No surprise there. Though I'm still not sure if it's even going to get released on WiiU.


Why would they continue to mention it if they didn't plan to release it? Usually when a game quietly gets canned, they just shut up about it and say "no comment" when asked, similar to what 2K is doing with Borderlands 2 Vita.

You mean Bioshock.

I remember a thread where one dude was saying wii u could run FFXV no problem. And now we get this. Honestly no one should be surprised about this unless you are a Nintendo extremist. Wii U owners will sadly continue to get the short end of the stick.


A late badly ported game to the system which is now looking pretty bad on a lot of formats is not a definition of what the system can or cannot run.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

anybody with common sense could have know that.

I agree, the only difference that I would like is a steadier framerate and good gamepad integration.

What massively shocking news.

bolded: what does this have to do with the topic? one version of a game being a little closer to ps360 than Xone/ps4 =/= Wii U being unable to run FF 15, wich is only marginally ahead of games we've seen running on Wii U.


 Used as an example. Nintendo fans have to keep their expections low when it comes to thrid party. If they are expecting parity then they will be disappointed.

Nintendo fans who are seriously still in denial about this need to get over it already.

A 33 watt machine is not going to output graphics similar to PS4/X1 unless its running on fairy dust and magic.

Nintendo does not want to make that type of machine, that's all there is to it.

wii u is not a 33 wat machine, not that it changes anything from this (now old) excuse of watt consume. Wii U also showed that it can hold it's own with stuff like X, mario kart 8, bayonetta 2...

I'm unconvinced; this "in between" line smells like placation to me; I recall them saying the same about AC4. As my sig says, I bet they just toss PS3/360 assets onto Wii U and optimize it just enough to make it (semi) playable, just like AC4, Splinter Cell, etc.

precisely, especially when the console already showed stuff like this:

for them to say it will be close to PS3 it has to be really garbage...i mean rubbish...i mean ACIV
