And that the disc might be 50GB large! - Third-parties studios are currently receiving Wii U "Blu-ray" readers, writers, and discs - demos at E3 are to be on discs, as per Nintendo's requests - there was a delay in the shipping of this equipment, which had devs waiting a few weeks - they didn't came with the latest dev kits - the latest dev kits still have the disc drive separate - No confirmation nor denial of 50GB discs capacity - Wii U units at E3 2012 will include optical drives - Wii U games were developed on dev kits linked to a host pc (running the SDK, the development tools, etc.) - it's possible the access/loading times were emulated - Wii U dev kit sizes have stayed mostly the same during development - future dev kit versions may have the disc drive included in the hardware http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=177806 |
I'm never giong to believe this one.
