We will see if it makes a big difference. All we know is that the iconic Nintendo franchises alone weren't enough to save the N64 and Gamecube. I also doubt people will care for watered down ports of games like Watch Dogs. Everyone and their grandmother is excited about that game, but keep in mind we have only seen it running on a high-end pc and ps4. The Wii-U, ps3 and 360 will probably look like garbage in comparison to the next gen / pc versions. 

again with the N64 and gamecube sh#t, for a console with expensive games and like, 0 multiplatforms, nintendo franchises kinda helped N64 by A LOT. ps2 was already dominating when gc and xbox came.

First of all, no game will look like garbage anymore, it's just not possible. that aside, again you put the wii u in the same league as ps360, wich serves to show how delusional you are. the game never had any ps4 footage by the way, so far it was all pc.

And go read my post, there isn't a magical screen that makes side by side comparison, showing the small and irrelevant differences between wii u and ps4/next box. only haters think people care.

People keep mentioning those 2 consoles because, before the Wii, Nintendo hasn't had any succes ever since Sony entered the market. They just can't compete with them in the core gaming market, that's why they did a 180 with the Wii and targetted a totally different market, people that normally don't play on consoles. Brilliant move by Nintendo and IMO they should keep going that direction.However, Wwith the Wii-U they are also trying to go back to the core gamers and that is exactly what is hurting them.

Core gamers will buy a next gen console because they want next gen graphics, if you think the Wii-U can compete with the ps4/ Next box then fine man. But fact remains that it doesn't. Sure it can still have nice graphics just like the ps3 and 360 can, but you can't argue with computing power numbers. Do you honestly believe MS and Sony would spend a fortune on launching new consoles if you could only see the difference between their current gen plaforms by looking at small, irrelevant differences through a microscope? 

Just let me repeat what Epic said about the Wii-U one more time, so you can take it into perspective...

"When someone asks if Unreal Engine 4 will work on Wii U, Epic co-founder Mark Rein bursts out laughing. "No," he says.

Following an Unreal Engine presentation at 2013's Game Developer Conference, Rein clarifies his response to IGN, still laughing, "I just laugh at the question...Unreal Engine 4, we're not PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, or Wii U. It's next-gen technology. That's what we're aiming for."

So while UE4 proper won't make its way onto Wii U, Rein explains that developers are capable of porting software powered by the engine. "The truth is, if a developer wanted to take an Unreal Engine game and put it on Wii U, they could," Rein continues. "Unreal Engine 3 is kicking ass on Wii U. The best games on Wii U are made on our technology. What more do you want from us?"
