Pikmin 3 wasn't built from the ground up on the Wii U. It is essentially a pretty Wii game.

Really, that's interesting. 

It suggests that there is still plenty more power to be used. 

As I said in my first message, I'm not judging the game by graphics, I just wanted to talk purely about graphics.

I agree the floor textures are sometimes disappointing. I think they are only noticeable because the rest looks so great.

It's been about 9 months since the launch and Pikmen 3 was specifically designed for the system and nothing else, so it's an interesting indicator of what the Wii U is capable of.

I'm unimpressed by the lack of BBC iplayer. 

 

So you believe there is no games then you list them off???

I didn't say I believe there are no games, just that there is a notion that there aren't any games for the Wii U

I'm very pleased with the amount of big titles announced. Once the advertising is rolled out the Wii U could be right back in the game. 

First it's too expensive and now it's too cheep.....

This seems to be a UK thing and probably reflects our collapsing economy after 'austerity measures'. Basically the UK economy has flat lined for a few years and a Next Gen Console is low down on our essentials. Supermarkets are probably clearing stock as they only deal in big selling videogames they can sell to Mums and HMV were insolvent when they slashed their prices. 

Should the Wii U start selling serious amounts soon then I'm sure they'll be restocked.
