Frozenbyte: We Had No Issues At All With Porting Trine 2 To Wii U

trine_2_wallpaperFrozenbyte’s Trine 2 launched in 2011 on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.

Wii U’s edition of the puzzle platform game, Trine 2: Director’s Cut, released last year in the Nintendo eShop alongside the launch of Nintendo’s latest console.

Although the Wii U has a slower clock speed than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the developer says it had zero problems with porting the game to Wii U.

In North America, today is the last day to grab Trine 2: Director’s Cut from the Nintendo eShop at a discounted price of $15.99. The game will go back to its original price – $19.99 – on January 7th.

“The whole architecture is running very well and we were able to ramp the Trine 2 art to a higher degree than with the other consoles.”

“So for porting no issues at all and there is a nice base for future original development too. Maybe some were looking for a larger leap in terms of pure power, but in the end I believe most developers will be quite comfortable with the system.”

“Absolutely, but again in a very different direction that Nintendo has always been known for. They create their own standards and have huge IPs to fall back on. As for untapping the hidden power of new consoles.. I think Nintendo personifies that in all of their first party titles, regardless of the actual CPU or GPU performance.”

    1. I have bought that game yesterday and i really regret it.Wait for Rayman Legends.It’s so so much better in any way.Trine 2 is not for me!

        1. In the case of Assassin’s Creed 3 all versions are glitchy, and EA just plain hates Nintendo for not using Origin on the Wii U. Everything else is minor and only techies looking at every little detail will notice them.

            1. I think he was referring to AC3 and Mass Effect 3, 2 games that have “issues” apparently, and saying why they do

        2. Console* . Almost every single port looks better than the ps3 version.

          Mass effect 1 was recently ported to PS3 , and it has HORRIFIC framerate issues and glitches etc etc. Why is this ? Is this because it’s a lazy port , or the ps3 is simply not powerfull enough to run Mass effect 1 ? EX-FUCKING-ACTLY

          The xbox 360 was where games like Batman , Mass effect , CoD were built on , so it’s no suprise they run well on that platform.

          Lazy ports are not a graphical benchmark , look at trine 2 , that seems to of come out significantly better. And don’t give me that ”it’s not a taxing game”’ BS , because if it wasn’t then it would look better on 360 and ps3.

          Not really bothered about power anyway. I’m happy with the graphics of my 3DS , but that’s just me. Although I know te next ZELDA , Smash bros , etc is gunna look fucking awesome on the wiiu.

        3. False.
          Obviously U don’t own a WiiU.
          The Ports share SOME of the glitches other consoles have, while some glitches are fixed.
          Graphics look a little better, gameplay is smoother.
          Me and my bud did side-by-side gaming this last weekend.
          Needless to say, he’s trading in his xBox after he plays the new Halo.

      1. Yes, I’ve heard this. Hence why I asked.

        I mean, it’s not like they’re going to go through hell to get one of the easiest genres to pull off running on this console.

      2. Yeah like Tecmo said with the PS3 in their beginning with developping on the console.Professionnals are professionnals.Slow motion people are slow motion people ;) On PS3 real professionals like Naughty Dog deals with split RAM on the Sony.Real professionnals will deal with the Wii U.If the PS3 is so mediocre,why Uncharted 3 is still the most beautiful game i have ever seen????Outdated console????No i don’t think it’s outdated yet.Watch The Last of Us and GOW ascension coming soon ;) And watch Bayonetta 2 on Wii U exclusive.No damn port! ;)

        1. Dude,i have a very good PC and i don’t see a game that beats Uncharted 3 graphically.Look at the textures and animations.No god damn framerate dips and ugly screen tearing.Even Far Cry 3 that everybody look stunning is less stunning than Uncharted 3.A first person will never beat a third person in animation.PC is first person power like Xbox.No games that i don’t really enjoy on these 2 platforms! POW,POW,POW,gun,gun,gun,POW,POW,POW,gun,gun,gun.

          1. Plenty of games on PC look better than Uncharted 3, especially for textures and in 1080p not 720p, it’s not even a contest. Play something like Hitman Absolution on max settings and the upgrade in fidelity is obvious.

