Julius Fondem, the Marketing Manager at Frozenbyte discussed the Wii U bit, and how the console packs a lot more punch than gamers are giving it credit for.
In an interview with gamerxtreme, Fondem was asked if the Wii U was more powerful than the public seems to believe.
“We have really enjoyed working with the Wii U hardware. It was rather easy to port our modern proprietary engine to it, and it does pack the punch to bring to life some really awesome visuals.
The Wii U is a very modern console with a lot of RAM which helped us out a lot during development. The hardware capabilities have improved quite a lot from the original Wii, and the Wii U is a truly powerful console. The console is definitely more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PS3.”
Once again another developer shows some love for Wii U. But Nintendo still has it’s work cut out for them. Ubisoft is disappointed with the sales of ZombiU, and third-parties like EA and Bethesda won’t develop for the system.
Nintendo needs to make sure they have a strong second half to the year and drive the install base up to bring on more third-party publishers.
