If it's not at least 5-10 times more powerful than current modern consoles I'll not even bother looking at it.

Was going to post that very comment!

Seems like a popular week for releasing consoles, with the PS3 and Wii being within a couple days of that back in 2006.

Yup.

Also, no, it's not going to have good games at launch. Guaranteed.

We don't know enough(read: don't know what are facts and what aren't) regarding the new Sony and Microsoft ones, so can't say yet.

I thought you could use the classic controller as well. Did they change that?

You and Vlado should go out on a date. You could cuddle up by the fire and burn Nintendo posters together.

just want some fun games

considering the new controller looks better than the wiimote, this feels like an improvement

that whole article was shady. It's easy to assume he just had an earlier model dev kit when nintendo was purposely holding back the full potential of the machine, but then you read his quotes and he says things like, "the graphics aren't as powerful"

What kind of developer talks about the power of a console like they're a 13 year old? Along with the other credible devs/sources that have confirmed it's more powerful, this "source" is full of BS

Yeah, I don't see why anybody would take this "anonymous dev" at his word and completely ignore every other dev that are confirmed to be working on the system saying the complete opposite.

here's a basic summary of what's been put together based on various developer quotes and leaks from credible neogaffers. Obviously not to be taken as 100% truth but might give a good indication of what to expect

Controller is definitely 480p definition (ie 480x640 most likely)
System can output 720p and 1080p, but the games that use the tablet for graphical intensive features (such as showing 3D action from a different perspective) limit the max resolution to just 720p. Supposedly this is very fluid (60fps?)

Finally, there are games that use the tablet even at 1080p, but much simpler in scale.

Oh, and the system is definitely more powerful than PS3/360... and could run all their games at better framerates + resolutions had it not been for the tablet controller.

So, we have confirmation that the tablet controller has no CPU of its own. Which means it will actually draw us back in terms of graphical output since the Wii U CPU has to do both jobs (and often has to render the same 3D scenes twice or from different perspectives).

In other words, don't expect 1080p at 60fps with the tablet.

But there is plenty of hope for Wii Remote games (ie no tablet) at 1080p 60fps.

Yeah, I was thinking about that... If the tablet controller is a drain on resources, don't use it. Of course, your Zeldas and such will almost certainly require it.

That's interesting, so perhaps they meant that the graphics suffer because of the tablet despite being more powerful?