            1. You talk just of the resolution? Even Uncharted 3 in 720p beat a lot,i say A LOT of games.Resolution is only resolution.Look at all the animation.Hitman beat Uncharted???? haha dude you smoke very good weed :P Haha nice one

              1. Ha, well we can agree to disagree on that one. It would be great if I did like smoke weed perhaps, but I can’t stand the stuff, so it’s all based on my own sober aesthetic preferences, for better or worse. :)

                1. Hehe yeah :P and i respect that don’t worry. ;) Everyone have their own opinions.Example,almost all my friends are amazed by Far Cry 3,man so not me lol I was amazed by Skyrim.I run Skyrim on my pc at full max settings and i really love this game.But i’m not sold for the expansions.Too much good games to play with :P I run Max Payne 3 at full Max settings too but i still think that Uncharted 3 is greater in graphics and animation ;) And much more fun to play with too.Max Payne is all long the game,walk 2 mins,stop kill a bunch of gangsters,walk 2 mins,stop,kill a bunch of gangsters :P Come on Nintendo,i want a new Metroid lol That’s why i have bought a Wii U.I really think it’s a nice console and i want exclusives.Not ports.Can’t wait for Bayonetta 2 :P

                    1. Xenoblade and Last Story programmers are supposed to make games on Wii U.Yes please,that’s what i want for my Wii U.Not ports to compare versions.Dude we don’t need that lol believe me. ;)

        2. Uncharted 3 did not wow me in the graphics department. The desert stage with the fantastic lighting looked great, but that’s about it. Some of the stages in Uncharted 3 had far too many jaggies. Uncharted 2 is more consistent in the graphics department and overall a better looking game than Uncharted 3 — even though Uncharted 3 beats Uncharted 2 on a technical level. God of War 3 is also a better looking games than Uncharted 3.

          1. God of War 3 is awesome too.We’ll maybe Uncharted is not the type of graphics you like.A lot are impressed with Far Cry 3.Sure the game is very nice but it really not Wow me.It’s like Crysis 1.Far cry 1,2.Always in a forest.It’s repetitive Ubisoft after all.And i know it’s not made by Ubisoft Crysis ;) Don’t tell me.Not so amazing

            1. Enough of first person shooting.Even the next Metroid,i don’t want it in first person.Im not a fan of Prime series.I’m a fan of Metroid and Super Metroid.Other M was acceptable though!

        3. Chrissy… the only real professionals I’ve ever seen are Nintendo Entertainment, Analysis & Development (EAD), MonolithSoft, and (the same company that a former employee of Naughty Dog now works for…) Retro Studios.

          1. I really like Retro studio.It’s the new Rareware for Nintendo :P Can’t wait to see what they will do with the Wii U :) I have Xenoblade since last week and it’s really an amazing game.Monolith on Wii U will rock.And on Sony,it’s Naughty dog and Santa Monica.And now im really amazed by an exclusive game on the PS3 by Namco.It’s called Ni No Kuni.Awesome JRPG with amazing graphics.Xenoblade and NNK are my 2 favorite rpg in the last 10 years or more.Im waiting for Last story too that everyone said it’s a great great great one ;) I have stopped playing rpg’s since FFX.All others after that was a let down.Nice to see a reborn there ;)

      1. Bro i don’t want Crysis 3 and Metro on the Wii U,don’t care on these games.I own a pc already! And i don’t care too for GTA5 because i have a PS3 :) I don’t want the same games.I have not spend 400$ to have to sames games lol ;)

    1. Metro is a technical mess. Sure, it looks nice but you literally need the best hardare to run it, how is that profitable or even smart design?
      Crysis was the same, and even now it’s iffy.

      1. Well, Metro was made by THQ :P Even though they’re one of my Favorited Dev’s, profitable isn’t in there dictionary xD

        1. Well you’d think THQ would make a game thats high quality on all systems. Nope, smash every tech boundary, and run the company down with.
          Gaming costs are expensive enough as it is, clearly their programs and developers made a beautiful yet horrible engine that can only run properly on 10% of the machines its bought for

      2. yes, I know metro is a demanding game, that’s why I brought it up to compare that such a title wouldn’t necessarily be nearly as demanding as that poorly optimized title.

        1. What, so you want a $800 console now do you? Because thats what you need to run Metro perfectly. The only games that even run perfectly on consoles this gen are platformers and ps2 hd releases, and exclusives.

        2. Yeah, but look at Crysis 1 (100% PC version, not a dumb port for PC)…. console versions looks like shit compared to PC, yes, i own a PS3 and PC, im not saying PS3 version looks too bad, PC is just miles ahead and still, Crysis 1 sold better on consoles, that proves the point that gameplay is much more important, thats why Crysis 2 was first made for consoles (better sales).

