Gamesradar, Justin Towell- "The Wii U is supposed to be out this year. It's never going to launch post-Christmas, so that means we're four months at most from launch. But having played it at Gamescom, I'm not convinced it's all coming together as coherently and convincingly as you would hope for a console so close to being released into the wider world. So let's look at a few key areas and the good and bad examples seen at Gamescom."
Here is an early analysis of the PlayStation Network exclusive game The Unfinished Swan based on iWaggle3D hands-on time with the demo code playable with the PlayStation Move at GamesCom 2012.
Also included in this video is an interview with Ian Dallas, Creative Director at Giant Sparrow (developers of The Unfinished Swan).

"It’s another FIFA release and you are surely asking yourself ‘what more could they possibly do.’ The current offering of FIFA 12 has such a vast array of modes, features and content that I would think it would have been a challenge to improve upon it. During my time with the team of FIFA producers at gamescom 2012, I was educated on the influences driving the innovation within FIFA 13. With a vibrant community providing constant, vocal feedback there is always more they can do. "

"During our time at gamescom 2012 we got a more in-depth look at the new PlayStation Move experience, Wonderbook: Book of Spells, which is releasing later this year. We also got a glimpse into the history behind Wonderbook’s creation, how it came about, saw some of the early prototypes, and learnt how author J.K. Rowling came to be involved with this project. "
I can't wait for the ball today because there is going to be some spinning.
To summarize:
The graphics in assassins creed 3 look worse than the ps3 version when the developers said that the Wii u is powerful and will be the best looking version.
The system is crashing and overheating.
The system is lagging.
Zombie u looks better and close to a modern day Xbox360 game.
I think Nintendo should delay this system til next year summer soo they can launch with more games and polish the games that are lacking a bit. Nintendo seems like they are trying to rush the Wii u to the market like the 3ds.
Nintendo fans often speaks through both sides of their mouth because they'll talk about how the console is powerful and when something proves its not they'll say graphics doesn't matter. Graphics aren't the only thing that matters in modern games because an improvement in ai, sound, physics and all sorts matters as well. Nintendo fans don't talk about what they'd rather to have and that's why Nintendo keeps doing the things they do like releasing weak hardware and hold out on information that the consumers want to hear
Hmmm....The black Wii U really looks sharp.
sounds like they have a good amount of work to do, hopefully they can square it all away and get this thing to the peoples soon
This seems pretty bad considering it will release in less than 3 month but im pretty sure they can handle the overheating issues in no time at all.
For the graphics issue I bet the games are in their final stages of being finished because better graphics card = better performance.
Ouch, this doesn't paint a good image for the Wii U
I understand that this is a discouraging article, especially since it's pretty close to primetime for the Wii U, but I don't think Nintendo will just let the console go without some serious quality control on the hardware.
