It looks more technically demanding to me than the Pokken screens with their two (admittedly great looking) characters in a small and not so high res environment.


I think there are a lot of completely necessary compromises being made to make that game possible on the Wii U, and I don't think that the same can be done with Pokken simply because the arena is smaller. We've seen the best graphically looking fighting games on similar hardware, and the results don't even come close. The in game models look as detailed as the character art, dude. At 60fps. I'm not buying it.

...I mean, I'm buying it. Like I'm... purchasing... I just don't believe it. You get me.

Seriously. Spam my profile with "I told you so's" if Pokken looks anywhere near this good if it comes out on the Wii U. I would gladly eat crow on this.

But I know I won't.

Downgrades don't necessarily confirm the system couldn't handle it; its a different architecture, isn't it? I'm pretty sure the arcade board isn't based on the Wii U CPU/GPU.

And while the shading and texturing is excellent, it still doesn't look beyond what we've seen in Wii U titles like Trine 2: Director's Cut or the Art of Balance remaster.