          But Crysis 2 for example is not much better on PC (visually), it is better ofc but i mean, much less difference between this game than Crysis 1.

          Now, question for you….. why?

          1. Crysis 2 is more optimized for consoles than Crysis 1
          2. Crysis 1 is a bad port for consoles = lazy developers.
          3. Or Crysis 1 is just more demanding than Crysis 2 = this must be equal to better graphics,
          physics etc but many gamers dont agree with this, they said Crysis 2 looks better and thats why something is strange with this (maybe answer 1. or 2. is correct)

          One of those three answer is 100% truth, THE FUNNY THING IS you never said “lazy developers” are to blame, you never said early console games are looking worse than 2010-2012 console games for example, you are just saying new Wii U games WONT AND CANT look much better than early Wii U games and last, we all know that “demanding” is equal to better graphics, physics etc (i mean, why would Crysis 2 be inferior to Crysis 1, it makes no sense)… so basically for you, none of the answers are correct, right? you do realize something strange?

          My points is…. if Crysis 1 can be made for Xbox 360/PS3 than why cant they port next gen games for Wii U? they can ofc im 100% sure without much problems but we dont know whats the real reasons why someone wont port a game for Wii U (its not only about specs really). PCs are miles ahead from PS3/360 and still games are made for consoles (specs talk)….

          Maybe 3rd party just hate Nintendo, maybe Nintendo dont care about 3rd party games, maybe they just think Nintendo is 80% for casuals, maybe its too much to support 3 different consoles (+ PC), anything is really possible, not just damn specs lol. And again, the funny thing is you are only talking that the specs are the real problem… it could be, but ofc not only that.

          And no, i dont own a Wii U… im mostly a hardcore PC gamer but im gaming on Sony and Nintendo consoles too since 3rd gen console.

      3. Metro lol! What a crappy game.I have bought the game on PC 10$.I have played 2 hours and never touched it again.No V-sync option.Full max settings.Boring game and even a Pentium 500 MHZ with a cheap graphic card would run this game lol.A 10$ and 2 hours wasted for me.

    2. Welcome to another episode of things people say that no one gives a shit about staring Aeolus. In this episode we see our hero jack himself off with sandpaper while while reading others reactions to his incessant trolling. :)

      1. You really need to start talking to girls and try to get laid, imo.

        Since for some reason, you just can’t keep my dick out of your mouth in any comments section for an article on here.

        1. Dude,i know what is resolution,but even crappy developpers on PC can run his shitty games in 1080p.That dosn’t mean their really good.Don’t tell me,you have never seen bad optimized games on pc.Please don’t tell me that.That is what i’m talking about.You think 1080p resolution make a developper very talented??? hehe ok :P

        2. yep, that’s the point. Aeolus said:

          “Why the hell would they it’s a freaking 2.5D platformer, not Crysis or Metro.”

          This game needs dynamic resolution to run on PS360, but on Wii U it runs fine, however, Aeolus bring Crysis and Metro to the table knowing that PS360 has difficulties to run Trine 2 with lock and decent HD resolution. Do you understand my comment now?

    1. Actually yes it can. Talk to anyone who has played through Arkham City on the Wii U, they’ll tell you drops in the framerate are few and very minor.

        1. I have it myself and the framerate only dips every now and again , for the most , the game runs smooth. And the Wiiu version has FXAA which makes it noticeably sharper.

          1. Thats only because the framerate, for some reason, wasnt locked.
            On the ps3 and 360 the frame is constitantly 30fps, because they locked it.

            1. Yeh , for about 80% of the game (the vast majority) it runs like it does on xbox 360 , maybe even smoother. BUT sometimes like say once every 20 minutes on average you might be in a certain area where the framerate looks like it drops to about 10FPS for 5 seconds , and then goes back to normal.

              What i was worried about was the game running at a horribly low framerate all the way through. Thats not the case at all , as it runs beautifully for the most and has a few annoyoing drops , kinda how mass effect 1 runs on 360.

              But overall it runs fine , and looks really really sharp because of FXAA . And the exclusive content , features and off screen play make it the definitive version.
              Although whilst it may be the definitive version , it’s a year late and overpriced….

                1. No….. I havent played batman Arkhum city since it came out and sold it ages ago. So I thought I would give the wiiu version a try and it’s awesome :) .

                  I got it for cheap aswell. £35 . I know the guys in a store….

