Somehow, people have some kind of expectation that graphics engines that are being optimized for hardware ten times as powerful (I'm just spitballing, but considerably faster) as the Wii U will fit on the Nintendo console. This isn't news, but the fact that it's being reported (and re-reported) is blistering my mind.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Year 9 in Rainbow Six Siege brings Deimos, ACOG sights with new grips, and an interesting roadmap for the upcoming seasons.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a love letter for all Suikoden fans; it embraces the classic essence and doesn't succumb to modernity.
Wow, what a ridiculous article. Nobody ever said that they expect PS4 type visuals on the Wii U. But a game that releases on PS4 could also be released on the Wii U if the game engine that it is being developed for is scalable. In which case all the next gen engines are as they plan on releasing for as many consoles as possible and even mobile platforms.
Sure the Wii U version will look weaker in comparison, but naturally the hardware pushing the PS4/Nextbox is considerably more powerful than what is in the Wii U.
But that doesn't mean that games won't exist on all three platforms. What a dumb thing to suggest.
Well to be honest, neither do current gen games.. Why would nx gen games pop up on it all of a sudden? Even if theres a sales spike, by the time they get things moving, the games will be too graphically advanced
My solution:
Get a Wii U.
Get a PS4.
Get a Vita.
Add them to my 3DS and PC.
Throw petty fanboyism and brand loyalty out the freaking window.
Play and enjoy the games that I want.
Did the writer even hear that Activision and Starbreeze aren't showing off the Wii U versions of COD Ghosts and Wolfenstein because "we're not talking about the next-gen version, stay tuned" at all? While the Wii U won't be as powerful, it isn't as big a gap as Wii and it has a lot more functions and abilities than Wii did, with abilities developers need.
Not to mention Ubisoft saying they're focusing on the "Next gen" versions of Watch Dogs (PS4/Wii U) before 360/PS3
Meanwhile at Nintendo...
