All I'm saying is we have new hardware but they have to find a way to make things work. I'm still getting it day one but don't like the sounds of what I'm hearing.

You guys still aren't getting it. He isn't just saying it runs at a lower speed.he saying they have to find ways to make the game run efficiently trying to get around things the CPU "can't" do. Man just disappointing.

My problem isn't the low clock speed. Its his tone as if they are having to work harder making the game on the Wii U than current gen. This WILL become a problem just watch. This will be a excuse for devs to not port next gen

Wait. What other issues did Harada mention besides power consumption and time? The article didn't look that bad since Harada later said he didn't have a hard time getting Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to work on the Wii U. He admits that isn't far behind its 360/PS3 brethren, which doesn't lend much concerns about the Wii U's hardware if he can figure it out (as well as developers like Vigil Games, Rocksteady, and Gearbox). Otherwise, clockspeed still seems to be the issue because I didn't see Harada specify anything else.

#23277 E3 2012... im a little worries.

Posted by Biohazard on 22 August 2011 - 03:57 AM in Wii U Hardware

you guys are clueless!

Even if Microsoft unveils a console that dwarfs the Wii U in tech, the pricing, quality of titles, and sales are the real factors to its performance. Keep in mind, Microsoft (as well as Sony) tends to over-market their products, and their fanboys will always it up, rub it in everyone's faces, and declare it to be the equivalent of the cure for AIDS. History has shown that powerful consoles don't always win out. Take a look at the PSP and the PS3. When these platforms were unveiled, everybody hyped them to the second coming of Christ! However, when they launched, it was a whole other story. So even if Microsoft makes a huge splash at E3 2012, it will only be short-term. Once all the next-gen consoles are on the shelf, E3 2012, like the past E3 events, will be nothing more than a distant memory. We will all look at E3 2012 compared to how the Xbox 720 actually does with such amusement and derision in how we bought into the over-hype.

Seriously, tech seems to be the only concern instead of the quality of the games. Might I suggest upgrading your PC? It's always light-years ahead of consoles.

#23323 is nintendo being cheap?

Posted by Biohazard on 22 August 2011 - 10:08 AM in Wii U Hardware

Nintendo DO make games consoles, but all im saying is in the future people will want less clutter and gadgets will have to do more than one job. Nintendo will have to address that and come up with a new way to get into peoples homes that takes up less space, how long do u think it will be before dvds n blu rays will be gone and we download all our entertainment? Not long, and video games will go the same way. Do u not agree?

A basic entertainment setup consists of a television set (LCD/LED/Plasma HDTV's), a DVD/Blu-Ray player, and a gaming console. How is that cluttered? Do you think the Wii U should also be an AV reciever?

funny to me now that there are reports of the Wii U dev kits having problems... why you might ask because of Nintendo using CHEAP PARTS! so i guess it is what it is.

That was a long time ago. The developers were using unfinished and underclocked kits. If you were talking about the 001.net rumor, the problems stem from the controller, not the overall hardware! It's still going through prototype phases and we are still eons away from its projected release! Besides, all consoles use relatively cheap and outdated hardware, anyway. The Xbox 360's and PS3's hardware used 5-6 year old graphics cards. Like I mentioned before, switch to PC if you're so damned concerned about tech!

#86045 Wiiu Cpu just as powerful as the ps3-360 and its Gpu 1.5 x stronger? (Please no)

Posted by Biohazard on 09 June 2012 - 09:28 AM in Wii U Hardware

I did try and warn ye some 6 months that the Wii U would be similar to the current consoles. One of the few things that we did learn last year was that the CPU was going to be 45nm based chip which told me that Nintendo weren't going to be very aggressive with the hardware. Nearly everything we have heard, and now seen from games at the E3, has pointed towards that.

Perhaps you missed the entire conversation. The specs are based off of older dev kits which are similar to 360/PS3 in spec. The Wii U demos that were shown were most likely running on them based off of the fact that most of them still had the Wii U gamepad still tethered and no cables were connected to the console. It's not far-fetched that Nintendo would show Wii U games in its early form, as Microsoft did the same back in E3 2005 where the Xbox 360 games weren't running off of the hardware. They ran on Powermac G5's, and the console launched in November 2005.

#21498 Wii U's Rejection.

Posted by Biohazard on 14 August 2011 - 10:15 AM in Wii U Games and Software

For all the naive people (and thats alot!), i think its pretty much about image. I dont really think nintendo helps the wiiU by making it seem casual and childish (plastic white and still having wii in the name, WII LOOKING CONSOLE?), why cant it have an cool image? (stylish black and awesome name etc?, i mean if nintendo doesnt launch some cool commercials, everyone expect nintyfans will believe its just an upgraded wii (like the ds to 3ds, everyone believes its an dsi with 3d). And guess what? Its almost too late (i believe), many people already believes that the wiiu is just and expansion controller for the wii (i didnt see a console in the e3 video :-/ )

The plastic white design has a sleek and universal appeal, not "childish". The casual look helped the Wii shake off gamers' memories of the GameCube's "toyish" look, which made it easy for Nintendo market the console to a wide audience. Why abandon it with the Wii U? You seem to forget that Nintendo has always offered variety of colors with their consoles and handhelds, including the Wii. The Wii U will eventually have a black finish if the console stays throughout its lifespan.

As for the the Wii U, it has an all-new controller, and Nintendo plans to recapture the hardcore market that they have been criticized for abandoning throughout the Wii's lifespan. And, no, it's not too late! None of us know anything else beyond the controller. The console won't be released until after April 2012 (with Holidays being an ideal time), so Nintendo has plenty of time to market the console.

#19141 Wii U's Rejection.

Posted by Biohazard on 05 August 2011 - 05:33 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Given what we know about the Wii U, I don't know if I should be worried about the system or not. The E3 2011 unveiling basically offered a cursory idea of where Nintendo is taking the console. I doubt Batman: Arkham City, Darksiders II, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Ninja Gaiden III, and Metro: Last Light are the only titles in the pipeline. Keep in mind, Ubisoft is possibly creating an all-new Assassin's Creed title. As for Nintendo heavily relying on third-parties to carry the Wii U, they may have decided to contribute more input for the system after seeing how that strategy for the 3DS backfired. Nintendo has been very aware of their mistakes in the past few months, so I don't think it's a stretch to think they may have re-evaluated their strategy for the Wii U. After all, Pikmin 3 could very well spearhead the launch since Miyamoto stated it's been making a lot of progress. The Wii U will not launch until after April 2012, which means Nintendo has plenty of time to effectively market the console before the release date.

Activision just announced the Wii version (not Wii U).

Ah, oh well but there's still hope for a Wii U version.

An all-new Call of Duty title when Activision decides its time to innovate the series sounds more preferable for me. If there ever will be a Wii U version, they better release them in one of those collection packs (Modern Warfare trilogy). There's no doubt that Activision will do it. Bobby Kotick really needs to fill his swimming pool of money to go skinny dipping in.

#17627 COD MW3 Wii U

Posted by Biohazard on 31 July 2011 - 01:43 PM in Wii U Games and Software

While I do agree that the series has gotten gradually stale (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was very well-received by gamers), I am willing to try out Modern Warfare 3. There hasn't been any significant innovation to the franchise, but I can always count on the series to deliver entertaining popcorn-style action. As for Modern Warfare 3 heading for the Wii U, I would prefer an all-new game when Activision realizes it's time to change the formula for the series. But if they want to expand its audience, I would like some sort of a collection pack, containing all three Modern Warfare games, for the Wii U.