        2. You’re the one bullshitting.
          It’s amazing on the WiiU.
          One fuck-tard reviewer was negative. Looks like you’re basing your comments on his ignorance.

      1. YA DONT SAY ,,HI U GUYYZZth

        witch has nothing to do with power ITS A CHEAP PORT THE CODE DIDNT GET POLISHED WIPPY DO DAR

        THE FRAME RATE HAS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ZERO <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< TO DO WITH WIIUS POWER

    2. Anyone who thinks Trine 2 is a shitty game is a dumb dumb. That same dumb dumb will also look for small faults in any game for the Wii U. Do better in life….dummy.

    1. Having played this on the PC previously I didn’t expect I’d be interested in picking it up for the Wii U, but the touch screen controls and being able to play just on the gamepad really make the whole package attractive, especially for less than ten quid! They did a good job porting and adding some new bits, I think I read that other features will be added for free in the future too?

    2. YA DONT SAY ,,HI U GUYYZZth

      THE ABOVE SCUMBAG FUK WEED ASS LICK SONY CLOWN IMPLYED NINTENDO FANS DONT BUY 3RD PARTY GAMES “””””THATS WHAT U JUST DID DONT EVEN TRY TO WIGGLE OUT OF IT””””””””””””””””” GUESS WITCH GAME IS THE NUMBER 1 DOWNLOADED GAME ON WIIU = TRINE 2 OUCH THAT HAD TO HURT THE DUMMY ABOVE

  1. So far no eShop game (on Wii U or 3DS) has really jumped at me and made me think ” Oh my god, I HAVE to buy this!!!!!!!!”. I still have $10 unused on my 3DS from when I got Link’s Awakening and Metroid 2.

        1. It’s one I certainly enjoyed. And this is coming from a guy who dislikes Nintendo’s new approach in gaming. I find games on eshop are better than what major releases we get from Nintendo.

            1. Hopefully. Right now the only games that really peak my interest for the Wii U are on the eshop. I’m going to wait for E3 before I decide if I’m going to pick one up or not. Hopefully Nintendo can win me back.

              1. off course itll be hard to fimd a game thatll peak your interest since you think mario galaxy and skyward sucks so im not even going to bother naming game.

                  1. I’ve played it, it was alright. Coming from a guy who isn’t a huge fan of Nintendo, I think that kind of says a lot about the game :P

                1. Just because I think 2 games suck, doesn’t mean I think EVERYTHING sucks. The older mario and zelda games were greatly better. Just because I am not a huge fan of “mainstream” games, doesn’t mean I hate everything.

                  1. I usualy hate your opinions about games but beyond that i can do anything else but to counter whit my opinion also 60 of it is just trolling atempts.

                  2. two of the most highest rank gamr ever in history and you think it sucks, not ok, not its good, NO! you say it SUCKS and to add on top of that you then say Mario Sunshine is better or in your own words “You like Sunshine better” soyeah sorry if im a little straight forward and i know people havr their own opinions but please give credit to where credit is due not stop being such a uncomformist..

                    1. That I’m actually getting on PC (Half the reason the lists don’t intrigue me, I’m getting the ports on PC, unless there is something the Wii U version offers that isn’t anywhere else, I may get Aliens if Mr Randy goes all out on it (For Wii U)

        1. Yeah, I mean I respect Suda51, just they do have that issue quite a bit. If they expanded on the game onto say like the Wii U for example, they could do so much more with it.

          1. In terms of style, and charm, soundtrack, voice acting he’s awesome, but his games just have the most tedious gameplay ever xD No More Heroes was little less repetitive, and Lollipop Chainsaw even less so, but he needs to take some pointers from other hack and slash games :|

  2. YA DONT SAY ,,HI U GUYYZZth

    DDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPP WHY WOULD THERE BE ANY ISSUES ONLY ISANE PEOPLE THINK WIIU ISNT LEAPS AND BOUNDS ABOVE PS3 IN EVERY WAY AND POWERPC OUT OF ORDER CPU CORES AND A PC GPU BASED GPU DERP dont take a rocket scientist does it to work out commonsense for crying out loud and baby jesus and al that

    the weak cpu is attention seeking the wiiu is a flop is attention seeking the wiiu derp talk is DERP TALK LOL @ any one who thjought otherwise

    its the same peole saying psvita is relivent on this planet that are saying wiiu weak DERP

