Better than the "look, we have more specs" gimmick Sony has been constanstly going with.
At least Nintendo is original.
Same with the PS4. They cost around the same to make.
That had no effect on the Wii U's eDRAM which is the same thing only on a larger chip.
The Wii U version is 1080p 60FPS and still hailed as the best version overall.
A persona promoting Sony first and foremost telling someone not to buy a Wii U game? Seems legit.
That it what 90% of articles that aren't doom or bashing are for Nintendo.
This article is a change of pace.
These are things that were plain to see to any person with tech knowledge regardless of the bad ports or negative proclaimations from tech sites taht are pro-Sony/Microsoft and Anti-Nintendo like Eurogamer and most of Neogaf.
A lot of those low end estimates weren't making sense.
Its funny that we have inverted disagrees and agree with no difference between what we said other than the console we usually post under.
Tells you a lot about the userbase of this site.
Wow, this article shot to the top fast.
There are a lot of people with an emotional investment in the making sure the Wii U is not viewed positively.
Yesterday.
Show me a last gen console that has more than a gig of RAM, GPGPU, DX11 features, Shader Modal 4/5.0 or a modern tesselator.
All of them, but if only 1 were possible, then I would say the PC as that would provide the most flexibility and biggest possible audience.
Automatic downvote for putting Wii U in last gen.
They actually have been dying quite rapidly for the past 7 years.
Factor 5, Free Radcial, Big Huge Games, THQ to name a few.
The cost of developing game for stronger hardware it becoming to high. I said this back when the PS3 launched. Capcom has already stated that Making a PS4/Xbone takes over 3 times what it took to make a 360/PS3 game.
People need to wake up and realize that specs don't make games better. They make them cost more and ...
There are many new games and many old franchises have been continued.
Did you completely miss Pikmin 3, Monlith's X, Fire Emblem Awakening, The Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. etc?
Sometimes I wonder if you people live in another dimension.
They constantly release new I.P.s every year. They simply don't sale anywhere near as much as the old ones. Nothing can be done to change that.
Any form of logic behind retiring something that is extremely successful is idiotic though from a business since.
Why do you people always attack the most successful aspects of Nintendo?
Mario is the most popular mascot in history and Mario games are the best selling games on the planet.
I love this game and art style. Its actually where my avatar is from.
Actually, NEC introduced CD's to the gaming industry with the Turbo Graphx CD if I'm not mistaken, and then SEGA.
Also, Nintendo didn't shun HD graphics. They didn't see a reason to charge customers $500+ just for graphics.
They chose a more creative route than just focusing on graphics "again and again" like Sony. They introduced a new gaming standard itself which both Sony and Microsoft later copied.
Indeed, Halo, Gran Turismo and Call of Duty feel old but people still rate those highly.
That wasn't revealed in a direct. That was revealed at VGX...
The Wii U is over twice as powerful as the PS3 and 360.
Of oucrse making a game to show off that power will cost twice as much and take possibly twice as long to develop, so most games won't.
