This is the kind of stupid bad press the console gets since day 1

How in the seven hells could they have problems with a game that is even running on 3ds and Vita? It looks like a GameCube game on HD, jesus...

Don´t say "because the specs", because that has NOTHING to do, say the real problem and stop spreading shit.

And this time we all know this is bullshit bercause you only need to see the game, but who knows how many times developers have used the underpowered argument as an excuse for their complete incompetence or their lack of interest to port the game to wiiu, this time is pretty obvious, but if the game was a bit more good looking then all the people will blame wiiu hardware.


Maybe they say that because the specs are the problem.

Last I checked, they were using UE3, which I am pretty sure is not optimized for the wii u, giving the game a handicap already. How were they trying to circumvent this issue, by just having the cpu make up for the loss, but as we all know, the Wii u cpu is on par or slightly worse than the PS3 and Xbox 360. "But the Wii u has a couple of prettier gamez!" This is mostly because their gpu is not completely trash, but the gpu isn't enough to make up for the low performance of the cpu. "But the game is also coming out for 3ds!" And it will look similar but nowhere near the console version (just look at the different lego city versions).

if it were 4-5 devs trashing the Wii u specs, I would agree with you, but every third party dev that is not in direct coordination with Nintendo has agreed that the specs are awful. Slightly mad studios was the last dev to support the Wii u specs, and even they realized they were wrong.

I marvel at the fact that sooo many people think a developers job is easy and that not porting a game is an act of laziness and incompetence (instead of a business decision given third party performance on the Wii u). It was an act of incompetence for Nintendo to give the Wii u an awful cpu in the first place. Nintendo dug themselves into a hole, and you're expecting third parties to help them out of it.

and speaking of an hd gamecube game, have you seen starfox zero?

Bayonetta 1 & 2
Mario Kart 8
Smash Bros 4
Mario 3D world
Yoshi Woolly World
DK tropical freeze
Batman Arkham City
Captain Toad
Kirby Rainbow Curse 
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Need For Speed Most wanted
Pikmin 3
Mass Effect 3
Splatoon
Deus Ex Human Revolution
CoD Black ops 2/ ghost
Fatal Frame 5
Trine 2
Fast racing neo

Etc Etc Etc

All those games have like 5 times better graphics  than Mighty No 9

So "WiiU have a couple of prettier gamez" is bullshit, in fact, the majority of WiiU games have better graphics than MN9, so yeah, I don´t believe them with that "it´s because the specs" shit, they didn´t say anything about the ps3/x360 version and those are overall inferior machines with a very similar cpu.
