Games have a lot of problems as it is on this Gens consoles, can't imagine how bad it would be on the Wii U. Wii U isnt built to run such games I'm rather games that look more animated and cartoony. Loom at Watch Dogs, it was disaster on the Wii U from what I heard.....the Wii U just doesn't have the specs to run most AAA games imo and people complain about broken games as it is. Don't need to make it worst.
BTW I like my WII U, but I do think it's time to at least boost the specs Nintendo so it compete. Imagine a console with the power of the other two and having their first party which is great. |
yeah like the gamecube,

The Gamecube's problem wasn't the hardware, it was everything else. Here's an excript from Emily Rogers' article on the Gamecube. Nintendo let Sony run rampant between 2000 and 2002, when devkits would become available for the majority of 3rd party developers that Nintendo didn't prioritize.

Technical director Jim Merrick said, “We are now and will be in a shortage condition for development kits for a long time to come. But going to low-cost disc-based media is breaking down some of the economic barriers that publishers felt toward the cartridge-based business. So we have a lot of interest. And we’re not going to be able to satisfy the demand for development kits. In fact, probably six months after the Gamecube launches we’ll still be in a shortage of development kits. We just can’t produce them fast enough.”
In 2001, many developers still hadn’t received their development kits, and this caused rumors to spread around the industry that GameCube might not launch that year. Nintendo’s George Harrison put those rumors to rest.
[George Harrison quote removed for brevity]
The first twelve months of GameCube’s third party support was hurt by high licensing fees, shortages/delays of development kits, and Nintendo being very selective on who they worked with. After the Nintendo 64, this was not a good way to start the first year of third party support for Nintendo’s new console.

didnt know that about the GC, that actually explains a LOT and just shows Ninty being Ninty which is kinda sad.
