ummm All those game look like N64 games(one of which was a remake of a n64 game) but with the texture jitter of ps1. and PSP was about ps2 aka Dreamcast level.

The point I was trying to make earlier is that the DS isn't a small step up from the GBA, which was barely capable of 3D grapics (the only game I know that can do that is Spiderman 2).

Really now?



looks worse than this

Yes but that no reason to say it was dreamcast level when it was clearly far from it and much more around the power level of n64 and weaker .I mean that like me trying to say the PS2 graphics are close to xbox 360.

But it wasn't weaker than the N64 in terms of visuals. It was more in between N64 and Dreamcast.

I haven't seen one game I would consider better than the n64 now than some I would say on par but I feel your really overestimating the power of the DS. Note some games such as Metroid Prime Hunters may look better than what the N64 can do but that not the case its just Modern Game Design/Style on old hardware compared to Old game Design on Old hardware which is why Hunters may be consider better looking than most N64 games.

Here is specs :Note This site I feel might have had a bit of a bias for DS (It was from 2008) but like I said I will consider it Par but a bit weaker(not to say the DS doesn't have its advantages as well) but not superior note it does say the ds has a better framerate for most games but it could be related to developer inexperiance with 3D graphics at the time of N64.
Nintendo DS

• Main CPU: ARM 9, 67 MHz
• Secondary CPU: ARM 7, 33 MHz
• Memory: 4 MB main RAM, 656 kB VRAM
• Sound: ARM 7, 33 MHz
  
  • 16 simultaneous channels
  • stereo sound
• Graphical prestations/effects:
  
  • ARM 9
  • dual 256×192 screen resolution
  • solid 60fps

  • 262,144 colors
  • 4 million vertices/second
  • 30 million pixels/second fillrate
  • Cel-shading
  • Hardware fog

Nintendo 64:

• Main CPU: R4000, 93.75 MHz
• Secondary CPU: <unknown name>, 62.5 MHz
• RAM: 36 Mb (4.5MB) main RAM, 8.5MB with expansion pak
• Sound: <the unknown CPU>, 62.5 MHz
  
  • 16-24 channels OR
  • max. 100 simultaneous channels, though take 1% of the CPU each (developer’s choice)
  • Dolby Pro Logic (1, not 2) Surround sound
• Graphical prestations/effects:
  
  • <the CPU w/o name>
  • 256×224 or 640×480 screen resolution
  • lots of graphical sacrifice needed for a solid 60fps (like F-Zero X)
  • 32,000 colors on-screen
  • 150,000 polygons with all effects @ 60 fps (Nintendo says)
  • 100,000 ” ” ” ” ” ” (benchmark says)
  • unknown vertices and fillrate
  • hardware fog, bi- and trilinear filtering

But I feel We will never know what system could do the best graphics as both are dead one much longer than the other one .

I like your optimisum, I'm hoping for this too, fingers crossed.



Yeah I suppose, everything is worth a try though



Yeah I was mostly expecting a automated response like "we do not comment on romours or speculation" so it was a nice touch to have an actual human being reply to me



I agree somwhat too, they can get very sloppy with thier PC ports, it's not just the Wii U players I feel sorry for it's the PC players too, don't get me wrong GTA V is awsome but the announcment lacked two platforms, developers gotta realise, people who have a Wii U want thier games, not everyone has a PS360 anymore, and I can't see PS4 720 selling as well as thier previous consoles.

Learn out to spell "exited" it is spelt "excited".... I HATE TYPOS!

[Colinx]

They may be waiting to see how the Wii U sells first.

Bit of useless info for ya, but about 2 days ago I e-mailed Rockstar Support on GTA V for Wii U and they just replied back to me, here is the proceeding conversation:


Peter H******, Oct 31 01:38 am (EDT):

Hi guys, I know that GTA V was announced for Spring 2013 today, and the
platforms are PS3 and Xbox 360, But I was wondering are you considering a
Wii U version at all? You see I'm getting a Wii U and I have sold my Xbox
360. I completely love all of your games deeply and I have been exited
about GTA V since it was announced last year, please consider a Wii U
version, Wii U is selling like hot cakes, as a matter of fact they are
fully sold out everywhere from what I can gather, GTA V is going to be one
of the best games ever and I really want to experience it fully. So my main
question, is a Wii U version possible?

kindest Regards:

Peter.


James M, Nov 01 10:15 pm (EDT):

Hey Peter,
Thanks for contacting R* Technical Support.
I'm not sure if we have that information as of yet. But I don't think that the game was developed to run on the Wii U, so I'm guessing that it will not be available for the Wii U, but I am not 100% sure. I would suggest waiting for a bit and see if they make any later announcements. As you said, the release was just announced today, so there is a chance that they will announce it on more platforms in the future.
Have a great day,

James M.



As you can see, not much, but what are your thoughts on what he said, me I'm taking his advice and I'm gonna sit tight for a bit and keep my fingers crossed.

I think we should all send Rockstar this email, change some of the wording so its not an exact copy of it, so they know there are tons of potentially missed sales if its not released on the U. if thats ok with the OP? i know im gonna send it in a bit.

EDIT: Heres what i sent them just now.

You barely re-worded that at all...

You're going to annoy Rockstar with your spam and then they just wont port it out of spite.

[Hunter]

Jesus, some people need to learn to construct sentences properly.

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

I've learned to lower my hopes, BUT can I have that email? I plan to send them a "strongly worded letter" lol

Yeah I don't mind, the more who send e-mails the better right, online petition anyone?

My thoughts exactly

[scotty79]

let it go lol dont do it to yourself!!

Hoping nintendo have more joy convincing konami to bring ground zero

[Spleenzorio]

So if everyone copies this email like backudog did, Rockstar is gunna get lots of emails consisting of super bad grammar, people selling their Xbox 360, and confessing their love for their games but now have no way to continue playing them since they sold their Xbox. Derp!

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

[Spleenzorio]

Hey, that's not very nice.

I wasn't trying to be nice . I'm just saying write your own email if it means so much to you, otherwise it just looks like you don't care enough so you are just copying everyone else.

[xile6]

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

why not?
They make all the handheld gta for the ds. SO i dont see why the wouldnt port it to the wii u a yr or so later.

The DS only had 1 handheld GTA and Rockstar hasn't been known for good Nintendo home console support so at the moment I feel theirs only a 30 to 40 percent chance of it coming .
