iPhone more powerful than Wii says TellTale
According to Tales of Monkey Island developer TellTale the iPhone is more powerful than the Nintendo Wii, citing Wii framerate issues with the game.
Unfortunate gamers have complained of various framerate issues when playing the WiiWare version of Tales of Monkey Island causing one of its developers, to suggest that the Wii isn’t as powerful as the Apple mobile.
“Frame rate issues will probably get sorted out eventually, but keep in mind that the Wii is just not a powerful console. An iPhone is much more powerful than a Wii, even,” the developer known as Yare posted on the company’s forum.
“The voices and textures are the way they are because we’re limited to 40 megs for WiiWare titles. The PC versions of our games are usually 150+ megs, and most modern games range anywhere from 1-10 gigabytes or more. Talk to Nintendo about this one,” Yare said.
The dev continued with a stinging attack on Nintendo’s other console; saying that although the DS remains popular it doesn’t detract from the system’s flaws.
“I stand by them. The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn’t remove the hardware limitations.”
Harsh words indeed. Nintendo won’t exactly be jumping for joy at the notion that the Wii’s less powerful than a mobile phone.
Though of course it’s not just any mobile phone as much as a gaming device itself with over 13,000 games available from the Apple App Store.
