The latest report in the Wii U power saga comes from GamesIndustry, who was collected a number of quotes from unnamed developers. Two of these folks are in agreement when they say that the Wii U isn’t as powerful as the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

One developer said:

“No, it’s not up to the same level as the PS3 or the 360. The graphics are just not as powerful.”

A second developer echoed the same thoughts. The person below believes that the console “just can’t quite keep up” even though “some things are better, mostly as a result of it being a more modern design.”

“Yeah, that’s true. It doesn’t produce graphics as well as the PS3 or the 360. There aren’t as many shaders, it’s not as capable. Sure, some things are better, mostly as a result of it being a more modern design. But overall the Wii U just can’t quite keep up.”

A third source has weighed in on the Wii U’s controller, expressing some concern:

“The whole thing about the tablet controller is that you only get one of them, and you can only use one and it’s not completely independent. The base console has to be on, and you have to be in range. Other controllers are just Wiimotes, or other Wii controllers. They may change the form factor or looks a bit, but it’s the same controller.”

I think it’d be best to take this with a grain of salt. We simply don’t know who these developers/sources are, are there have been a number of contradictory statements that conflict with this report.

Did you know that Google and Square Enix collaborated on the “8-Bit Map” April Fools’ joke? Yes, it’s true!

Although Google was the “brain” behind the idea, Square Enix was more than happy to assist them in making the map.

According to a U.S. Square Enix representative:

“It was a collaborative effort between Square Enix and Google. Google came up with the idea, then we provided the assets and helped them to create the map.”

Pokemon Smash is lining up the next two weeks with a bunch of Pokemon Black/White 2 content.

News was already expected for this week’s show. Now Terebi TV Game magazine says that the games will be present on the April 15 episode as well. The publication wrote that the Pokemon Smash cast members will have a chance to experience Black/White 2, so we can only hope that video footage will be included.

The fun begins this Saturday (that’s Sunday in Japan)…

2nd April 2012 – Today heralds the launch of a UK-wide 3D photography competition, which will see you put your creative camera skills to the test in a bid to become the UK’s Nintendo 3DS photography champion.

Competition entries are split into six dedicated categories, so no matter what you love to shoot, there’s a theme to suit you. The categories include: Animals, People, Places, Objects, Nature and Augmented Reality, which fully utilises the Augmented Reality features of the Nintendo 3DS system. The photo entries will be judged by an expert panel, including Lauren Jarvis, editor of National Geographic Kids magazine, and Dr Michael Pritchard, Director General at the RPS. The most promising photographer will win the top prize of a trip for two to Paris and a photography masterclass, while lucky runners-up will be awarded Nintendo goodies in recognition of their skill.
