Wait, what?! :blink:
Hell no! I really think WiiU will not have the 3rd party support!
But even worse, because now it won't have the support of casual gamers, and will fail harder than ever! B-)
I was talking about how people accused you of being off topic, and then you went on a tangent about Hitler. :P

1)Wii U launch games to only support 720p
>Has nothing to do with how 3rd party will be. Since, you know from history, launch games doesn't equal
later on games.

2) Why are you comparing one point of Nintendo history and not the whole thing? This point could be a repeat of the snes.

1) WiiU launching games at 720p and being 50% more powerfull than PS3 is the same as Wii was to GC and probably being the dark horse compared to it's concurrents!

2) SNES had a worse CPU than Genesis, but had better GPU and sound card, that made a lot of multiplat games look better on it!
Never you could run Donkey Kong Country on Genesis!

Let's say I went on tangent to show the connection between both!
At least it was my proposal! :D

Not these bugs. This is not that off-topic!
It has to do with third party support, and already know what happened to Wii.
Then we can compare Wii history to what we believe will happen to WiiU, since history is repeating itself.

This is a lesson that history teached us, and it may change the way you think!
Napoleon tried to invade Russia, this was the beginning of the end for his empire!
Russia retroceded, and Napoleon's army wasn't prepared to the cold wether from Russia!
Soldiers were dying from hypothermia and hungriness!
From 400,000 soldiers, 40,000 were able to cross Berezina River!
Napoleon army had to give up from Russia and lost a lot of resources and people in that attempt!

Hitler tried the same!
And the same happened!

If in 129 years, history repeated itself, how can we be sure it won't happen again?
I guess you understand now what's the connection, don't you?
God, you're so stupid.

The reason the Wii didn't get ports were due to two reasons,
  • Incompatible architectures (fixed-function GPU without modern shader tech)
  • Controls (Can't just quickly bring over a game, have to adapt it to the Wiimote + Nunchuk)
No, it wasn't just because of the raw power. I guarantee you that if the Wii had the required GPU feature-set, there would have been some devs that would have brought over their games.



The Wii U is confirmed to have the necessary feature-set (DX10.1/11) and the controller has all the inputs of a traditional controller. Most devs should be bringing over the games as there aren't as many issues preventing them and it makes sense for publishers, financially. There is no way that this could be another Wii situation.

And what the fuck does the Wii U have to do with Hitler?

What you're missing is that the Wii U is much more POWERFUL than that. It CAN do 1080p, it's just not doing that for its launch games. the Wii being 50% more powerful than the gamecube was as good as it could do, which is a completely different problem.

I don't know VMM... My Sources say otherwise...
ROFL

Haha, I figured that. But it was still hilarious :rofl2:

Since we've gone off topic here, I'll point out that it isn't only power that drives 3rd-party support. Ease of development is a major factor, and many devs have already concluded the WiiU to have such an attribute.
Have you forgotten about the PS3? That was a difficult system to develop for (especially in the early years with little documentation) yet it still got third-party support.

Not saying ease of development is the only factor. I did suggest power too.

1) Look at 360 launch titles then look now and see what I mean.
That and again, we don't have a confirmation of the wii u power.

2)You can get technical if you want, but that still doesn't mean wii u can't be the new snes.

You didn't undestand the comparison and then accuse me of being stupid, oh the irony! :P
WiiU will support DX11, so what? It still does not support Unreal Engine 4!

Tell me, how will the devs port a game using unreal engine 4 to WiiU?
Incompatible architetures, ok, tell me why you're so sure that there won't be it from a gpu of two years ago to a GPU that does not even exist and will be used at 2016?

Dude, Unreal 4 was practically confirmed for the Wii U... did you miss that bit of news a week or 2 ago? Unreal 4 will support all platforms, from smartphones to consoles, and as a result, Wii U. Even the 360 and PS3 can likely support it.

Or maybe your comparison was just stupid?

Where did you hear that it won't support UE4? That wasn't confirmed. Even if it doesn't, UE4 has a light version which will be supported on all platforms meaning that devs can use that to port games to the Wii U.

And why are you even getting into hypotheticals?

The Wii's AMD/ATI GPU has a lot of potential, very few if any 3rd parties ever took full advantage of it; it's a very capable GPU, it's just there are too many lazy programmers out there. Would it ever reach Xbox 360/PS3 levels? Of course not, but it could most certain match the original Xbox, heck, even the Gamecube's hardware was on par with that console.
