Nintendo’s next generation hardware will be roughly twice as powerful as Microsoft’s current system, the Xbox 360, according to a studio source speaking to Develop.
Here's what it's like to buy a used Wii U in 2023.
I'm tempted just because I missed out on xenoblade chronicles x. But it's a big waste for just one game
I bought a Wii-U last year due to the fact that the Wii Punch-Out for some reason has not been ported to the Switch, which is odd since almost all of the Punch-Out games, arcade included are available for the Switch.
The Wii U was an abject failure, but sometimes even failures are worthwhile (if still expensive) learning experiences.
From giant crabs to surprise launches to weird-looking tablets, these console launches were...yeah.
Yet they all turned out to be great systems with lots of gems, except for Jaguar. Wii U was a criminally underrated system. The Gamepad implementation of Zelda Twilight Princess was incredible! I was so disappointed they removed it altogether for Breath of the Wild because they wanted "parity" with the Switch version. Its a shame and it was a lame excuse.
You can tell BotW was designed around the gamepad usage, with all that menu navigation. That item management and weapon switching would have been 100x better with the gamepad. The worst part was they never let the wii U players know they were removing it! I got the game for Wii U at launch and was disappointed it wasnt there.
PS3 was a mess at first but what a turnaround! That was a crazy generation. Uncharted 1,2,3, Infamous 1 & 2, God of War 3, Last of Us, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank series, Little Big Planet, Modnation Racers, Killzone, Resistance. My god they were so on point later in that generation it was crazy!
PS3 had a buggered up launch but Sony was able to turn things around with the PS3. I still say the XB360 had a terrible launch half the systems cooked themselves and the RROD would appear. Then the 3DO, CDI, Pippin, the Amiga, 32X the list can go on and on with systems with terrible launches.
Which means you still getting hardware that was good around 2008 for premium price
Questions:
Who?
What dev kit?
How are the metrics calculated?
this unknown random site makes random claims from an unknown dev. lol yeah that sure is credible. all the proof i need.
Which means, Wii U is as powerful as the PS3.
New Xbox is rumored to be six times more powerful than the 360. So what you're telling me is that Nintendo's next gen system will once again be considered last gen quality in a few short years? Nice....
