Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is the Wii U less powerful than a seventh generation console?

Umm....this has me worried.

I got on ebay and bought LoZ: Wand of Gamelon, but it won't play in my Wii U. I was really excited to finally play it too. Is the Wii U not even more powerful than 4th gen....or did I get suckered into buying a faulty game?

On a roll as usual I see.



That last line got me good



                            

Did you try your PS3 instead then? How was the frame rate?

I wonder if the new zelda game will look like it does in the tech demo. The tech demo didn't use pre-rendered graphics. I still think that pikmin 3 will shut some people up but the new zelda game might just blow everyone away and the haters will just shut up about the wii u's graphics.

No, they won't.

Haters didn't shut up about the Wii's graphics after it delivered the beautiful Super Mario Galaxy. Wii U could spit out a game that looked like the Killzone Shadowfall demo and it wouldn't change the minds of those who've already committed themselves to belittling the system.

And I doubt Pikmin 3 will sway many people, we've seen it for a while now, and while it does look pretty, it's not really a game that screams "couldn't be done on PS360!"

The Wii U's low bandwidth and weak CPU prevent it from running CDi games, it's not powerful enough to handle them even at 240i and 12fps. ;)



Lol, i needed a good laugh this morning



At least the Wii U is attempting to run games from the seventh generation.
