And so it begins....Nintendo confirms Wii U launch games will run at 720p *sigh*

Sheep seem to love comparing wii-u to an ancient 7 year old console. Talk about low standards. Bubu on par or slightly better than 360 guys. Is anyone supposed to be impressed?

Considering, sheep don't have anything else to compare to other than PC, what do you want? "Wii-U is not as weak compared to PC than, PS3/360." oh wait that is exactly the same thing. Then again, everyone else is comparing it to the other 2/3 of next gen, which is also the same as PC, according to them. It isn't like Nintendo said something like, "It can put out dual 1080 signals.", or some crap, they said it can put out 1080, which it can. Nothing being said here is a surprise, and it hardly matters what you compare it to. We don't know much about its specs, and the others of next gen are unrealistic. It is a lose/lose discussion then.

I don't have a problem with the Wii-U's power, it is fair, and will be affordable most likely, that is all I need, that and the good games I know are coming out, just speaking about what was shown this E3. I think the argument, if you can call it that, against PS4/Xbox3's fantasy specs, are all going to crumble on top of the people who believe them. Sony doesn't have too much money to lose. Also, why would Microsoft do it when it won't sell compared to cheaper hardware?

But, I continue to come into these threads to see all of these high hopes and think toward the likely future and wonder what they will say then. Unless Sony/Microsoft wait long enough for better hardware to be really cheap, but by then they would have fallen behind in library and sales.

[QUOTE="Eponique"] C'mon you were there when Vita memory card prices were announced.Eponique

Maybe so, but at least Vita was a proper leap forward in terms of handheld gaming, they also had great-looking games available at launch. Vita should have succeeded, the only problem is that iPhone/Andriod has a large chunk of the handheld gaming market, while DS has firm ground on the rest. There isn't really appeal for the Vita, especially since you can get the same games with better graphics on a PS3 for a better price.

Yeah, and I explained why it was dead on arrival. They should have seen this coming.

I covered this a while back in another thread, Nintendo has like a third as much AAA and AA games as both 360 and PS3, not to mention the awful graphics, horrid controller, and bad online play.

[QUOTE="TheGuardian03"] What happend to all the hype you had for the WiiU XV? is that all gone just because its not 1080p? TheGuardian03

It's gone because of Nintendo's completely idiotic decisions.

Not only do they focus on having so many power-hogging features (a separate screen for controller, clearly inefficient OS, etc.), their terrible E3 conference (could have easily been good, but instead they show us garbage instead of proper games), they seem to love saying "Wii U is very powerful" while the facts clearly dictate otherwise (unless Nintendo is comparing Wii U to Wii, in that case, welcome to current gen Nintendo. You're 6 years late, again), and let's not forget the fact that none of the bigger companies seem to be getting into Nintendo's new console. Everybody is waiting for the next Sony/Microsoft consoles, it's like Nintendo doesn't even matter anymore :-/

Heck, Epic even stated that they didn't design UE4 with Wii U in mind, it's clear that Nintendo isn't concerned with power. They say they want to attract the hardcore gamer, yet they flaunt current gen technology in a "next-gen system". And how powerful can it really be? You have a high-res screen on another controller, plus better online features, plus slightly stronger than current gen specs, and Nintendo never sells at a loss, and Nintendo said they don't want to sell the console for a very high price. That leaves very little room for improvement in terms of power. Nintendo just continues to disappoint me, it's like they're completely out of touch with anything other than their first party games. I really expected more from them after the Wii and considering their track record, but I should have known better than to expect quality from the Nintendo brand.

[spoiler] Yeah, I'm that angry:evil: [/spoiler]

No :(

Graphics are important considering that they need to keep up with the standards set by each generation. I also mentioned how reluctant everybody is to move to the Wii U, if Nintendo thinks I'm going to buy their Wii U console when all they have to offer is first party titles, they're gravely mistaken. Nintendo has shown that they can survive off first party titles with the Wii, but it's not enough for me.

*sigh*

I guess I'm just in Wii U hate mode because of all the disappointment from the news lately. This was a golden opportunity, Nintendo could have done so much more....

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="Bigboi500"]I'll be buying Halo 4, and I don't care if it's not 1080p, just like most people don't. Nobody cares that Wii ports and multiplat ports for alaunch library aren't in 1080p either.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]not surprised you didnt get my point. Lets me try to make it simpler, imagine if halo 5 was on the xbox 720 only, yet didnt have a major improvement to graphics. Cranler

[QUOTE="TheGuardian03"] All i read is GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS, i didn't expect them to have a very powerful consle but i am fine with what we have now, games still look great to me, there is more than just graphics to a game, Wiiu will be for first party games from ninty and ps4 for all first party and third party games assuming sony has a more powerful consle than wiiu. right now i have no interest in a MS consle unless something interests me.but like this gen i will buy all consles eventually.TheGuardian03

Back in the day they did, with the N64, SNES, etc.

At least those were powerful for their time and had some great games that pushed tech forward.

We can wait all we like. It's already dead to me :(

It's nice to see you though, it's been a while Guardian :P

I haven't seen you around here much.

This is getting really out of hand, so we're gonna have to take it up in the new STICKY
