None of the current Wii U games were developed on final hardware. Anyone remember what the launch 360 games looked like? I do.


People always forget this.

They compare pe-launch Wii U games to games made 6/7 years into the PS3 and 360's lifespans, which isn't a fair comparison at all.

If anything comparing a new console to something that is 6-7 years old and will soon be last gen is what doesn't seem fair.  Imagine if someone compared PS3 launch titles to the first Xbox, people woud cry foul.

Nintendo get a magic free pass for some reason?

They don't get a magic anything. They're not going the graphics-intensive route, and I'm fine with that. The Wii didn't go that way either but it delivered more than the graphially superior PS3/360 for me. Gameplay is what matters most.

All I'm saying is that an unfinished launch title is obviously not going to show as much of a system's power as a similar game made 6-7 years after a console's launch.
