None of the Metroid Prime games used the Unreal Engine, that was found to be false.
STOP EMBARRASSING ME, NINTENDO FANS!
And the point of this question is....?
The forum erupted with laughter
Many of the hardcore 'gaming platform fanboys' are insufferable but the Nintendo hardcore are particularly unbearable.
A heady mix of creepy and smug self righteousness makes them nearly impossible to argue with sensibly and some of those Twitter responses just reinforce that notion.
*shudder*
*shakes fist*

..., this made me laugh out loud. And now I am ashamed at laughing so hard at a fart joke.

It's funny to look back on how silly we were just months ago. All those hopes and dreams.

Remember the year of current-gen ports Wii U was supposed to get at the very least.
At 1080 p.

Get out of Nintendo's way? As in the way of their downward spiral?
And what is so "affordable" about the Wii U? It's old tech with a miniscule HDD, and a fancy controller the masses don't care about. That's marching to the beat of your own drum, while Sony and Microsoft smartly go to developers when creating a new platform for their input.

How many games are you seeing going UE3 on next gen systems ..... it's not what I meant. There has to be a way to make an engine capable of running all those nice things you see on next gen and be able to downscale that game easily to smaller systems. Hell I've seen tech that did this.
I'm not even offfended by what Rein Said. What I'm offended of is that he's part owner of the Carolina Hurricanes... Ughhh.

People can be reasonably annoyed because he's laughing about what they paid for. Now, who actually deserves their ire is another question.
And Rein is apologizing because it's business.

Well, no. I think the implication of that for WiiU's current status/standing in the eyes of the industry (for developers like Rein and those in attendance, as well as the press) and the resulting back and forth between people that are sad/angry about that and the people that are happy about that is the driving factor behind most of the posts in this thread.
Because UE4 won't be able to degrade on older cards/computers? Unless they want to just sell to people with 680s and Titans.
Although it's getting harder to distinguish between the middleware (creation tools) and the tech (what actually gets rendered/how it renders it). Engine version number increments used to essentially mean a gigantic paradigm shift. Now they're pretty much just the latest update of what they already built out, with some new software to make content creation easier, and a couple of new features included to tempt new licensees.
I mean, look how long Ubisoft has been riding the original UE2 base they've been adding features to. Treyarch and Infinity Ward are on a juiced up idtech 3. Engine version numbers have started to lose their meaning.

It's ridiculous that he has to do this.People are really taking his comments to heart. He really didn't need to apologize IMO. I love my Wii U but I won't defend its lack of power.
It's even more ridiculous that some people actually got "offended" by someone laughing at a video game console.

Seriously, it's a fucking toy. He can laugh at whatever the hell he wants to.
I think it's more of the fact that people are celebrating that the wiiU is getting poo-pooed.

He didn't have to, he chose to.
The internet gives everyone a voice, but it's up to you which ones to listen to.
Yeah and so what? Its still just a video game console, no one should get upset because someone mocks it. It means nothing.
Seriously, anybody who feels offended by his answer is clearly detached from reality. The UE4 engine is for machines with a certain level of technology. Wii U lacks it as Wii did with UE3. Nothing else.
Stop fucking around with this because it just make you look childish retarded.
PS: In my opinion Wii U deserves what it is happening to them. Nintendo can think that everybody will follow his path, but the sad truth is that you have to adapt to the developers, who are actually the ones that bring the product value to your machine. Perhaps the path sony and microsoft takes the industry to a dead end, but right now this is not what the people is thinking about.

That and "you're opinion".
Lol celebrating? Good lord, the persecution complex in here.

If the WUST threads weren't so ridiculously massive I'd love to pull a ton of quotes out of them.
So. Much. Fail.
I think he's saying that Nintendo can't afford to go bankrupt on hardware because they don't have anything else. Sony really can't either but they don't seem to care, and MS has grander, loftier goals in mind. And I think Nintendo now has resigned to the fact that they won't be getting 3rd party support from the major Western devs and publishers so they are changing focus to indies and trying to get more Japancentric in their approach.
And you have to remember, Iwata has stated countless times he sees the industry going in the wrong direction, so obsessed with power at the expense of everything else, including pricing for platform holders and gamers, and as such he is trying to avoid the inevitable big crunch that's coming.

I remember AceBandage stating with utmost confidence that Wii U would run PS3/360 ports in 1080p with 16xAA. He was supremely convinced of that and the worst part was that those threads were such an echo chamber filled with fake insiders that no one called him out on it.
And? If some people see the wii u as last gen, over priced, and an unappealing product and think it is funny or whatever, whats the problem?
People in the 70s laughed at the Gremlin/Pacer cars, people in the 80s laughed at New Coke and Crystal Pepsi, people in the 90s laughed at McDonald's Pizza & Microsoft's WebTV, and in the 00s people laughed at the PS3 and Sony in general. Dud products are funny.
People who use disposable consumer products as an important part of their identity and self-worth on the other hand, are scary and fascinating.

Holy shit this thread is even worse than I ever thought it'd be. There's literally a guy in here who can't sleep if Mark Rein doesn't answer his irreverent question... Think on that shit for a second.
Nuke this shit from existence!

Fascinating in the sense that it's fun to poke at and revel in their psychological dysfunction? Because that's most of what I see in this thread, and it's just as sad as the original delusion.

And Rein isn't to fault. That's why it's hilariously pathetic that this is happening.

Well it's to be expected, there are some folks who live for moments like this.
And if he didn't think it was an issue he'd not had replied at all. If I was him wouldn't had replied to anyone's "tweets", at best i'd just have released one statement about being taken out of context, because at the end of the day I still run a business.
Speaking of tweets, who are those two guys anyhow? Can't just be some normal dudes tweeting because I imagine he gets thousands of tweets a week.
