I hope that third parties really enjoy working with Nintendo this gen. No business problems or technical problems. Lets just have a smooth ride this time around. No more drama like we had with the Wii. Which had Technical power problems, and business problems with the games not selling up to par.

Well if sony and microsoft decide to launch consoles a generation ahead of the ps3/360 then it's more than likely going to really affect nintendo.. considering WII u's increase in power is probably equivalant to the jump Wii made from ps2.. when comparing the jump between Wii u and ps3.

Clearly, the Wii U is a lot more powerful than that comparison.  The Wii is only about 50% more powerful than the GCN, (which was clearly 50% more powerful than the PS2) and the details shown so far would be around N64 to DC at minimum.

What details shown so far? An open world game that really pushes hardware this gen like Assassins Creed III doesn't run any better on Wii u than on ps3/360, if the WII u were SOO much more powerful than the ps3/360 don't you think there'd be at least a slight noticeable difference between the Wii u game and the ps3/360 game? Nothing, absolutely nothing has been shown by nintendo, or any 3rd party studio that even suggests a jump equivalent to PS2-Wii yet.. and you're already jumping at a jump almost on par to an entire console generation..

Hardly anything in the Wii's first year looked markedly better than what the PS2 had at the time. Also, no Wii game to my knowledge has topped what, technology-wise, has been achieved on GemeCube with the Rouge Squadron games. Sure Wii was more powerful in theory, but it never flaunted it. And I'm afraid the same is happening to Wii U at the moment, though the situation could change.

As for Assassins' Creed III, Ubisoft has basically said that they didn't have the luxury of time to make the Wii U version run better. You can choose to not believe them, but that's the official word.
