Comments
Regarding Andrew's comment about being nothing of graphical note, he was right and it really sucks, but I guess it's to be expected on a Nintendo machine - unfortunately. During launches it's really up to the first/second parties to show off the machine and what it can do but that's just not really in Nintendo's DNA. Maybe Retro could have something in the works but who really knows what they are doing.
Other than that, third parties will just port stuff across from 360/PS3 to make their sales. That said, if the Wii U was leaps and bounds ahead of the current gen, we might have seen them go 60fps 1080 as an easy option and check on the box.
