Developers Using Underclocked Wii U Dev Kits

A white paper published by Hit Detection suggests that developers are currently using underclocked development kits which resulted in Nintendo not showing actual 3rd party gameplay footage during last weeks Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Seems a small issue compared to Nintendo needing to basically build an social network presence from scratch...

TheViper5442d ago

You mean as in they need to enable Facebook and Twitter access?

What in the world does that have to do with underclocked dev kits?

Lyle915443d ago

Considering a lot of developers are saying the dev kits they have are more powerful than PS3/360, then the fact that they are under-clocked would be amazing.

D0ffy5443d ago

Exactly what I was thinking. Would be extremely awesome if it was a pure powerhouse. Though I don't believe power is everything, it would certainly be a nice addition to see the Wii U burst out some insane graphics.

ilikegam3s5443d ago

oooooo wont be surprised if these 'underclocked' wii u dev kits have better gfx output than both x360 and ps3. :P

If they are, imagine what the gfx would be like if it is overclocked :D

SCW19825443d ago

Fool me once nintendo shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

jacksonmichael5442d ago

The Wii fooled you...? If graphics are that important, couldn't you tell beforehand that it was a bad idea...?

jaizenmonillas5443d ago

Not even a single trailer impressed me so what can an overclocked wii u would do?

TheViper5442d ago

If the Zelda demo or bird demo did not impress you, might I suggest you go watch some CGI animated movies, have a coke and a smile.

jaizenmonillas5441d ago

those were not gameplays, just tech demos i remember 360 putting some awesome tech demos but never really seen those kind of graphics in an actual gameplay

TheViper5441d ago

These were rendered on the fly using underclocked dev kits and interactive. And from the X360 demos I remember (some film noir scene and a car crashing) it has exceeded those long ago.

D0ffy5443d ago

What is too late? It's just been announced xD

Though I can see that some things were certainly not clear at the presentation, but saying it is "too late" is just a troll comment.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi63d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer64d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot64d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno64d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay64d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno62d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK63d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
