All The Wii U Specs You Could Dream Of, Except The Ones You Really Want To Know

Kotaku - Way back when the Wii U first came out, lo in the day of the 18th of November in the year 2012, Nintendo's console included the most curious thing: a virtual instruction manual that included within it an option called "product specifications."

Nintendo is hell-bent on hiding these specs.

who gives a damn about the specs of nintendo systems? Their games are what matters most & there isnt any system sellers yet.. I bet PS4/720 will be nearing launch before nintendos heavy hitters come around...

Who? Developers who have been expressing that they are unhappy with the current specs of consoles for the last 2 or so years.

It's not just about being 'pwetty'....specs are about limitations and what developers can create.

Lazyeye794161d ago

It seems to me that the only reason not to ever mention the specs is, because they aren't much better than 6-7 year old tech and Nintendo is embarrassed of them. If they were truly great Nintendo would want to flaunt them about.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