  3. YA DONT SAY ,,HI U GUYYZZth

    WHAT PART OF 2GB RAM 32 MB EDRAM AND 3MB EDRAM CPU CATCH AND DISC SPEED 2.5 X FASTER THAN PS3 I ASK AGAIN WHAT PART OF THAT DID SONY FAN NOT HEAR OR UNDERSTAND 3X PS3 GRAPHICS AND A SECOND SCREEN INCOMING ITS CAlled wiiu

  4. The team at Frozenbyte Games have done an excellent job of developing an improved version of Trine 2 on the Wii U. Although due to a slow clock speed, the game STILL packs a punch with beautiful graphics, and impressive play control… not to mention adding visual effects that you won’t find in the original T2 for PS3/X360. Frozenbyte should add another follow-up to T2 or add a brand new sequel to the Trine franchise for both Steam and U.

  5. Es ist ja wahnsinnig schwer ein 2,5D Spiel zu porten. Warum musste Nintendo so einen Drecksprozessor, einen derartig langsamen Arbeitsspeicher und eine untertaktete Grafikkarte aus dem Jahr 2009 in das Teil stecken nur um das ganze Geld für diesen Drecksbehinderten Controller mit Display auszugeben. Nun hat Nintendo eine Konsole mit halbgare Technik und einen halbgaren Controller.

    1. Probably a good thing you posted that in another language, you would have a fair few people on here otherwise attacking you. Not me though, I agree with parts of it.

    2. “It’s incredibly difficult to port a 2.5D game. Why does Nintendo have such a shit processor and memory and a such a slow under overclocked graphics card from 2009 in there?”- Is basically what “Cake” said… Don’t know about technical stuff soo can’t really coment. I can say that Wii U IS Next Gen!!!

      1. Personally, I would like Retro to be working on a new IP. Never played any Metroid, but from what I’ve seen it looks boring and repetitive.

            1. If you have a backwards compatible Wii or a Gamecube I highly suggest getting Metroid Prime, you can find it pretty cheap on eBay. That was the game I started with and I was hooked ever since.

        1. Metroid is alright. Just don’t play Other M. Seriously. I have no idea what the developers were thinking. It’s a stain on the series.

            1. Metroid prime is the greatest trilogy ever in gaming. I can’t give that game enough praise , that after ocarina is probably my favorite game. Number 1 is the best and 2 and 3 are right behind it.

              You HAVE to play metroid prime trilogy , it’s so good it’s kinda emotional , lol…..

        2. Coming from a troll who has zero gaming experience. In the beginning, Metroid was a very challenging game on the NES. Super Metroid was more beautiful and challenging in detail on the Super NES. The Metroid Prime trilogy was one of the best games ever made by an American game developer… Retro Studios. Rumor has it that Prime 1 for the GameCube was powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine (1 or 2, I assume).

          1. Techincally it was a hybrid developer. Retro have Western and Japanese staff.

            Which is jus like…perfect.

          1. Yes bro it’s repetitive.I prefer so much the 2d versions.Metroid and Super Metroid.Retro can make another game if they want,but don’ call it Metroid please just selling.It’s not a Metroid game for me in first person.Donkey Kong Country returns from Retro is really really awesome though :)

    1. Metro is a much larger more complex game than Trine 2, making it much harder to port. But we have to remember THQ has a history of laziness.

      1. From what i have read, Metro is a very CPU intensive game, the Wii U’s CPU isn’t quite the focus as its GPU, on the Wii U’s MCM you can even see how much larger the GPU is then the CPU. THQ didnt want to have to do a re-write of the entire games engine to optimize it for the Wii U.

        1. WEAK CPU = WEAK SCARED INDUSTRY LOL

          THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CPU WILL U STOP BELEWIVING EVERYTHING A INDUSTRY HELL BENT ON ENDING NINTENDO SPUWS OUT ITS MOUTH

          YOUR A CLOWN SHOE THE CPU ISNT WEAK YOU RETARDED ANTI NINTENDO FANBITCH LOL @ YOUR TOTAL SAD ACT IGNORENCE OUT OF FANBOYING THE DERP INDUSTRY !!!!!! REALITY CHECK YOUR SELF DUDE

          THE CPU HAS A 3MB EDRAM CATCH THATS 6 X BIGGER THAN PS3S CATCH DUMB FACE AND 3 X BIGGER THAN X360 SO HOW IS IT WEAKER YOU ASS CLOWN

