Reggie: Hardware “processing power really doesn’t matter”
I am very curious about the feelings everyone is having after listening to Reggie’s comments. I will keep my fingers silent and open discussion between everyone in the comments.

Reggie is a convincing speaker … and his argument is sound. The GC had much more processing power than the PS2, yet it finished far behind Sony in the home console race that generation. Still … it was nice to see a good number of the big 3rd party hits reach the Cube, and they did have some great 3rd party exclusives too …
For me, my enjoyment of a games visuals is more about art style than technical advancements. It’s why I loved the look of Skyward Sword for instance, and it’s why I stll enjoy older sprite based games. That said, would I like the Wii U to be more powerful? Of course! But I have a feeling 3rd parties would still find excuses …
Lastly, I was pleased to hear Reggie say that Nintendo wanted to offer ‘a range of experiences, not just the same old thing in a different skin’ This has been a concern of mine (especially w/the NSMB series) I hope once sales pick up, we’ll see more of the innovative projects the Big N has in the works.
