The Wii U has been released 6 months ago and I have yet to see anyy game  out or announced that look better than GeOW 3, UC 2/3, and just about every high end ps3/360 game. I really want to like the Wii U, but I just cant fathom buying a last gen system at a premium. When the Wii U shows a clear advantage over those consoles, my interest will go up.

Since the Wii U advantage is fairly minimal doubt certain individuals will ever admit its superior.

The games you are comparing were developed way after launch. The Wii u games years from now will look slightly better than those games.

Nintendo has gone down the path of not needing to "wow' everyone. They will stick with what people want.

Wii U is the only system I would consider getting this gen.

It will give the machine time. Nintendo is by my estimation the only system worthy of my dollars. No online fee, backwards compatible, new ways of playing. Graphics and specs are just that, I prefer clear crisp art design as opposed to how real we can make it look. It's all relative and subjective.

This. Bayonetta 2 looks significantly better than the first as well. I'm not expecting a huge jump visually but I think Wii U gets put down a lot and is more capable than people think.

Yea right. Microsoft and Sony are not even in competition with Nintendo. Nintendo is after the lil kids and nintendo geek fanclub. Show me any proof the WiiU is more powerful then the xbox 360 or playstation 3. I have seen 0 evidence of this

The Wii U has been released 6 months ago and I have yet to see anyy game  out or announced that look better than GeOW 3, UC 2/3, and just about every high end ps3/360 game. I really want to like the Wii U, but I just cant fathom buying a last gen system at a premium. When the Wii U shows a clear advantage over those consoles, my interest will go up.

if ur interested in graphcis rather than fun factor and gameplay. even next gen consoles are useless, go get a high end pc

Probably never cuz developers have 7-8 years experience with X360 and PS4. By the time the few devs making Wii U games get good at it nobody will care because PS4 and Xbox One will be out.

It has nothing over last gen, heck, even the Wii has better titles than it so far.
Even for a Nintendo fan, that is hard to deny.

So forget about Xbox One, PS4 and next Gen games, it has still yet to beat Wii, PS3, 360.

Neither can you process word documents or use CS5 on a console. A PC has more uses for creating than any console can claim.

I agree with you... thing is, there will be many GREAT games available on XB1, PS4 & PC that the Wii U won't get.

I have a Wii U already, will get a PS4 and always have a semi-current gaming PC. I can't imagine going without Nintendo's 1st party IPs... but I can't imagine only having them to play as well.

Nintendo is dead to me.

I was the biggest nintendo fanboy back in the snes/n64 days. They have focused away from the core gamer and don't have strong 3rd party support.  The Wii will be my last nintendo purchase ever.

I get where you are coming from too. For me it's enough along with Steam of course. People have preference it's ok, from what I gather most here have problem with that. For me graphics and specs are just not what I consider to be the end all be all. I focus on gameplay, fun, accessibility, etc.

He means launch to date, so the first 7 months. 

It's a tight race for me. Alot depends on how you define Twilight Princess, is it merely a nice addition due to being a port, or does it count as a megaton release? I don't have an answer for that.

Not a chance. Mario Kart is maybe the most hardcore racer out there. The community is extremely dedicated. The blue shell, in a match with skilled players, didn't even mean to much anyways.

In MK7 you can either avoid it entirely or mitigate most of the damage

It rarely decides a game, but can happen, although it evens out in the long run (win some, loose some).

The competitive metagame is incredible. MK7 is just perfect. I hope they can adapt this new formula in a 12 player environment and still maintain the same level of balance.

It's all about taking into account the items all the other players have in correlation to what lap it is, and the competition at hand. MK7 was great. The one thing I didn't care for was the big-wheeled racers being unbalanced for tIme trials--that should be fixed.

X & Mario Kart 8.

Better draw-distances, more foilage & better lighting than current-gen consoles.

It's not a massive difference tho.

Next Zelda and Metroid should look spectacular too. (if they go for realistic styles)

Zelda.

Too many fanboys going "Nintendo sux, WiiUdead, no graphics..."

Shut it.  The Wii U is superior over the current gen, and when Nintendo decides, it will show the game that is clearly above the current gen.

I will venture a guess, Zelda.  Mario Galaxy showed the Wii's capabilities last gen (too bad few other games did), and another first party title will too for the Wii U.

Wiiu can't show superiority over the last gen consoles,PS3/XBOX360,because WiiU is last gen console and the WiiU CPU is weaker than the xenon and teh CELL. .......and we will not see anything on the WiiU that the PS3/XBOX360 can't do.And this is the end of the story.