          THE CATCH IS IBM EDRAM NOT SRAM THERE FOR ITS ALSO 2X PLUS THE BANDWIDTH WEN IBM REPLACE SRAM WITH EDRAM IN A CATCH IT DOUBLES THE BANDWIDTH

          SOOOOO NUMB NUTS WHY DOUBLE THE BANDWIDTH TRO WEAKEN THE CPU ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          wiiu cou catch is 12 x bigger than wiis cpu catch 3 x bigger than x360s and 6 x bigger than ps3s is that rocket science to you dude it aint to me LTFOL YOU TARD !!!!!!!

          wiiu edram gpu is 3.2 x bigger than x360s in fact is huge lets look at all edram home consoles

          ps2 4mb gc 3mb wii 3mb x360 10mb so thats 20mb total

          all edram in every console before comes to 20mb wiiu all on its lonesome has 32 mb WAKEY WAKEY NUMB SKULL

          x360 total catch buffer ram on gpu and cpu = 11mb
          wiiu total on cpu gpu ram= 35mb is this computing dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          ps3 9mb disc drive speed 22mb for the wiiu custom drive OH LOOK EVERYBODY THE WIIU DRIVE IS 2.5 X FASTER THAN PS3S ASLEEP IN CLASS WERE WE HEAD IN HANDS WANKERS WILL BE WANKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!

          RAM X360 512MB PLUS 10MB EDRAM – os = 32MB = 480MB FOR GAMING TOTAL =480MB
          RAM PS3 512MB NO EDRAM = OS =50mb = 462mb total games = 462mb got that dumb cunts

          wiiu 1gb ram plus 32mb edram for games =1056mb for games oh look its more than wii ps3 and x360 combined and its getting data from a fast drive too and its feeding a huge cpu catch memory and its more efficient than ps3s code and supports better compression oh lok 3x the ps3 effective games ram OH LOOK A FACT SLAYED AN OPINION AS IT ALWAYS DOES !!!!!!!

          the weak cpu LTFOL xenon x360 has 1mb catch wiiu has 3mb the x360 cpu has a sram catch the wiiu has a edram catch the x360s catch runs at half cpu speed the wiiu catch runs at full cpu speed

          the x360 cpu has 1 execution unit per core (lol half of atom that crap intel thing it has 2 of them lol)

          wiiu enhanced broadway expresso cores have 5 execution units each thats 15 total 15 execution units VS 3 execution units LOL FANBOYS LOL YOUR EXPOSED AS SCUM LOL @ WEAK CPU

          15 execution units vs 3 your seriously deluding your fanboy selves now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

          EXPRESSO CPU 5 INSTRUCTIONS PER CLOCK EFFICIENT

          XENON CPU 2 INSTRUCTIONS PER CLOCK EFFICIENT LESS THAN HALF THE WIIU CPU LOL

          WIIU A DEDICATED HD SURROUND SOUND DSP THATS EASY 2X PLUS THE ALL ROUND SOUND CAPABILITY OF X360 AND IT DONT TOUCH THE CPU ONE BIT

          XENON WASTES A FULL CORE ON SOUND FACT FANBOYS RUN ALONG I HAVE EXPOSED YOU

          WIIU HAS A DUALCORE ARM CO CPU XBOX AND PS3 HAVE NO CP CPU

          SLAM DUNK WENT THE METRO DEVS BALL INTO THE NET AS YOU ALL LOOK ON

          SOME OF US DO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE ARE SAYING

      2. DERP-AID ITS REFRESHING

        just to let you know it was admitted they didnt even have the dev kit lol @ weak cpu in dev kit they never had it went from metro on wiiu hell yeah total suport to its on hold to we didnt even have the dev kit then it was horrible cpu everything to blame but themselves LOL

  6. The Wii U is more powerful the Xbox 360 and PS3, the clockspeed doesn’t mean less powerful, the Wii U has multiple cores. The Wii U must be attractive to third parties to develop for and I think it is and will be.

