THQ has Darksiders II running on Wii U

[Joelcool7]

For those of you talking about power Nintendo is still working on the console via IBM etc...etc... Nintendo hasn't given developers final kits. Its like with Wii up untill E3 2006 developers were still using modified GameCube kits. Nintendo gave out early kits and likely the final kits will come for next E3. Maybe a tad earlier but Nintendo themselves probably don't even have nearly finished kits as IBM and such are still working on the hardware.

I think Nintendo held back on showing software ported to WiiU at the moment simply because the hardware is incomplete and the software might look better once the hardware is their. So Nintendo might expect DarkSiders to recieve a visual upgrade. Alot of the games shown running on PS3 will probably look better on WiiU. I think Nintendo wants to hide the true graphical power of WiiU until E3 2012.

A major reason Nintendo might be hiding the WiiU's power is its competitors. Microsoft and Sony are hard at work on their next platforms. Nintendo knows that as soon as their hardware gets unvieled Sony and MS will best it. So why give Microsoft and Sony a true indication of the platforms power over a year early?

It is in Nintendo's best interest to hide the graphical power of the console as long as possible. Hopefully Sony and Microsoft's next consoles will not blow WiiU out of the water too bad if they are released in 2013 as many are suggesting!
