Wii U is just too weak compaired to the Xbox One & PS4.
Theres no way around that truth, then add ontop of that its crazy hard to develop games for and... yeah.

It isnt getting as many 3rd party games.

I hope nintendos next system is either ARM or x86, not some IMB Powerpc type weird cpu.
I also hope they go with a APU from AMD, and work abit on ease of development for the system.

Indeed, the sad fact is games like The Witcher 3 already show that devs have to make serious concesions on consoles. If the PS4 and X1 are already considered weak in some circles where does that leave the Wii U? I just hope Nintendos engineers are paying attention.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Soo... All the people who backed it for PS3/360 got screwed but since they likely own an Xbone/PS4 now they have it a bit better off. But WiiU owners are royally screwer :/

Given how often "Its also on PC" is thrown about there shouldn't be any problems.

Unfortunately, after looking at articles over the past year or so and now the final version on PS4/XOne, this isn't a huge surprise. Sucks for the people who backed it for the U but hopefully they'll get refunded/provided with an alternate code so no great loss there.

They seem pretty confident that NX will be seen at E3...glad they can be so confident because I don't see it happening at all.

It's not that they belive that NX will be shown, is that they hope NX will be shown so they can do what they did with the PS360 versions and cancel the WiiU version for a NX one.

Which, in my opinion, would be another bad move that only would grant them even more bad press.

Suppose so. But surely dev work won't have started on an NX version yet and it won't be coming for a good couple years yet, which makes the argument and reasoning kinda moot. 

To be honest at this point it's probably best to abandon hope of seeing the game on Nintendo systems, unless there's some sort of miracle.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Well, these guys are on my blacklist. Used the Nintendo fan base and sites as tools to build hype (cause sure as crap they had no shot in the shadow of Drive Club, Forza, the inevitable GT, or even The Crew at the time) and then threw them aside like trash as soon as they got in bed with the big money at Bamco. I don't care about the game; not a racing Sim fan. But their conduct has been inexcusably unprofessional.

So, from what I've heard about this game is that they promised it to Wii U and PC owners first. They kept on ranting and raving about how they will show EVERYONE how great the Wii U is, getting the majority of their backers from this and now it wont happen? Yea...

Hardly surprising. 23 FPS isn't bad though, maybe they should lower the graphics a bit more.

Honestly doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. The PPI still remains the same so why not. Also lots of games last gen were below 720P so I don't see why they can't lower the resolution more and then have an upscaler , scale it up to 720P ( Will not look as good but better than nothing )

It looks like they finally started on the Wii U version, drank some coffee and just quit.

The next hardware announcement is a straw man argument. Worst of all they are throwing the hot potato in Nintendo's hands.

The hardware just isnt strong enough. We've already seen how this game runs on the new HD twins when stressed and the Wii U simply wouldnt stand a chance even at 720p. Like I said, the game was rumuroed to be 720p30 years ago. Given how the PS4 version runs at almost hallf the target framerate when taxed where would that leave the Wii U? Unless they stripped out weather entirely or cut the car count in half it was never going to work.

What a bunch of Freaking liars, I swear God I´m never going to buy anything from this people.

Not only they forgot about the comunity that was supporting them the most, no, now they are leaving the WiiU on ridiculous, and they are talking about the NX like if is coming tomorrow, they even say that they expect it for this E3!

What a bunch of assholes, they are not just leaving the WiiU with no game but with a potential ton of shitty press, false NX rumours and haters food for weeks .... They are only doing damage!! 

GTFO Slighty Mad and never come back, I hope nobody buy your games on a Nintendo console EVER.

Likely true. HD to weak or they simply to unskilled (see other consoles issues).

But that's not the point. They promised to deliver a version on Wii U and they flatly lied. They clearly never looked at a Wii U version in any serious way. So from the beginning they just lied and kept lying. Didn't have the courage or conviction to admit the obivious for all that time.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
