I love how the video from Archbrix totally calls out the ridiculous journalism of the Batman WiiU to PS3 bullshots. Kudos.

I want 4k!

Nintendo why U lazy?

I had no idea Nintendo went all out and implemented sweating feature.

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.

The Radeon HD 4850 was able to render multiple games that were released for the HD consoles at above 1080p@60fps ... The technology required to hit this mark is old, low cost, with low energy consumption; and there is little reason to doubt the Wii U will be able to do this.

Now, I have significant doubts that most games designed for next generation consoles will render above 720p@30fps; but that is because I expect developers to target the Wii U as "minimum requirements" and focus on getting a steady 720p@30fps out of the system while more powerful hardware might get modestly enhanced visuals rendered at a higher resolution at a faster frame rate.

"Assassin’s Creed 3 run on the Wii U in 1080p at 60fps while the PS3 and 360 versions will run at 60 fps in 720p."

umm the PS360 version is 30fps like every other game in the series, doesn't exactly give a lot of confidence in their reliability.

Never said it was difficult. Just an engine swap (UE3 optimized for the 360 to UE3 optimized for the the Wii U) and come scripting changes and opmizations. That is the "easy" port. More in-depth ports include resource tweeks to make it look better and optizing the engine itself to accomdate the scritping to make it run better on the machine. But the guy was saying they could just put the 360 code and a Wii U disc which is a gross oversimplification.

Still no 4D.

Edit:

It should come with at least 3 more dungeons. And by dungeons I mean Earth/Wind Temple and not Forsaken Fortress...

And wasn't there a quote from GameTrailers, saying that Nintendo developed Wii games at 720p and downgraded them to 480p for release. So I believe Nintendo just upgraded their previously developed Wii versions of Pikmin 3 and NSMB a bit for the console's launch.

Is NSMBU also going to be rendered at 720p?

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.
