Ok we know, we know graphic faithfuls! The WiiU is Gimmicky, Kiddie, Damage Controlled bullshit of a current-gen Nintendo system that can somehow run next-gen graphics engines. We get it already! You guys are all very loyal and hardcore graphics first gamers that for certain all obtain high-end gaming rigs, since you care so much for the bleeding edge in technology. So I helped you guys out by putting most of your favorite hate catch phrases all into one post. Now you can ignore the next 200 ...
120+ and counting comments on this post and 38 comments on the artice with Epic stating that UE4 could run on WiiU!
I'm just saying... There are alot of upset fanboys about the WiiU being able to run 1 specific graphics engine. Lol
Not to mention that a game doesn't have to be M rated to be a good game! There are shovelware M rated titles also.
That's a logical and well said statement there! I have no clue why people are expecting these next consoles to be bleeding edge when they don't want to pay for it...
People understand this! For what Iwata is talking about are companies like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo can offer only so much of a difference at a respectable price point to consumers. You guys seriously can't expect PS4 to produce Avatar like visuals for a $400 console and games costing $60. I mean these current HD systems still can't replicate Toy Story level of graphics and you guys don't believe that there is a virtual wall of what can be provided in a box! Bottom line is tha...
Here's what I wonder about. All of these indie developers are coming out of the woodwork in support of WiiU bringing software to the eshop. Is there something that we are missing here? There were rumors that Nintendo had meetings with Google awhile back and I'm wondering if the WiiU has some sort of custom Android OS. Rumors were stated recently that 512MB of flash RAM was being dedicated to the OS alone and if that's true, that isn't a normal video game console style OS then....
@VanillaBear: I know you may not understand how graphics engines work, but please stop inclining that WiiU won't get the Unreal 4 engine because of less horse-power. That's not the determining factors here! If the WiiU utilizes a GPU that is up to date on current graphic features and abilities it can run UE4, it's as simple as that. Now that being said, will the 720 & PS4 run it better? Most likely... But lets not pretend that it's a horse-power issue when it comes to wet...
And from this article you get that the WiiU is weak in comparison to the 360&PS3, even though he clearly states that WiiU doesn't have many limitations compared to current consoles! That's some reading comprehension on your part for sure...
As much as people love to hate Nintendo, they simply can't argue against facts that Wii has become a mainstay brand now! No other company has released an add on device (Wii balance board) with what essentially looks like a tech demo of a game (Wii Fit&plus) and sells 40+million to the public @ $100 bucks. The Wii brand is recognizable to the casual market like ipad is to tablets. The hardcore or core audience that are intrested in WiiU for those 3rd party games that weren't on the...
Well he wouldn't even have to clarify himself if he was busy working on something!
Nah, no way! Sony Ericsson phones don't sell well now, so why would they put a feature into the Vita that would have made it even more expensive? And one hopes that after the splurge they are taking on Vita, if they will even make another handheld system...
I think producers need to sit down and STFU! Do what he does best and make games. Its like they all want to be movie stars and in the spotlight now. In one breathe he's happy for the collaboration with Nintendo and in another he's trashing the WiiU saying it has a slow CPU. (Which is the very first time any company has come out and said anything of the sorts. Many things and negative might I add have been said about WiiU, but it's never been about the CPU at all.) So this guy is j...
Well hands down, no one has stated the obvious here. But it looks like Nintendo just makes better quality controllers in the end. The Pro contoller not only looks more durable but it looks more expensive as well!
And people state that Nintendo doesn't know what a good CPU is. They've only had the best CPU's over the competition in their systems since the N64.(excluding the Wii of course) But the GC CPU was much better than the off the shelf Xbox Pentium that generation and it had a much lower clock speed to boot... The N64 almost always had higher FPS, better AI and Physics than PS1, so the whole Nintendo doesn't know what a good CPU is argument doesn't make much sense really! If a...
Just shoot this topic to death already! I just wish that when these companies come out talking about specs that they list the current dev-kit inhouse that they are working with as well! Sounds like they are describing BigFoot when they talk about the WiiU. "It's 7ft tall with horns, No when I saw it last it was fury, 10ft tall and looked like a Bearilla!" Lol
Obviously the system can't be all the things that we have been hearing at once, so from the lowest specs like...
Well personally i'm glad that your opinion matters to nobody but you and that you aren't paid to give your opinion to anyone... Once again it would be nice if you detractors would state facts and not "well I believe"! That means nothing in the fact of what will actually happen when the system is actually released. People are gonna do and buy what they want, it's called freedom of choice and unless you have Bill Gates like money to pay those interested to not buy a WiiU. ...
@Bothebo: you want for Nintendo to fail to hard! Which is probably why they don't... Nintendo didn't even need a year head start to take away the market lead from Microsoft so what is your point! I think the reason most Nintendo fans do bring up selling numbers, is because when actual games are talked about. The Nintendo Doom Squad either say they aren't hardcore enough or are made for kids. So in line with most negative commentors stating that once 720 and PS4 are released that W...
If by fail they mean follow in the pattern of selling like the 3DS and Wii, then yes the WiiU will most likely fail people! Lol
These articles are so tired that they aren't even coming up with legit possible reasons anymore...
But yet according to many people here the WiiU has outdated 6yr old tech inside! While no other console before this has incorporated such tech into the system for gameplay ideas.
What difference does it make who the comment comes from if most didn't believe Epic when they said it, or Randy Pitchford when he said it, THq when they said it, Crytek when they said it and now that Epic even further comes out to state UE4 is possible on WiiU, if a developer chooses to go that route for their games... I mean really people, keep trying!
