This is so bad. The only thing that's worse are the people trying to defend it.
There's a difference between explaining and defending FYI. This is really no big deal IMO. No one has any full details about this and won't until we see what this stuff is all about.
EDIT: BTW, are you saying defending Unreal Engine 4 being the kill all engine is 'so bad', or questioning whether Wii U being able to run it in full form or not?
The graphics on that old tech demo were so unreal engine 3 it wasn't even funny...
Who knows for sure? But I bet this so called Unreal Engine 4 will be "Unreal Engine 3 with better particle effects and framerate"

Being able to run it or not is not the point.
Its the fact that people don't seem to believe in the console and Nintendo's fan base. And this might not be a big deal to you, but there are Wii U owners that would like to play these games on a Nintendo console.

I see. I completely agree with that. I'm gonna wanna play multiplats, but I honsetly don't really care about Battlefield 4 or any recent last gen catered game being absent. I would consider them like any game if they were on Wii U, but I'm not gonna dwell on it, especially since I have a PS3 right here. It makes no difference.

I'm in the same boat. I will be getting Sony's new console and I guess that will have to take care of the lack of 3rd party support on Nintendo's end.
But it would be nice to play some of those 3rd party games on the Wii U and Nintendo does need to address this issue.
We'll see how devastating this turns out to be. It's still yet to be determined which engine that will be the most used next-gen.
It will likely either be Unreal 4 or another yet to be created engine that the Wii-U will also be incapable of handling

If Unreal Engine really does add more AI and software content of that field, then yes, a fix will be needed, but that's not impossible either. Nintendo themselves could create an add-on tool FOR FREE that converts or compresses to get these games on Wii U. Also, as an OPTIONAL upgrade they could also have a hardware addition that plays these games just as well as the other next gen consoles if needed. Who's to say soley the extra visual content matters without 4K, anyway?
We will truly have to see.
Please please pleaaasssseeee tell me I didn't just read this!!!! Do you base your hypothesis on any sort of evidence or is this all just sci-fi/fantasy land assumptions?

Ok, how about this, let the chips fall where they may. I don't think the Wii U will fail but by some chance it does Nintendo would still survive. Lets please not get so hyped up over stuff we knew was going to happen, like not having UE4. I understand we all love to speculate but there is a thin line between speculation and just complaining or practically rooting for Nintendo's failure. Sadly I have been seeing more of the latter. If you want to call me a fanboy for being annoyed when people go crazy about something we ALREADY KNEW WAS LIKELY TO HAPPEN, fine.
Nobody wants to admit that people who prefer MS and Sony can be just as biased as Nintendo fans. Nobody wants to entertain the possibility that the PS4 and Nextbox just MIGHT go through the same thing.
Well, when he says it won't be getting it I think he means by Epic. It'd be too much to put a full scale version of it on the console and so they won't. People are welcome to try, (like he said) but the best that can happen is scaled down versions of "epic" games.
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
Isn't that after having to slash their expectations in half in the first place. Also more to the point that he next iphone/gaalalxy will probably rump that 30 million in a week.
No kidding. The iPhone and the galaxy whatever are PHONES- phones tend to be viewed as slightly more of a "need" than a pure video games console, regardless of what we as gamers may think.
You've been bested, my friend. And for everyone else once again calling the doom and gloom down upon Nintendo, you'd do well to get out there and do a little research into the company as a whole rather than just its Wii U division. And as I've said many times before, most gamers own more than one console and/or a gaming PC. If you only own a Wii U, I do hope that you have a young family who won't much mind the absence of these games that run the Unreal engine, or that you're ok with pretty much playing first-party Nintendo titles. For many people, what I described is just fine. If some of you are as dedicated a gamer as you try to come off on the forums, then you're whining over nothing- you most probably will own one of the other two consoles and/or a PC no matter what. Play your Nintendo consoles for the awesome exclusives and crazy innovation; play the others for all the other cool stuff.
So, basically, he's saying again what he mentioned a few months back, I just don't know why he would phrase it like he did on the article that started this "mess". So yea, the engine runs on the console, it's just a matter of the developers wanting to port their games or not.
What a lemon, why didn't he say in the first place instead of insulting the Wii-U?
Unfortunate as it is, that seems to be the attitude of most game developers nowadays (at least in the West). A quote from someone I met online who tried to get into the video game industry compared it to the following, "It's like going back to high school, and you're the new kid".

If you think real life is fanasy land, than yes. Truth is, the consoles are probably gonna be alot more neck and neck this time. There's always a 'weaker' console. PS2 was weaker, Xbox 360 was weaker(though it made no difference), and Wii was even weaker.
It made no difference, all the next gen consoles from the three will exist.
Nintendo went motion last time in a different market, which means they weren't directly competing. Nintendo's back in HD and overall improvements. The Wii U is more efficient, powerful, and smaller than PS3, and Sony STILL can't shrink the PS3 down to a Wii size.
