| Soundwave said: This happens every time. Remember when Wii U was supposed to be using an IBM 7 PowerPC core or some beastly CPU core with a AMD 4850 GPU (1 TFLOP)? The final system was no where close to that. Everyone assumed AMD from the start because the GCN-Wii U were AMD/Art-X, but Nintendo is making a device that needs to have a mobile chip in it. |
There was a lot of weird rumors floating around before the Wii U's launch. I remember being a lurker on the site still when I was hearing the gamepad could simulate the feeling of grass and other things due to this tech that was on the touch screen... all because some company who is working on that sort of stuff had a booth near Nintendo (I think that was the reason people thought that. Its been so long, I cant remember)
