Yeah. Zelda lost me quite some time ago and Skyward Sword was stale. Mario, sure...ok....but in the end it's still Mario. Not about graphics but gameplay.

The Wii sucks, mostly. Wii U is a stupider bastard child of the Wii that will look as good as the 360 but due to it's mindlessly retarded controller it will fail. Nintendo wants to keep their product cheap, their games monotonous and mildly challenging, and appeal to the largest possible audience. Making some slightly more powerful console to try and tell the gamer crowd, "remember us? You used to play Chrono Trigger on us, remember?" is kind of a desperate ploy.

If you want your brand to be Mario and Zelda watered down to appeal to senior centers, 4 year olds, and soccer moms, then own it. Don't toe the middle ground with some abomination that won't match what the next gens of Xbox and PS will do.

the Wii appeals to people who throw parties a ton and have a lot of friends over. Not sure why people are knocking it. I loved the update to the Mario franchise as well as Zelda.

No, rather it looks like it is more on par with the graphics of the PS2 and the original XBox. Look at those textures. It looks like the first Kingdom Hearts.

Like I said, stick to porn.

unfuckingbelievable.

These idiots really need to stop making consoles and just become a 3rd party game manufacturer for the next gen of Sony and Microsoft consoles.

I hope the word gets out this time so consumers are smart enough to avoid giving these idiots any money for this shit console. Nothing would make me happier than to see Nintendo go into the shitter as a company. To do this once was inexcusable enough, but to fuck it up again is ridiculous. I hope they go bankrupt.

So, IMU, didn't you say that the Wii U would be worse than the current xbox 360 and PS3? This article seems to indicate it will be as good or better, but surpassed by the next generation.

I'll still buy one. I just will wait until it's cheap. Mariokart!

Oh, so you are cherry picking quotes among the ones you've posted.

Wii U will be capable of better graphics than the Xbox 360 and PS3. It is illogical to think otherwise. They'll be behind the next generation ones though.

I don't know why everyone thinks Nintendo is the dumbest company around. They've done pretty well for about 30 years. There is no way they are stupid enough to release a console that still isn't as good as the xbox 360. No chance.

If you don't think the lack of HD for the Wii qualifies Nintendo for the award for Dumbest Company Around then you are either in serious denial or just a fanboy.

And I don't care how well it sold, it was a scam product with a limited lifespan that ended up buried in everyone's closet within 2 years of its release.

I don't think I'd be using my Wii right now with or without HD. It was an awesome console that had a shorter shelf life than others. I feel I got my moneys worth with it even without HD.

Considering the Wii basically saved the company I don't know how you can think it wasn't a great job.

It was a money grab with a gimmicky controller that worked very well. In the long run it will be considered a failure because of its short life span and Nintendo's inability to capitalize on its popularity by extending the lifespan and dominating this generation of the console wars. As much money as they made off the Wii, the billions of dollars they lost due to the lack of HD has to put the Wii clearly in the category of products that failed in the long run. Especially when you consider the spot they now find themselves in while trying to release a new console.

They are fighting an uphill battle now because of their inability to stay relevant in the past 4 years.


If this new console fails part of the blame has to go on the Wii.


It raises an interesting question.....how many other products exist in the category of "failure, yet profitable".

Quote:
In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada opened up about his experience working with Nintendo's latest home console, Wii U. According to Harada, development is "coming along smoother than most people would think, as far as the look of the game." While he finds the system's graphical power on the same par as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, he noted that the Wii U's CPU is a bit slower than the competition.

"As far as graphical processing and such, it's not much of an issue," he said. "But as far as the CPU goes, the clock is kinda low. I guess they're trying to keep power consumption down so we have to come up with creative ways to get around that and that's taking a little bit of time." When specifically asked if it was slower than the PS3 and 360, he responded "maybe a little bit."

As for the Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Harada asserts progress is "coming along quite rapidly" and isn't far behind the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. And while the world still awaits official word on a Wii U release date, Harada is eager to get the game out "as close as possible" to when the other versions release on September 14.


These aren't even anonymous sources any longer Rick...it may be time for you to just accept it.
Accept what? Go read the last few pages. The initial discussion by you was that the Wii U won't be on par with the current generation. It is time for you to accept that was wrong.

He said "maybe a little bit" which isn't exactly the revelation you want it to be.

He's probably wrong too. It's probably at least equal, which is kind of the point.

Yes, though in reality you are the one who is misusing his reports. It sounds like he thinks that it's just as good as the xbox 360 and the PS3. You just saw "maybe a little bit" and went all IMU thinking this proves you right.

Anyways, when the system comes out, it will be at least on par with the xbox 360 and PS3 and I predict it surpasses it before the other next generation consoles come out. Those will be much better in terms of graphics though.

By GPU alone it will be quite a bit more powerful when compared to current consoles.

We still don't know the full specs of the system, either. I'd be interested to know if they used DDR5 memory and I like that the 32GB HD is a solid-state unit.

uh...what? Seriously? The Wii gets used in my house every weekend. It will continue to get use long from now. I use it more than my PS3 and 360 combined.

Of course, I do also indulge in quite a bit of Dreamcast action.

I mean...as long as you don't listen to the several developers working with the Wii U that have said the graphics are pretty on par with PS3.


We haven't even seen final specs yet. But it is carrying GPU based on the AMD R700 series meaning that it wins, hands down, the GPU comparison.

1) That is a re-release.
2) It is not exclusive.

Specifications can occasionally lie. I care more about how the pieces fit together in an actual graphics processing environment.

My PC is still using an 8800GTS 512MB G92 card. According to specifications, this card should suck with many current games. But since I'm not an idiot, with some careful overclocking and settings tweaks...I can run any game out there on almost the highest settings besides Battlefield 3, and I can still run that 1920x1200 with 2xAA and medium textures.

The developers have actually run games through on it. They know way more about its capabilities than any spec sheet will tell you.


Or they may have been using pre-dev kits before the official hardware kits went out.

Either way:

Congrats on being 1%er. Do you have your Wii hooked up to an HDTV? Do you have an HDTV?

I guarantee your one of the very few that are still using the Wii. I would guess that the only people still using the Wii are people who don't have an HDTV and/or don't have a 360/PS3.
