@Linkstrikesback Most lilely to be translated to $15 in NA but yes, it's on the pricey side...

Clock frequency stops making sense as soon as you have different amounts of transistors. So even comparing two single-core x86 CPUs from the same manufacturer with the same architecture isn't accurate if one of them has a single more transistor than the other. The only thing these CPUs (WiiU's and Xbox's) have in common is the instruction set and general core architecture (PowerPC), so comparisons are extremely inaccurate.

Also, the only people worrying about this stuff are those who wouldn't buy a WiiU in the first place. Most other can't really notice the CPU performance while stomping on goombas

Day one buy. Now, any news on Crimson Shroud?

I was super hyped for this game, and then the demo happened. Poor visuals and yet poor framerate at the same time, along with horrible audio didn't set a pretty stage. And then the gameplay was extremely simple and generic... I honestly don't get why did it get good reviews at all, it seemed like a horrible game to me :/

Aw yiss. The only probles is that I'm at work right now

Hmm... some valid points here, but the certification thing is way overblown. I shipped GBA, NDS and Wii games, most of them passed on first try, and those which didn't I can assure you didn't take 9 months to debug. But truth be told, you have to do a little more than "a few hires and a certification guide", you can't use Nintendo as your QA.

@Zaphod_Beeblebrox It should be safe, but if you're unsure just turn off the 3DS. I do agree that this kind of workaround sucks, but if it's the only way...
