There is not much I can really talk about right now, but I think that the Wii U is a pretty powerful machine, which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more. So the Wii U team is doing very well, we've been working with Nintendo and I think it's going to be a very exciting version of Darksiders but we want to keep the overall theme relatively consistent."

Antagon · Mar 28, 2012

So we had Darksiders 2's Technical Director, Game Director and Art Director now chip in on its power. Who will be next?

How much times pretty? HOW MUCH TIMES???

That's an incredibly vague statement. E3 should be fun this year.

Vigil Intern in 2012: Wii U is 5 NESes and a PS2 stapled together.

OMG O_O That means at least 24X PS3 power, right?

SmokyDave · Mar 28, 2012

Pretty powerful, eh?

Well, that clears that up. It's going to be underwhelming.

ThatStupidLion · Mar 28, 2012

why does it feel that Darksiders 2 it the posterchild for wii U....am I missing some sort of behind the scenes relationship there....

guek · Mar 28, 2012

is it time to get back on the train?

HOW MUCH POWAH!!

He is basically saying nothing.

Because nobody is allowed to talk about exact specs, nor would they even have the final devkits at this point.

You don't need a reason to get on the train.

ALL ABOAAAARD

The_Darkest_Red · Mar 28, 2012

Cool, let's speculate about what "pretty powerful" means.

soxinthebox · Mar 28, 2012

Pretty powerful compared to its predecessor

Uno Venova · Mar 28, 2012

Doesn't say much, I hope no one was hoping this quote would change anyone's mind on the WiiU power situation.

Sadist · Mar 28, 2012

Vigil, why u no clear

Android Saga - initially we thought Goku was super powerful, but his heart condition deflated out hype. He's taken his medicine now and contemplating the possibility of SSJ2.

LMFAO nicely done.

Persona7 · Mar 28, 2012

Seems like vagueness taken out of context.

Derrick01 · Mar 28, 2012

The 360 was pretty powerful at one point too. Without any more information his statement's pretty useless.

gogojira · Mar 28, 2012

Vigil employee + vague Wii U power talk = headline news.

guek · Mar 28, 2012

ace, you should probably be clear in the OP that this was at the exact same event, or at least date the story

Dystify · Mar 28, 2012

You know, in my opinion even the Xbox360 and PS3 are still pretty "powerful", even when they're outdated right now. This quote really says almost nothing.

Rahxephon91 · Mar 28, 2012

Why do we care about this anyway? These are just words thrown out without any real measurement or anlyzation behind them. There's really nothing to it. Powerful compared to what? But sure sense you need your Nintendo fan belief reassured, you can have this thread. It shouldn't even matter in the end, the system will come it and will be fine.

Danielsan · Mar 28, 2012

Pretty powerful, compared to a Wii?
Pretty powerful compared to 360/PS3?
Pretty powerful, so that they can make the game they want to make on the platform without making too many concessions?

Such a meaningless statement.

If that were true, you'd post just the video, which was uploaded March 22

H_Prestige · Mar 28, 2012

What a desperate topic. 360 and ps3 are also "pretty powerful" if you ask most developers.

This is really bothering you people, isn't it?

Nintendo-only fans need some straws to grasp at.

lol, this is too funny.

which obviously means more resources, and means you can do a lot more

He's obviously comparing it to the current gen. Man. This forum. Good times.

Yeah, I agree.
very similar to the "well, you know, is on par about that stuff like, you know, polygons and textures, because we'll take advantage of the pad for sure, we'll not spend time in upgrade you know, that stuff like, you know, polygons and textures..."

E3 is too far away...

People are thinking way too much about this. Oh well, two months to go for E3. This madness will finally end then, or will it?

On a related note : WHAT THE HELL is going on with this website banner.

Any statement regarding the power of the Wii U is useless. The only useful thing that can truly show what the console is capable of is the games.

A bit like "on par" from the other guy. Valid counter discussion imo

Because it's an awesome third-party post-apocalyptic Zelda style game with upgrade elements, it'll look great and it's a launch title.

iceatcs · Mar 28, 2012

It is a sad day for Nintendo.

I kind of hope the wiiU is about the same, maybe only slightly more powerful than current consoles. If people are having meltdowns now just wait until it's actually proven true.

Doogdogg · Mar 28, 2012

it can do HD, so it has to be powerful.

just show the damn games already.

Nibel · Mar 28, 2012

Everybody! Take your powerful Reggie flowers!

Now: Say "Wii U is powerful" and remove one petal. Say "Wii U is not powerful" and remove one petal. Repeat until no petals are left.

Current gen as in PS3 / 360, or current gen as in Wii?

I know which one my money is on.

Oh beautiful inevitability.

sixteen-bit · Mar 28, 2012

I hope so!

hardcastlemccormick · Mar 28, 2012

Vigil's janitor thinks WiiU is pretty much a decent kit.

BlueTsunami · Mar 28, 2012

The iPad 3 is pretty powerful too, so is the Vita, and my toaster
