Wii U specs and performance matter, and Nintendo knows this

Are they? I mean, you have a 2d platformer and a game originally planned for Wii and they don't even output 1080p?
I see people defending this as, well....you know..it's hard, cut 'em some slack! Or, hey, casuals don't care about the difference in resolution! Well that's not taking HD seriously enough for me.

I was going to be impressed that you read through the whole thing, but then I realized you copies and paste the first sentence. Sort of.

They are bringing over a hell of a lot of ports from the HD consoles and jazzing them up a bit. Zombie U looks nice, and there are a lot of other games coming out that are looking pretty Niiice as well. I think for Nintendo they are taking it seriously, but the other guys are still sort of in a league of their own when it comes to dealing with Power.

i think you missed his point.  the toki tori dev said "wii U can output 1080p withtout breaking a sweat".  NSWB wii U isn't technically any more complex and really should be able to do 1080p easily.  so why isn't it?
