Sumo: Wii U graphics on-par with PlayStation 3, "maybe even better"
Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed dev details Wii U exclusive characters.
British developer Sumo Digital has found the Wii U's graphical capability to be "on-par" with current generation consoles - "or maybe even better".
The Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed developer divulged the information to Eurogamer as we tested out the upcoming racer's Wii U version.
The 3DS and Wii U versions will exclusively support Mii characters, Sumo also confirmed.
The racer allows you to pilot both aircraft and boat forms of your vehicle - necessary for each course's airborne and aquatic sections. It's similar to Nintendo's own racer Mario Kart 7 in this regard, although Sega said that their project was started first.
The Wii U version allows players to use the GamePad screen for Remote Play, or alternatively as a second display offering a rear view.
You can even use the GamePad screen as a weapon-cam, allowing you to guide homing rockets around the course. But this feature can also demonstrate the perils of glancing from screen-to-screen: Eurogamer saw one racer look down to fire his rocket, stop racing, and manage to shoot himself instead.
