Wii U specs and performance matter, and Nintendo knows this

"it's clear that the company is taking HD seriously this time around."

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.

There's a difference between native rendered resolution and capable output. Which are we driving at here?

Similarly with the Toki Tori comment, we don't know if Two Tribes just meant 1080 output or 1080 rendering.

Either way though, Nintendo isn't even outputting at 1080p. Isn't that an issue in and of its own if Nintendo is truly serious about HD (and its highest form in the common realm 1080p)?

I just want to point out though that I don't expect 1080p native to be standard next gen, but that with games like 2d platformers and Pikmin 3 (previously a Wii game etc) it should be, especially for a company like Nintendo.....and it will be the standard whether they like it or not, if TT2 is any indication - Two Tribes, the devs, were until recently a god damn phone developer! Based out of the Netherlands! They MADE N-GAGE GAMES!
