Alright, I'll be honest; I just assumed based off of what I've heard what their architecture is.
Mario Kart 8
lack of 3rd party support is detrimental to a console though.
I prefer to buy consoles after they have died. To that end I might.
The better question is, who the hell buys a Wii U in 2016?!
The Wii U was a failed experiment by Nintendo, but was still a great start for Nintendo. Personally the Gamepad was an Awesome addition, bringing the DS experience to the TV. It was also N's first Full HD console, so i give them credit for that. Also, there's a lot of great looking Wii U Games (WindWakerHD, NFS-MWU, COD, etc). Long live the Wii U!Following rumors of an early end and being swiftly denied by Nintendo, it seems like the WiiU could indeed meet its end in 2018.
Following today's financial report, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima has revealed that production of the WiiU could cease in March 2018, a year after the release of the NX.
This might come as a surprise since the general trend that the company has followed with previous consoles was to keep the old generation around for a while. However the WiiU hasn't been the big N's best-selling console and it probably wants everyone to move on.
Was it even possible to design a video device for mass production without HD support at the time they were making it?
Spring was never waiting for us, Nintendo It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In NXs hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants the Wii U is melting in the dark All the sweet, First party Software flowing down Someone left the Wii U out in the rain I don't think that I can fake it 'Cause it took so long to gain respect it And I'll never have that system again, oh noooooo I recall the orange light updating my system like a wave On the ground around your knees Birds like tender babies in your hands And the MLG playing SMB4, by the GameCube
In reply to that picture. I use to listen to the original version of this song all the time it's Macaurthor Park or something like that
If it was basically an engineering impossibility, or would have taken actively doing something to dodge it, to design a console that did not output HD then I can hardly give credit for them taking a big leap. It would be like congratulating me for buying a new petrol car that could break the speed limit -- everything on the market will probably do it, and if not then it will probably be something special that does not. To that end if ATI/AMD, Intel and Nvidia (all the options for graphics chip vendors doing anything good in 3d) all were doing chips, designs, fabs and such that were geared towards HD graphics then it is hardly like Nintendo dragged anybody kicking and screaming into the glorious world of 1992 or so in PCs.
They shouldn't be praised for that because it's their job to have a gaming console in HD. The Wii should have been in HD but it was basically a GameCube 1.5 instead.
