When Mario Galaxy came out it looked on par with any Xbox or Ps3 game on the market at the time. Even the early tech demo of Zelda looks better then most PS3 title now. I guarantee that by the time PS4 comes out Nintendo games will be looking just as good as early next gen titles.

u got to be kidding rightu cant b serious u are telling me that mario galaxy look just azz good azz gears of war or call of duty  or even kill zone or god of war mater of fact metal gear lmao!!!!!!!!!!

A little reading comprehension would be appreciated, pokeclaudel specifically said at the time when Galaxy was released which is November 2007, at that point only the first Gears of War was released, Metal Gear 4 released in June 2008, Kill Zone 2 in February 2009 and God of War 3 in March 2010.

Mario Galaxy doesn't even look as good as Kameo (360 launch title).  Not even close.

I will say that many of the early 360 games were just hi res ports of PS2/Xbox games (ie: Gun, Tomb Raider Legend, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and many more) and did absolutely nothing to showcase the power of the console.  The 360 released in 2005 but it took almost a year for the first game to REALLY show what next gen could hold.  I hope and suspect that this is the case with the Wii U.  It's getting ports of PS3/360 games but it will show us its true power by Christmas 2013.  I think Nintendo is taking advantage of being the only console on the market and when the competition makes their move, that's when they'll unleash the big guns.

That's what Sony did with the PS2.  When the Gamecube and Xbox released in 2001, the came face to face with Final Fantasy X, Jak and Daxter, Metal Gear Solid 2, Ico, Devil May Cry, and a bevy of instant classics.  The competition never stood a chance.

720p, you're only 7 years late Nintendo. There will be a big gap again between PS4/Nextbox and WiiU. -_- I just hope Nintendo first party games will be 1080p.

Nice job being nit-picky about the 720p thing. Expected though.

That doesn't even make sense!

You people do know the 720p 60FPS is only for launch games.



In order to show the next-gen ability of Wii U, please quickly make a new 3D Mario, a new F-ZERO, a new Metroid, a new Zelda, to prove.... PLS! pls! PLS!!



Next generation of disappointment obviously =P



Ya I agree so far. Of course it is technically next generation but it is lacking anything new. So far the gamepad is just an accessory that could have been added to the Wii. Nintendo needs to show off some software to prove me wrong! I want/need to see why it is the future directly from the games I'll be playing on it.

What Mario Galaxy were you playing? Because it certainly wasn't the same one I was.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
