Nintendo's Wii Weaker than Apple's iPhone?

Nintendo

According to comments from someone at Telltale Games, apparently the Wii is weaker than the iPhone. A programmer from Telltale, the team behind Wallace & Gromit, CSI, Strong Bad and, most recently, Tales of Monkey Island, recently came out on the official message boards to defend complaints about frame-rate issues in the WiiWare edition of Tales of Monkey Island, which hit the US on Monday. Amidst the rebuttal, though, the poster who calls themself 'Yare', stated "[...] The Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even [...] The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn't remove the hardware limitations."

Do you feel the comments are justified or is it a matter of the team not having enough experience with the system yet?

Now this... this is just plain hilarious. Smilie Man, what is with devs today? So opinionated... and ignorant. Smilie I ask you, what iPhone game looks as good as Super Mario Galaxy? Or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption? If they really want to get nasty... how about Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike? Both GameCube games. Smilie

*sigh* What a load of BS... today's devs are such gfx whores, it's quite disturbing.

Chance favors the prepared mind.

Not true. At all.
The best-looking game I've seen on iPhone was Assassin's Creed. And while it looked amazing for iPhone, it still didn't look as good as a DS game. And I'm pretty sure the Wii overpowers the DS...

Yes, the Wii isn't very powerful, but his complaints are utterly ridiculous. If Retro can make Corruption -- an intense system pushing first person shooter -- run at a smooth 60 frames a second, why can't you lock down your frame rate for these adventure games? This just shows its not the system's fault, its you.


'd also say Sunshine was better than 64 and Galaxy.

If the Iphone was more powerful, the games would look far better than very well textured N64 games wouldn't they?

But then, it could be a joke. Or just someone jumping on the bandwagon and bashing the Wii. Either way it isn't ture.


No joke Smilie