  7. Slower than 360/PS3 CPU?Ram itself can back that up.1GB of ram is larger than the 360/PS3 500+mb ram.Processes and other graphical things work much better on WiiU

    1. DERP-AID ITS REFRESHING

      slower than ps3 and x360 based on no clock speeds no bus bit data no single or dual bus data in other words totally made up

      the gamecube had a dual bus FACT 64 bit ain ram and 8 bit access ram FACT

      the wii had a dual ram bus 64bit x 2 1t sram 64bit bus 4gb
      ghddr3 ram 64 bit bus 4gb double data rate not double clocked like 1t sram so again 2 ram buses

      but all of a sudden wiiu has a single ram bus and only 50% more bandwidtgh than x360 DDDDDEEERRRPPPPPP YOU FGUKING PEOPLE BIELEVEE ANYTHING THE ANTI NINTENDO TROLLS SPUW OUT THERE TROLL HOLES

  8. DERP-AID ITS REFRESHING

    gamecube two memory buses wii 2 memory buses wiiu single memory bus because anandtech want to make up lies about wiiu it has TWO main ram buses just like gamecube and wii did THERE DELIBERATELY LEAVING THE OTHER OUT TO LOOK WEAK ITS A LIE

    they dropped half the ram bus on the most powerful version yet BELIEVE THAT YOUR INSANE

  9. DERP-AID ITS REFRESHING

    powerpc 750s from 20 years ago FUNNY POWER PC 750 IS TOTALLY UN ABLE TO SUPPORT MULTI CORE FACT

    POWERPC 750 IS TOTALLY UNABLE TO SUPPORT L2 CATCH ABOVE 1MB AND IS BOT BUILT AT 45NM AND TOTALLY UNABLE TO SMP MULTICORE SOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! its not a 20 year old chip is it DERP AID DRINKERS

    45nm didnt exist 20 years ago nor did copper wire tech or silicon on insulator YOU PEOPLE LOL

  10. WEAK CPU = WEAK SCARED INDUSTRY LOL

    THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CPU WILL U STOP BELEWIVING EVERYTHING A INDUSTRY HELL BENT ON ENDING NINTENDO SPUWS OUT ITS MOUTH

    YOUR A CLOWN SHOE THE CPU ISNT WEAK YOU RETARDED ANTI NINTENDO FANBITCH LOL @ YOUR TOTAL SAD ACT IGNORENCE OUT OF FANBOYING THE DERP INDUSTRY !!!!!! REALITY CHECK YOUR SELF DUDE

    THE CPU HAS A 3MB EDRAM CATCH THATS 6 X BIGGER THAN PS3S CATCH DUMB FACE AND 3 X BIGGER THAN X360 SO HOW IS IT WEAKER YOU ASS CLOWN

    THE CATCH IS IBM EDRAM NOT SRAM THERE FOR ITS ALSO 2X PLUS THE BANDWIDTH WEN IBM REPLACE SRAM WITH EDRAM IN A CATCH IT DOUBLES THE BANDWIDTH

    SOOOOO NUMB NUTS WHY DOUBLE THE BANDWIDTH TRO WEAKEN THE CPU ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    wiiu cou catch is 12 x bigger than wiis cpu catch 3 x bigger than x360s and 6 x bigger than ps3s is that rocket science to you dude it aint to me LTFOL YOU TARD !!!!!!!

    wiiu edram gpu is 3.2 x bigger than x360s in fact is huge lets look at all edram home consoles

    ps2 4mb gc 3mb wii 3mb x360 10mb so thats 20mb total

    all edram in every console before comes to 20mb wiiu all on its lonesome has 32 mb WAKEY WAKEY NUMB SKULL

    x360 total catch buffer ram on gpu and cpu = 11mb
    wiiu total on cpu gpu ram= 35mb is this computing dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ps3 9mb disc drive speed 22mb for the wiiu custom drive OH LOOK EVERYBODY THE WIIU DRIVE IS 2.5 X FASTER THAN PS3S ASLEEP IN CLASS WERE WE HEAD IN HANDS WANKERS WILL BE WANKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!

    RAM X360 512MB PLUS 10MB EDRAM – os = 32MB = 480MB FOR GAMING TOTAL =480MB
    RAM PS3 512MB NO EDRAM = OS =50mb = 462mb total games = 462mb got that dumb cunts

    wiiu 1gb ram plus 32mb edram for games =1056mb for games oh look its more than wii ps3 and x360 combined and its getting data from a fast drive too and its feeding a huge cpu catch memory and its more efficient than ps3s code and supports better compression oh lok 3x the ps3 effective games ram OH LOOK A FACT SLAYED AN OPINION AS IT ALWAYS DOES !!!!!!!

    the weak cpu LTFOL xenon x360 has 1mb catch wiiu has 3mb the x360 cpu has a sram catch the wiiu has a edram catch the x360s catch runs at half cpu speed the wiiu catch runs at full cpu speed

    the x360 cpu has 1 execution unit per core (lol half of atom that crap intel thing it has 2 of them lol)

    wiiu enhanced broadway expresso cores have 5 execution units each thats 15 total 15 execution units VS 3 execution units LOL FANBOYS LOL YOUR EXPOSED AS SCUM LOL @ WEAK CPU

