PS4/Xbox One/Wii U comparison chart
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
All three consoles are now out out in the wild. With this week’s announcement of the Xbox One, we can finally see how all next-gen systems stack up against each other.
IGN compiled a handy chart comparing the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. Technical points are included, but the chart also covers categories such as game installs, used game fees, motion control inputs, and more.
Wii U appears to be getting Batman: Arkham Origins Deathstroke DLC after all
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Despite initial concerns, it looks like Batman: Arkham Origins’ Deathstroke pre-order DLC will be available on the Wii U after all.
Amazon’s product page
mentions the bonus as well as the previous $10 credit offer. GameStop’s listing is missing the Deathstroke item, but the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 pages showcase an image that includes the Wii U version (see above).
We did contact Warner Bros. a few days back to receive some clarity about the situation, but never heard back. But now that we’re getting signs from retailers that the Wii U will have access to the Deathstroke pre-order DLC, there isn’t as much cause for concern.
Shin’en sticks up for Wii U hardware
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
It’s safe to say that the folks at Shin’en are technical geniuses. They’ve consistently managed to get the most out of Nintendo systems, even when difficult limits have been in place – like WiiWare’s 40MB cap.
While the Wii U has been lambasted for its low power compared to other next-gen systems, Shin’en feels that what Nintendo’s console offers is quite enough – especially compared to Wii. Shin’en Multimedia art director Martin Sauter told GameReactor in a new interview that instead of focusing on power, “we need better games.”
Sauter said:
Of course the Wii U is not the big leap hardware power-wise but it is a big leap to the Wii and to be honest I think we’ve reached a point where we don’t need so much more hardware power – we need better games. For every game you can make it look so good that it’s good enough for everybody and I think the Wii U is a good compromise between price point – because don’t forget you have a tablet controller, you have a great hardware base and it’s much better than everybody reads. It’s better than Xbox – sorry, it is better – and you can squeeze lots out of it, but you have to really work hard on it and I think you can make great games with it.
I’m not sure if a much more powerful PS4 will produce much better looking games. We’ve reached a point where good games will sell and I think the steps will be much much smaller in the next generation.
Conker designer seems to have plans for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Chris Seavor, designer of the Conker games, may have something in store for Wii U. Seavor tweeted about the console today, noting how his new indie studio Gory Detail Limited will need more dev kits.
He teased:
…..WiiU devkits ain’t cheap and it’s lookin likely @gorydetail is gonna need 3 at some point this year 😉 (that’s top secret btw) heh!
— Christopher Seavor (@conkerhimself) May 25, 2013
Gory Detail is working on a brand new project: Parashoot Stan. Could we see this title on Wii U? Or perhaps something else for the console?

Resident Evil: Revelations comparisons, performance analyzed
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Digital Foundry is back with another comparison of a recently released multiplatform game: Resident Evil: Revelations.
Revelations appears to be the worst on Wii U out of all HD versions from a technical standpoint. Digital Foundry concludes that on Wii U, the title suffers from a “more erratic performance” and “less precise controls”. Still, “Revelations is still well worth buying on the Wii U”, Digital Foundry says.
You can find a few video comparisons of all versions below. Be sure to check out the full piece here, which also covers the impressiveness of the 3DS version.
Become a pedestrian in Watch_Dogs through new contest
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Ubisoft is running a contest for Watch_Dogs that will allow fans to get into the game as pedestrians.
15 randomly chosen players will be selected for a drawing. Your information will be entered, but winners won’t have their looks represented.
Fans can sign up for the contest on Facebook here. A Facebook account is obviously required, as is a Uplay account. You also need to be over 18 and be a resident in the US. Those who enter will be asked to enter their name, birthdate, occupation, and three interesting facts about themselves.
The contest ends on June 8. Ubisoft will notify winners on June 17, and will then highlight the 15 profiles on the official Watch_Dogs page. Another 50 winners will earn exclusive Watch_Dogs wallpapers early and have their information used in a number of promotions.
