I just checked out skyrim and was wondering, How good will it look on the wii U if this world display is on the 360.
I can already imagine switching weapons or casting spells from the controller on haveing the nunchuck as a shield and the wii mote as the sword kinda like skyword sword.

Well, I think it depends on when the release will be set for the wii-u. Since sky rim is coming in November, I'm not sure they will add it to the wii-u

Potentially, it could look anywhere from as good as the Xbox 360 version (if Bethesda doesn't bother to enhance the graphics for a Wii U version) to noticeably better. I see the Wii U as roughly capable of delivering PC-like graphics, due to all the additional optimization that is possible on a console.

I do hope that they actually make a Skyrim U. To my knowledge, Bethesda haven't confirmed that they're working on anything for the Wii U, only that they're interested in the platform. Inventory management with the touchscreen would be awesome. It would make the choice between that and the PC version a pretty difficult one...

I hate to say but unless you have a good reason for thinking that then no, you're not gonna get PC graphics on the Wii U

But I do have good reason for thinking that. Here's a video of Crysis running on a Radeon 4890 (a similar graphics card to what's ticking in the Wii U):



And remember, that's on a PC. With a console, it's possible to squeeze a lot more graphics out of similar hardware due to all the possible optimization, since everyone who plays the game will do so on an identical platform. So, logically, the Wii U's graphical potential is somewhat beyond what you see in that video.

Well, hadn't MW3 been confirmed for WiiU? That releases on November. They could still release Skyrim for WiiU as well.

Nope, MW3 will be only on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Don't forget that Wii U releases sometime next year after April. Usually companies don't release their game for a newer console after their new game has already been launched. So, to answer all of your questions, Skyrim and MW3 will probably not be on the Wii U. That would be up to the developer and Nintendo if they wanted to port it to the Wii U.

Some companies do that like EA with BattleField 3. It releases very soon and it will be made for the Wii U. Just give it time.

Mass Effect 2 came to the PS3 late with more content and my guess there going to have skyrim and oblivion bundle or there going to have exclisive content for the wii u version.

Bethesda does
Oblivion was released on Xbox360/Windows March 2006, but the PS3 version came out April 2007, with enhanced graphics.

skyrim is a 500 hour game so I dont see why not

[BazzDropperz]

Skyrim would be awesome on the Wii U! Though we still don't know what the first batch of games for the system will look like, so it's kind of hard to guess how improved the graphics would be if it was ported to the Wii U.

Desert Punk and Jikayaki, I've split your debate over the Xbox and the Wii off into its own topic. You may continue it there. Let's keep this thread about Skyrim, m'kay?

[lucario23]

Ok so I finally got a chance to see skyrim the other day and the wii u must absolutely get this game!! I think it could fill a void in the medieval RPG category and could be the nice long single player game like Twilight Princess was for the wii's launch. What do you guys think?

[Crackkat]

its certainly possible and bethesda said they are considering it, i hope it will sell despite coming out so much later than on other consoles, scratch that, it will sell well. so yh bring it on!!

[Link707]

If it does come it will probably be the game of the year edition. Hopefully they will have fixed the bugs by then

[MachineLaw]

If Arkham City is releasing (and I'm fully expecting to buy it on launch day since I've been holding for the Wii U version), it's totally possible that Skyrim also comes to the Wii U in a Game of the Year edition.

[lucario23]

Yeah, Arkham and Skyrim would be awesome! Fingers crossed for Battlefield also. But mostly Skyrim lol

[HaoSenVastForest]

GIVE ME GIVE ME GIVE ME!!!!!

[Bill Cipher]

I know Skyrim would sell, but I'm not even interested in Skyrim if it came to the WiiU. Why? I dislike everything about Skyrim, I don't like Betheseda's policy of releasing a game with massive, gamebreaking bugs on a system, and there are still bugs in Oblivion last time I checked. Betheseda's games can either get more time in bug checking or I don't want them on the console. Simple as that.

Also, WiiU does not need port's at Launch. That hurt the 3DS. We need original titles
