WiiU - Lots of new Info - Same poor result. Why Nintendo Direct just confirms my fears.

Maybe, but is that true for all cases, and will developers make Wii U editions which integrate WiiU Gamepad features?

If it were easy to just tack on Wii U Gamepad features, then why isn't the Wii U seeing versions of Mass Effect Trilogy, Grand Theft Auto 5, Dragon Age III, and Dark Souls 2?

If devs have a thing out against Nintendo, they won't port their games to Nintendo, it's as simple as that. They might even make engines which are outside the WiiU's capabilities. The graphical difference between WiiU and NextBox/PS4 is still greater then the PS3/360 to Wii U difference, and were still not seeing most PS360 games get ported.

True, but it'd be bad business to neglect an extra few million dollars in revenue simply because a company has a grudge against another. CEOs shouldn't dabble in highschool drama.

The graphical improvements are going to be very minor from Wii U to PS4/720, its all still 1080p. At best, there will be more ram and processor speed. I've made a point elsewhere, that I wouldn't hold my breath to see a leap in graphic quality from PS3 to PS4 or 360 to 720. The bottleneck is now at the end user - we're still in a world where the highest resolution output in homes is 1080p. We won't see 2k or 4k technology affordable and commonplace for at least another generation AFTER the PS4/720/WiiU.  We're fairly maxed out on graphical improvements for another decade.

As for the gamepad, this is a good point, but not every game has to use it. Wii controls work in Wii U, from what I understand of it.  So it can be bypassed.

But CEO's are like Children. Do you remember why Nintendo never localized Project Rainfall Games? Reggie didn't care for them? You know why he didn't localize Disaster: Day of Crisis? He didn't like the game. Same goes for other devs, except for Ubisoft, most devs hold restraint against Nintendo. I don't know if we'll see a mainstream Rockstar product on WiiU (Like GTA V).

As for resolution, I dunno if most WiiU games will be native 1080p. Aren't a lot of current gen gens sub 720p and then upscaled? Isn't Halo 4 the first HD Halo? I hear just to run current gen games in 1080p requires a good amount more CPU. Who cares if TV's aren't 2k or 4k, lets get 1080p down pact first.
