Why would I be shocked guys from Retro are happy with the Wii-U from developing ONLY on Wii? What exactly is the point you are trying to make?
He's basically saying that Retro's new game will be amazing.

Never said I didn't trust him, just saying it's raw numbers and he's not going to be putting them to use for the system.
And miss out on Miiverse features!?
We're experiencing flat out shameful, incompetent design. Decade-old hardware in a primarily $350 box is not necessary or even particularly beneficial in order to secure an aggressive profit margin, and having power trade-offs with the 360/PS3 architectures ensures bad press and unhappy port-buyers from the beginning, when upgraded current gen ports were very much part of the launch strategy. Fils-Aime has to run laughably dishonest damage control on a daily basis as part of this catastrophic failure to produce a technologically viable system -- again, at such a premium price point.
No worries, though. I'm sure soccer moms worldwide, with their iPads and Nexus 7s sitting on the coffee table, will be enthralled by the unique selling point of a living room tethered, two hour battery life, PDA-era resistive touch screen tablet controller.
At this point, Nintendo hardware is the pill I have to swallow to get to play some of my favourite games.

Yet those raw numbers are telling us what the console can do at best,
2. Just because the clock speed is lower doesn't make it garbage. That's like comparing a p4 with higher clock speeds to an i5 with lower clock speeds.
Sure, it plays PS3/360 games quite well, but what happens when the PS4 and Nextbox come out with even more CPU/GPU intensive games? The Wii U ports of current gen games haven't been all that wonderful.
I feel so old now, when I was 5 my Christmas present was the NES.
Passing the torch to new generations, love it!
You are an awful parent, how can you give him such a shitty console? :O :O :O
bad bad bad parent :O
:3
Background downloading.I understand what you are saying, but retro does not have to port games from other systems.
you're looking at this all wrong. see, you're used to driving a ferrari. sure it's fast, exciting and leaves you with a smile on your face - but have you never thought of buying a minivan? why tear up the strip at 100mph when you can instead enjoy the piercing odour of your kids shitting their pants on the back seat while screaming at tinnitus inducing decibel levels as you hit the five mile daily tailback on the between daycare and your ex-wife's boyfriend's house?
you're just out of touch is all.
Come on. You can downscale everything. In the end you're just painting polygons. You can also reduce enemies, going down with frame rate etc. Of course, it's effort, I haven't denied that. I just said the decision is just a financial one. I didn't even say they will decide the one way or the other. That's what you were just assuming. I'm not participating in fanboy wars if you hoped for that.What are you even talking about? Were talking engines, it's not just downscaling graphics. It's obvious UE4 is being pushed as the go to engine for next gen, and to keep development costs down it will probably be true. Third parties aren't going to waste the time, money and effort to retool a game to run on Wii-U.
And Nintendo knows this too, which is why Iwata can still read through threads like this while wringing his hands and muttering "good, good..."At this point, Nintendo hardware is the pill I have to swallow to get to play some of my favourite games.
Yet watch Nintendo still end up the market leader when all is said and done. At least on their consoles you can enjoy exclusive content.

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you don't own a Wii U, Evilore.

My five year old Mario loving son certainly will be when we open it on Christmas morning.
Yes, and make sure to make his Mii ahead of time... so the very first thing he see's when starting it up is himself in the middle of Mii Plaza and then the hundreds of other Miis running past him to gather around the game tiles.If I were giving a Wii U as a gift I'd prep it first.
Unbox, hook up, charge gamepad, do initial setup, download and install updates for all games, etc., then box it all back up. Once they open the wrapping paper it's ready to go.
Otherwise it's 1 PM on Christmas day and your impatient child is complaining that his new $350 toy isn't working and he doesn't want to go see Grandma until he plays Mario etc.

Uncharted, Infamous, God of War are not on PC. Nice try though, I'm sure Reggie has your check in the mail.

It will be, but that wasn't my point. My point was, world-class developers don't care about specs. It's about what they can do with the hardware. They don't whine and cry about a lack of "power", they just make something badass.

Hardware is the pill anyone has to swallow to play games. Who actually gets off on hardware except tech geeks? You can't play hardware.
if you have only have a nintendo console you sure as hell won't have a lot of great games

And people who just want to play and don't know/want to know nothing about the society should care because...?
The exclusive content is true for both ways, if you have only have a nintendo console you sure as hell won't have a lot of great games
I think drinky is broken.

The Wii U's GPU has been customized from its base, as even Arkam's info hints at. In addition, the eDRAM for the GPU alone will improve GPGPU functionality. Truth is that we don't know efficent the GPU is. If we look at clockspeeds, though, it is obvious the system is VERY GPU-focused, and it should be designed to tackle a lot of tasks that current-gen consoles weren't designed to do.Exactly. The GPU can't even make up for much cause its super bad too. I mean I have a better GPU in my year old laptop then the 4650.
