Noooooo, but we'll at least still get Raid Over the River right? Right?
Yeah, I thought it was "slower", but that's because it has to be used differently than the PS360 CPU's.

I honestly hope this system does badly so that Nintendo is forced to try a new strategy. I dealt with the Wii, but two generations in a row of horrible online and hardware cheapness? No thanks.
If it's any trouble at all they probably just won't.

Even with all of the weak, low-shelf hardware in the system, they're STILL LOSING MONEY on every system they sell. It's undoubtedly that focus on the tablet controller and a low price of entry that's keeping back the hardware.

The main reason why i believe, there is more going on in the background. Nintendo properly didn't put the game on there showcase, if it would not be possible on the Wii U. Like others already say THQ hasn't got the resources anymore and needs to make the safe bets.

Or--crazy thought--the Zelda 2011 demo was a pre-rendered bullshit scene with lighting triggers that made people look at it and go "WOW IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL".

The more info that comes out, the worse it sounds. This system hasn't even caught up to the 360 or PS3 by the look of things.

Hopefully with the two screen element and HD power they can finally make their dreams a reality.

Nintendo dun goofed.
The Zelda demo was all of one room.

Why would they respond? Nintendo isn't going to release or talk about the full specs of the system. And I really wanted them to comment on the GPU as we know the CPU is a piece of shit =(

You had two other options, you never had to "dealt" with the Wii. The other two consoles were practically twins, why would you want another one?
Wasn't that Zelda demo using old models?

Yeah, I can definitely see how the Gamepad would benefit ROtR's gameplay. Not a total loss in that case.

I was really hoping for some decent 360/PS3 ports it seems like Nintendo was late to the party yet again.

With the current THQ situation I'm happy with Metro being released in any console.

I don't think anyone but the most delusional anti-Ninty guys truly thought it would be worse than 6-7 year old hardware. Slower CPU, slower RAM, it's really astounding.

Oh lord.
Edit: Now people are actually saying it's weaker than the other two. Come on guys let's be sensible here.

Well, the Shin'en thread won't have a third of the posts of this thread.
I thought it was using updated Twilight Princess models, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way it looked really good.
hahahahaha

Pretty idiotic on the part of Nintendo, to be honest. Yes, the low-cost, under-powered approach worked brilliantly in their favor last generation with the Wii, but after boosting consumer mindshare and awareness, coupled with the introduction of new system-selling IPs and the commercial resurgence of old ones, there was little risk in building a more powerful console. Unlike Sony and the PS3, Nintendo actually had the software potency and exclusives to back it up.
The Wii U isn't succeeding the Gamecube, a mainstream failure that justified Nintendo's concern with further pursuing the hardware race; it's succeeding a console that practically recouped whatever money or consumer confidence that Nintendo gradually lost during the course of the previous generations. And now with that momentum, they chose to release another underpowered gimmick, especially in light of Wii's slow sales during the tail end of its existence?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
2010's Metro 2033 was doing more than Nintendo's E3 Zelda tech demo. They know their graphical shit.
