For the sanity of some Project CARs on WiiU had better blow the visuals of Forza 4 and GT6 out the water. Show us that "hidden power", put this to rest.

It will depend on whether the Wii U version is being ported from the aborted PS3/360 code, or the PS4/Xbone/PC code.

If it can top the awesome looking Need for Speed Most Wanted U, I'll be pleased.

A few things, my "2 cents" if you will:

- This came out soon after the Digital Foundry article, and Digital Foundry is known for relentlessly bashing Nintendo and the Wii U since it gets them attention. I can't prove anything, but it seems a bit suspicious that this comes out right after, and pretty much seconds what DF said with more detail.

- I'm a licensed Nintendo Developer and have access to all the specs of the Wii U as well as a dev kit and other things. Some of this stuff doesn't sound true. Even the GPU stuff seems inflated as if though someone skewed the article to make it seem like they weren't bashing it by speaking well of the GPU. I can't attest to the development of any of the 3rd-party games and how good support was, nor can I go revealing any details on specs as I signed an NDA, but I can most certainly say that I'm taking this with a grain of salt. It could be true, it could be partially true, it could be totally false. My bets would go on the 2nd one.

Overall I just find it sort of fishy and suspicious. Indeed, an anonymous developer and only one developer at that, that's hardly a reliable source where I can start jumping to conclusions.

Ultimately though, as a gamer the most important thing to me is that the games are "good", i.e. enjoyable; as a developer, the most important thing to me is documentation and easy access to support, both of which Nintendo have done a great job with. Perhaps things have changed since then or the circumstances or other details were different, I can't be sure, but I am sure that it's never safe to take anything like this to be totally true, whether it's positive or negative.

tl;dr

Don't overreact, that's exactly what whoever made the article wants you to do. =)

I wish Frequency was still here to let us know how true this is :(.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo did something to her (him?) because she (he?) hates Nintendo with a burning passion.

"She" may hate Nintendo cause of their terrible dev tools  (She's working on a Wii U title currently).  If this is indeed true.

I think I'm confusing that user with another one who (apparently) works in FromSoftware. She/he always posted while drunk.

We have more than 5 developers here?  O_O

Can't remember the user's name, but I remember she/he always complaining about Nintendo all the time, calling them the worst devs/publishers of all the time. She/he got permabanned after that.

I also remember she showing proof that she indeed worked at From Software. 

It's not like it runs poorly.  It's not like it was a mess and gave devs headaches trying to fix.  Infact it's easy as hell to port 7th gen games to Wii U.  The "alleged" comments are just that.  We know nothing about the purported situation regarding dev size or scope of the project.

pertaining to your offtopic: to me, anti-consumer would be having to give up my touchscreen feature, lagless portability around the house, free online, a workable internet browser, and i'll stop there to not become tiresome and petty about all that Nintendo bring to hardware that others don't.
