The Xbox One and Playstation 4 have been quick to pounce on the MMO genre during E3 but there's a third console in the next-generation race that many already consider to be a total fail. Despite the fact the Wii U is yet to release any real titles on their best IP's there's other avenues available to Nintendo's next-gen console.
It doesn't have the horsepower for a Cryengine MMO. Who writes this crap? Its more likely to be another F2P offering on PS4/ X1.
As awesome as it sounds I don't think it will sell the system outside of japan...
Processors
Main article: Espresso (microprocessor)
CPU: IBM PowerPC 750-based tri-core processor "Espresso"[3] clocked at 1.24 GHz.[81]
GPU: AMD Radeon High Definition[3] processor codenamed "Latte" with an eDRAM cache built onto the die[82] clocked at 550 MHz.[81]
The Wii U CPU is designed by IBM. It is described by IBM as an "all-new, Power-based microprocessor",[83] the processor is a multi-core design manufactured at 45 nm with an eDRAM cache. Neither Nintendo nor IBM has revealed detailed specifications, such as the number of cores, clock rate, or cache sizes. References have been made to the chip containing "a lot" of eDRAM and "the same processor technology found in Watson".[84] The Wii U CPU is produced by IBM at their 300 mm semiconductor manufacturing facility in East Fishkill, New York.[83] Both the CPU and the GPU are on one MCM.[82]
RAM
2 GB total, consisting of four 512 MB (4 Gb) DDR3-1600 DRAM chips at 12.8 GB/s total bandwidth, with 1 GB reserved for the operating system and unavailable to games[85] from wiki, personally i think this game would run
Would love to see this game on the Wii U but it's highly unlikely. I would welcome MH4 or the MMO for the Wii U but seeing as MH3 was only released a couple of months back this won't be happening any time soon.
Would be great if Capcom were working on a Wii U specific Monster Hunter title rather than a port, seeing the X game in action just makes me wish Monster Hunter was going to evolve in that direction.
Isn't this game being made on PC as well? I so it will do a lot better on the PC space in my opinion than it would on a console. Either way it will not sell the system outside of Japan.
