Most-Wanted-U/Item3926.aspx

"Even more impressive, in my time with the game I never encountered a single framerate hiccup or annoying loading screen—the whole experience was smooth as silk. Considering the Wii U has been plagued with some pretty awful lag, draw distance and framerate issues in almost every port so far, I have to wonder what magic sauce Criterion is using to make such a fast, audaciously gorgeous game run so smoothly on Wii U…or rather, what everyone else is doing wrong."

They are the only other reviews which mention graphics up so far, and both of them seem to be saying that it looks better on the Wii U than the other versions.

So I wonder, what is the other reviewer seeing?



the gamingnexus review only mentions smooth framerate, it doesn't mention it as the best looking version, anyway the DF will do a face off and thats the only real answer.

Agreed, I just thought that if it was a big issue then all reviewers would be pointing it out.

We shall see just who was in the right, though EA lying? That's never happened before!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Shocking - this is supposed to be the definitive console version as per Criterion themselves. Will wait for more results.

Cue the excuses.

-EA hates Nintendo
-Shitty port
-Wii U has untapped potential
-Game sucks anyway
-I'd rather buy Mario Kart

Phew, looks like I didn't have to write that myself!

" The game looks and plays better than the previous home console versions, standing shoulder to shoulder with the PC version in terms of graphics, and the added Wii features just sweeten the pot."

Wat?  This quote is from the gaming nexus thing, did you just agree to not seeing this quote? :O

Since this game uses PC's textures and effects, this is pretty much impossible unless the PC version was worse than PS360's.


well the pc version of hot pursuit had some bad glitches compared to ps3 for me

It could be true or it's just a site trying to get a few extra hits. My cousin has the 360 version of NFSMW, so I'm going to compare it to the Wii U version once I get it.