    15 execution units vs 3 your seriously deluding your fanboy selves now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    EXPRESSO CPU 5 INSTRUCTIONS PER CLOCK EFFICIENT

    XENON CPU 2 INSTRUCTIONS PER CLOCK EFFICIENT LESS THAN HALF THE WIIU CPU LOL

    WIIU A DEDICATED HD SURROUND SOUND DSP THATS EASY 2X PLUS THE ALL ROUND SOUND CAPABILITY OF X360 AND IT DONT TOUCH THE CPU ONE BIT

    XENON WASTES A FULL CORE ON SOUND FACT FANBOYS RUN ALONG I HAVE EXPOSED YOU

    WIIU HAS A DUALCORE ARM CO CPU XBOX AND PS3 HAVE NO CP CPU

    SLAM DUNK WENT THE METRO DEVS BALL INTO THE NET AS YOU ALL LOOK ON

    SOME OF US DO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WE ARE SAYING

    THE WIIU HAS A DSP HD SOUND PROCESSOR A ARM DUALCORE CO CPU AND A TRI CORE GAMING CUSTOM OUT OF ORDER POWWERPC CPU VS X360S CRAPPY INLINE CPU ALL ON ITS LONESOME SHUT UP METRO DEV FANBOYS THERE LIES ARE EXPOSED

  11. WEAK CPU = WEAK SCARED INDUSTRY LOL

    PEAK DATA COMPRESSION GEKKO CPU 4TO1 PEAK DATA COMPRESSION BROADWAY 4TO1

    PEAK DATA COMPRESSION EXPRESSO 4TO1 OH LOOK 3MB CATCH JUST BECAME 12MB CATCH AND ALL COMPRESSED DATA CAN DE COMPRESS IN REAL TIME AND RE COMPRESS TO SEND TO GPUS VIA A GRAPHICS DATA BURST PIPE EACH CORE HAS

    LOL CLOWN SHOES THINKING METRO DEVS WERE NOT LYINGTHEY CLEARLY ARE IDIOTS OH AND METRO 2033 WAS THE BUGGIEST AND MOST PATCH NEEDING GAME THIS GEN AND THAT STUDIO IS RENOWN FOR POOR CPU CODE

    OWNED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. commonsense = gods wisdom

    the wiiu is so weak it does HD 5.1 and stereo surround to the gamepad speakers all at the same time in real time with out even touching its cpu

    the xbox 360 does sd surroud sound just plain old DD and it wastes a cpu core to do it

    but the wiiu is weak i fucking love retards there such goofy little bastards

      1. commonsense = gods wisdom

        yeah he said the gamepad and its not 6.1 its 5.1 plus 2 for gamepad plus 1 for wii remote so its 8.1 is actual speakers but its 5.1 plus 2 plus 1 all at the same time no cpu required

        gamepad streaming is handled by co cpu camera co cpu io and os co cpu touchscreen co cpu etc
        ds for sound the expresso is 100% games performance the xbox 360 was like 60% for games the rest was os and sound OWNED

        1. Says the troll who doesn’t know fucking shit about video games. You don’t belong to a Nintendo-based blog, Aeolus wannabe. U mad because the Wii U does everything the Xbox 360 doesn’t do– asymmetrical gameplay.

          1. If you actually read what he said, he was defending the WiiU rather well, he just said it in an ironic way to show how stupid people who says it weak are.

  13. No get your facts right. Wii U has a slightly faster clock rate than PS3 and Xbox 360. That’s why you won’t have porting issues. This is the basics.

    1. It’s the CPU that are a bit slower but Xbots are afraid of the others on the market.So muchs lies we hear from them just to protect their beloved pay to play online,pay to recharge their controllers,required 5 dvd’s for a game and finally their POW POW SHOOT BANG,POW POW SHOOT BANG only game style console. :P

  14. The man knows what he’s talking about. The Wii U has barely shown us what it can do yet. It doesn’t have a game that pushes it to the limits yet. That will come in a few years and will most likely be a first party game. 3rd parties rushed these ports to get them out for launch, some ended up better than others but they’re all perfectly good games judging from all of the reviews I’ve read. Slightly better, but not worse.
