Shin’en praises Wii U hardware, suggests Wii re-releases in HD
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Shin’en boss Manfred Linzner has offered some high praise for the Wii U’s hardware.
In an interview with ONM, Linzner delivered encouraging sentiments that the console is easy to develop for and its power can be utilized properly. He said that the studio was able to easily run a fairly complex game world containing “thousands of animated objects”.
According to Linzner:
“The Wii U hardware has a great architecture and, most importantly, it is easy for developers to utilise its power. For instance, we have a very action-heavy game with literally thousands of animated objects, but had no problems rendering the complete gameworld, twice, for the Wii U controller display in two-player mode.”
Linzner later made a suggestion for Nintendo. He feels that the company should re-release Wii software for the new console in HD. These games, Linzer believes, “would look and play better than many current titles.”
“You could easily take many original Wii titles from Retro Studios or Nintendo and release them again in HD and they would look and play better than many current titles. I believe that the most important resource in game development is the developers, rather than the actual hardware.”
