All Nintendo first party titles will run at 720p in 30fps and 60fps, depending on the game.

No AAA 3rd party titles will run NATIVE 1080p, but will DISPLAY at 1080p. Expect their native resolutions to be slightly higher than PS360 versions, so most likely less sub-720p upscaled. People are taking a NIntendo rep's words out of context from Batman: AC running at 1080p, but not native. Expect solid native 720p gaming from Wii U, nothing more (unless it's a small downloadable title or 2D game).

Keep your expectations in check, and realize why Iwata's been banging on the "specs don't matter" drum for so long. If Nintendo was releasing a system capable of rendering AAA games at native 1080p, the cost would be way higher than consumers would be willing to pay. Affordable innovation over graphics is their undying mantra.


It was confirmed by the devs to be native 1080p

I'd say link to the source of that information, but it's all based on rumors.

This is how people get misinformed by some Nintendo Rep:

http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/07/assassins-creed-3-batman-arkham-city-will-run-in-native-1080p-on-the-wii-u/

That is false.It was stating long before that event. At least for assassin's creed. It was mentioned somewhere else that they have Arkham City at 1080p but are working on mkaing it stable at 60 fps a well.

I believe they said it on twitter as well as to a some people directly. There are no news article with them saying it because they've never given an interview about the details themselves. They are still under NDA like every other dev. The only people who can really talk about it are Nintendo reps.

Again, you're saying something as truth yet have no source for it. I'll even show you another earlier source, probably the one that got these false truths stuck in your head:

http://www.nowgamer.com/news/1388344/wii_u_price_release_date_details_leaked_by_ubisoft_dev_rumour.html?

Note the key word is RUMOR.

You are incorrect once more. I did post a source as well as a few other people much earlier in the thread.


No, there is a video of some random guy talking about the Nintendo rep saying the games RUN in 1080p, which has led to the ASSUMPTIONS that they're native 1080p, and it's all just rumor.  I'm begging for you to post your supposed proof from a Ubisoft dev (Twitter post, whatever).  There are nothing more than rumors at this point, so good luck.

I don't understand your logic here.  You ask for links to the confirmed native 1080p res and then you dismiss one as a rumor (which I actually agree, it was) and the other as just a Nintendo rep that doesn't know what he's talking about.  Could he be wrong about "native" 1080p?  Sure, I suppose.  But so far we have a Nintendo rep's word which pans out previous rumors vs a guy on a forum named TheShape31 who just doesn't believe it.  Tell me, where is your proof that it in fact does not run in native 1080p?


The fact of the matter is that the Nintendo rep said the games RUN in 1080p, and everyone reporting on it assumed they MEANT native 1080p.  I'm not saying that those games will or won't, I'm saying that there are nothing but rumors backing up the idea of native 1080p at this point.

Okay. There have too many news for the Wii U that ranges between excellent to not-so-great to promising to ridiculous.
I was seriously considering purchasing it close to launch. I will now wait several months upon its release.

You really just need to wait till release to know though, right?

It is unfortunate that it has it has become a meme, a culture even, for analysts and gamers alike to formulate unbstantiated rumors regarding Nintendo. It's frustrating for gamers such as myself who's actually waiting for Nintendo to prove itself, and see what they may have to offer.

While many see pety reasons deeming Wii U useless, I rather see its potential. However, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, though so I'll wait and see.

Is that the fact of the matter?  I can't find the exact quote from the man, so I could just as easily argue that he did in fact say "native 1080p", as that's what most of the reports say.  Again, if you have evidence to the contrary, then I'll concede to it.

Whether or not it's true remains to be seen, but as HappySqurriel pointed out earlier, the WiiU's tech is more than capable of accomplishing this, particularly if it's still only 30fps.

Batman will not run in native 1080p, that I am sure of.

It's exactly like TheShape31 says, a rumor and misunderstanding. Batman and ACIII could be upscaled to 1080p on the Wii U (we will see, but I kinda doubt it) but that's not the same thing as rendered (native) 1080p and obviously not as good looking.

Could you please explain to us how you're so sure of this?

Sounds fair. Go in peace ;)

I like how the tech that's involved is all based on rumor and speculation, as well.  So now in threads like this you use that hypothetical tech as proof of what Wii U can do.  So the fact of the matter remains that everything you and he are attempting to pass off as fact is all RUMOR.  Again, I'm not saying that any particular 3rd party game won't be able to run in 1080p natively on Wii U.  Just don't try and keep passing off rumors as facts, then say "prove me wrong".  Until someone has a direct quote from an actual developer working on a specific game, we don't know anything yet.  And until someone buys a Wii U and takes it apart, we won't know what kind of tech is in there.  I hope the harware is capable of everything you guys are saying, I really do.  But it's all wait and see at this point until the people behind the games are allowed to finally talk... soon, please.

And?  The RUMOR is that the WiiU hardware is capable of running these 7th gen games natively in 1080p.  This is what a Nintendo rep has stated as well.  Whether or not it's true, again, remains to be seen, and I am NOT stating that it's absolutely true.

What I am stating is that the multiple RUMORED specs and comments regarding the resolution hold more water than what you or the other guy above who is so "sure" have delivered.  I'm not trying to change your minds or make you believe them, just don't keep playing the RUMOR card when you have no evidence to the contrary.
