Wii U Games Pulled From E3 Due to Underclocked Hardware - Report

The Wii U developments kits that developers have been working with are reportedly "underclocked." Third-party games are, as a result, not looking much better than what's current available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and due to that, Nintendo apparently opted to not show them last week at E3.

This is all according to a report by Hit Detection, the consulting firm founded by former Newsweek writer N'Gai Croal. It states, "However, due to titles not looking much better than what is currently available on Xbox 360 and the PS3, Nintendo decided late in the game to not show those titles and focus instead on tech demos."

During its E3 press conference, Nintendo showed a sizzle reel of third-party games -- including Ghost Recon Online, Ninja Gaiden 3, and Darksiders II. They looked just as good as anything on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360; as it turned out, that's because the footage came from the games running on those systems. According to Hit Detection, Darksiders II "could have been shown" as it was up and running on the Wii U's dev hardware.
