Reggie Fils-Aime has opened up on the Wii U’s power… slightly. The Nintendo of America president commented on the console in an interview with Kotaku, which comes as part of a larger article about the hardware overall.
Reggie first pointed out the faults with the Wii, including the lack of HD support and limited online functionality. He noted that these issues have been fixed with its successor.
“…as third-party publishers make their decisions somehow they’re going to view competitive systems more favorably than the Wii U. What I would tell you is that, fundamentally, the reason certain games didn’t make it to the Wii was because, first, the developer or publisher had invested in art at an HD level. For them to rework that art to an SD level was a cost they were unwilling to accept. Second, that the online capabilities especially for in-game purchase, or things of that nature, [were things] they viewed it as a key part of their business model, which the Wii didn’t support. Looking to the future, both of those issues have been solved with the Wii U.”

That makes sense given what the Wii U GamePad and 3DS have to offer. Now we just need to see how the development team plans on taking advantage of these pieces of hardware.
