I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Weren't Vigil Games one of the devs touting the Wii U's hardware in interviews?

"Plenty of horsepower" my ass.


no, they only said that the wii u port was very easy. took only few men and few weeks.


So they took a couple guys and just slapped it on the WiiU with pretty much zero optimization, big surprise. Keep in mind that porting something between the 360 & PS3 requires a ton of work to get it to run well.

Furthermore, the demographics owning Nintendo consoles tend to not be quite as critical about minor technical shortcomings, focusing more on visual style.


That's not fair to say at all.


Well, since the majority of software played on NIntendo console's is first-party, there isn't anything to compare those game to anyway.  Nintendo's games are built to take advantage of whatever qualities are in the machine, and third-parties who are porting from the HD twins are left to either figure it out or release a port with lower fidelity and a worse framerate.

Also, more kids tend to own Nintendo systems, and kids tend to not care about frames per second or screen tearing.  Since, you know, they're too young to even know what that is.

OMFG what the hell kinda of AA filters are they using on the console versions? If you look at the Wii U vids, the textures actually look better because of the massive blur you see in other versions. This game is a fucking abomination in itself. The PC version doesn't look that great either, but at least it runs faster I guess.


The Wii U version looks surprisingly good, holds up very well against the PC version! In some points I thought the textures looked better...

But what's going on with frame rate?? Is that a huge problem? I want this game when I get my Wii U :(

I don't think the game play part will be a problem, all consoles are equally bad on that front IMO :P

Lastly, complaining about the multiplats on a Nintendo system is almost a moot point. Of course, when Reggie goes out of his way to say the games are "better" on Wii U, you HAVE to contest it, but it really doesn't speak against the machine's general qualities that games made to look good on other systems don't look exactly as good on Wii U.

Vigil games were just really cocky about it.

You made us sane Nintendo fans a favor.
