LOL, sheep thinking WiiU will take advantage of tha powar!!!

GC says hi.....and most 3rd party devs said bye bye and went the PS2 and XBOX route :lol:

Sorry, I just honestly don't see 3rd parties licking Nintendo's ass because of teh Powar!!

All I see next gen is MS and Sony battling each other for the core gamers. WiiU simply stands by itself for the other crowd. What type of crowd? Who the phukc knows?

If Kinect and Move prove anything, as well as PS3/360 selling less than Wii, I'd be careful in thinking that.

I'm expecting it to be only a tiny bit more powerful than the 360. Nintendo fans have to get used to it, this is how Nintendo does things now. You're going to have a gen of games that have graphics most are already bored with, deal with it.

People say they couldn't make it weaker than a 360, I don't know, don't underestimate Nintendo, they made the Wii weaker than an Xbox (graphically) somehow.

My call on the hardware: Quad-Core 3.3Ghz CPU (the CPU in it doesn't come with anything less than four cores) 1GB RAM @ 1300Mhz 1GB VRAM@ 800Mhz (or 625Mhz) 8GB Flash Storage One Wii U Pad Controller in the box, One Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck included as well. It will probably do native 720p for all games, but not 1080p in much of them. I assume this is because streaming the 480p game to the tablet will be taxing on the hardware.

I don't think anyone believes the WiiU won't be at least on par with the 360/PS3. But that doesn't matter what matters is how much more powerful it is going to be. The Wii was more powerful than the Gamecube, but really who cared? it wasn't close to 360 and PS3, so saying it was slightly better than the Gamecube was pretty irrelevant.

Wii U is going to fight next gen machines, not Ps3 or Xbox360. I don't know if will be more powerful than PS4 and xbox"720" cose its specs are not public but i doubt it a lot.

About motion controlers, I've Wii, Ps3 move and xbox Kinect; I like neither. Wii U "screen pad" is a nosense for me, i like play looking Tv not my knees (but I'll probably buy it at the end, lol)

What if that ends up being the case? You have got to love all this reception towards the WiiU's power.

Nintendo pretty much fed us at the beggining of the gen how hardware power from last generation was all that was needed for the rest of eternity. The classic gameplay above all was used by gamers--Nintendo fans mostly--more than any generation before it. Untill of course some experiences arrive and show us that sometimes hardware can be a very important component of gameplay.

What I'm saying is, I hope you're right. What I'm also saying, is, that according to a lot of people if the WiiU ends up being another 2 gamecubes strapped together, again, it shouldn't be much of a problem, right? Why the furor about it then?

Here is what Sheep need to remember regarding Nintendo and the Zelda demo they showed.

Here is what Nintendo showed back in 2000 for the GC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtAvX4Pkyk

And here is what they came out with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1AVNa8q8T8

I guess those specs are plausible but I don't think Nintendo would include 1GB of VRam. Probably like 512MB. 8GB of flash storage seems about right. It sucks but that's probably the most likely route they will go.

And Wind Waker visually sh*ts all over that rigidly animated, low-poly crapfest that was a tech demo. I'm not sure what you were trying to prove. Plus it turned out to be a fantastic game.

That is true. N64 tech demo looked like a PS1 game.

Keep in mind the Wii U tech demos were thrown together in a short period of time.

I have to agree with 22Toothpicks.

In fact, I wouldn't mind if they had the balls to do that all over again. The CelShaded style of Wind Waker huddled with the graphical power of next generation would be awesome. Or, better yet, surprise us with something else.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"][QUOTE="fadersdream"] Why am I the only person not impressed with these jaggy lines, and outdated texture models? All I can think when I see this is "pretty good... for Nintendo" Nintendo only survives because people compare Nintendo to Nintendo, and that it's seen as Apples and Oranges to compare wii games to PS3/360 games.

It must suck worrying about graphics so much. There are so few games out there that look better than this.

Actually MOD I think the anti-graphics arguments are the weakest and most ignorant ones a person can make. They hold no water, and both the parties no it. Neither of us really believe you don't care about graphics, and neither of us believe your statement means that you appreciate gameplay solely. Obviously graphics are important and are a reflection of where a game is and where it should be. And it doesn't look that good, it's okay. Way better than Twilight Princess but it doesn't compare to Killzone or Gears of War and that is the scale that Nintendo is trying to step up to.

They rushed that tech demo and it's their first attempt at making a tech demo for a HD console.

There will be exactly three people who will get it because of power and that's AtariKidX, LoosingEnds and reach3.

All the others will get it because of the games.

Erm, no. Vigil (the people making Darksiders 2 on the WiiU right now) have said its just on par with current gen consoles. That is under par for a next gen one. Unless you define a next gen console being the same as current ones 'on par'.....lol.

Han Randhawa is the art director for Darksiders 2 and in this interview towards the end he said something that could be considered conflicting with another recent interview with Marvin Donald the director of Darksiders 2. Han Randhawa's direct quote: "There is not much I can really talk about right now, but I think that the Wii U is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more. So the Wii U team is doing very well, we've been working with Nintendo and I think it's going to be a very exciting version of Darksiders but we want to keep the overall theme relatively consistent." Whatever you say :)

1) Actually, no, it won't be a tiny bit more powerful than the 360. Sources prove you wrong. 2) The Wii is 3x stronger than the Xbox because the Wii uses the PowerPC Processor while the Xbox uses the Pentium 3 Processor.

There was the article stating that the 720 will only be 20% more powerful than the WiiU.

And then there is the article stating that the PS4 will only be on par with current gen.

Certainly looks like the giant leap in power that cows and lems are looking forward to: A slight step and not moving at all.

It's funny. When facts about the Wii U being more stronger than PS3/Xbox 360 pop up, PS/Xbox fanboys go: "It'll be much weaker than PS4/Xbox 720!", or "It won't be stronger than PS3/360."

When facts about PS4/Xbox 720 being not much stronger than Wii U pop up, it's: "Nuh uh, I don't wanna hear it!".
