SEGA - We wouldn't be bringing Aliens: Colonial Marines to Wii U if it was inferior to current-gen

“Nintendo… has to release hardware that’s of the expectations of the gamer today. “… I don’t think we would be bringing the game to a system that would be inferior to current gen. (HD) systems.” - Craig Harris, SEGA

Yes, the same Craig Harris that used to work at IGN. He knows a thing or two about Nintendo. These are the kind of positive statements we want to hear!

Wii U not inferior to current gen confirmed?

[Darth Vader]

Even Nintendo wouldn't do such a thing. They're not insane.

[Storm101]

More powerful than the PS3/360? I thought that would've been a given.

[motherbra1n]

Craig Harris works at Sega now?
Damn I had no idea.

I'm certain that the Wii U will at least be on par with the ps3/360, it would just make no sense, even for nintendo.

[MegaMan64]

That's what I want to hear.

[Meelow100]

This will hopefully take the trolls away:).

[Hisiru]

Oh man... it's shocking. I was expecting it to be at least 3x inferior to the x360.

[wiired]

Though I personally would be happy with a Wii-U that is as powerful as a 360/PS3, my sense is that it would have to be more powerful in order to be successful. Otherwise, what is the incentive for a current 360/ps3 owner to spend all this money on the Wii-U?

[ddddd]

Also he seems to hint at the game running at 60fps, which is wierd, not because I think the system wouldnt handle it, but because devs love the "movie feel" of 30fps

[bearmon2010]

I still dont know.. Is it powerful enough to meet the next gen PS4 and 720 ? Hmm. I wont buy it right away until I see how it is going along with PS4 and 720 first. A wise money spending, indeed. I am not going to waste my money this time.

Indeed they do, and I can't stand it. That's the very reason I always play the rare shooter that interests me on PC rather than PS3 or 360.

Holla to my peeps at NeoGAF! Thanks for the steady stream of news!

[LittleKingsWii]

Well, if it wasn't obvious enough already....

Pretty sure Wii U wouldn't be getting stuff like Darksiders II, Assassin's Creed III or even Batman: AC either if the hardware didn't at least match up to the current gen consoles.

[NeroSuferoth]

So current-gen then?

[RD3AV5]

Yeah, Craig is a pretty cool guy! You should listen to the whole podcast, it's pretty interesting! And there is a mini contest going on!

You know, i find it so interesting and cool that Nintendo will be the first to show off what the next generation of games will look like. Even if the system does not end up matching the power of Orbis......and whatever the other one is codenamed, as long as the games look noticeably better than what the current HD twns are offering, many people would be satisfied. Man E3 is just over a month away and Nintendo is getting ready to blast off like team rocket again!!!

I'd buy you TimeSplitters 4 on the Wii U if (or as you'd say, "when") it comes out.

BTW, it really sucks that I can't post on neogaf. I read it everyday lol. I only read the Wii U speculation thread tho. Please tell everyone I said hi lol.

Ace, you post here..awsome! dude you and a few others have kept me glued to Wii U speculation thread since thread #2. Youguys are singlehandedly keeping the hype to E3 at a feverish suicidle pitch. Keep up the good work

@NeroSuferoth
Probably just on par with the x360

Haha, well thanks. I've had an account here for a while, but never use it (obviously).
Anyway, hopefully we'll get more news to satiate us all, but the last couple of days have been pretty good!

I do actually, I applied 2 months ago I think, could be 3 months ago. You're one of my favorite posters on there. I love your enthusiasm and the positive energy you bring to the thread. And of course, your sense of humor lol.

And I'll gladly sign that contract and buy you two copies of TimeSplitters 4
