They've had significantly less time on WiiU dev kits than on PS360... of course it would be not perfect yet. They state their limitations are not hardware but simply put, time. Considering the game has no launch date on WiiU yet, they still have time to continue working on it. Finally, we have no idea on what the actual differences are. Maybe PS360 is at 720p30fps and maybe their trying to push WiiU to 1080p60fps. That all takes more time and they simply haven't had enough yet to put it to its fullest.

Anyone worried about this or any game on WiiU clearly has no clue.

No clue in what respect? The clue is right there in front of us. The only other clues we have are from lilbro who keeps on saying "1080p60fps" with no source.

Every new console has to deal with old gen ports and those at times are not much or any different than the older consoles. Same happened on 360. Same happened on PS3 with looking FAR worse than 360. Its simply a matter of time with the console and engine tuning.

Typically you can get a sense of what it can really do from first party games, however, Nintendo doesn't build super realistic games. Maybe with Zelda or Metroid at some point, but not yet. So 3rd parties have only a very short time with the hardware so these first run games will be "on par" or slightly better than PS360. By next holiday that will be significantly different. Especially as the new engines are coming out and being used on not only WiiU but also the rest of next-gen.

Now, I admit I could be 100% wrong here and Nitnendo could be repeating a Wii where its a marginal upgrade from this gen and gets blown away by the rest of next gen. That could happen, but at this point I still don't think it will.
