What Nintendo advertising department needs right now is to spread rumors of Wii U hype up power performance. The Wii U is getting hit left & right as not that powerful of a game console. It had some effects on gamers. The Wii U needs something like this even if it's just rumors.
You got to question the validity of this Frostbite 2 testing. Why would DICE test it on the Wii U when (except for Disney now) it's sole client is EA? EA ended everything with Nintendo as of the end of 2012. The Wii U still got Need for Speed: Most Wanted U made by Criterion & published by EA cuz it's part of the original line up of games published by EA for the Wii U before the situation with Nintendo went sour. EA will not be publishing games for the Wii U anymore yet it's main developer still taking shots on Nintendo. The main purpose of this is to hurt Nintendo & the Wii U.
@SCAR392 Frostbite is the best game engine out there (except probably the Crysis game engine which I can't say for sure cuz I don't play Crysis or sci-fi FPS). The main games I played run of Frostbite. I also played Far Cry games which I think has one of the worst game engine. Frostbite is even better than Black Ops 2 game engine which I also play on PC. Frostbite used up lots of juice though. I'm using 2 EVGA GTX 680 SC on SLI & it hits up higher on MOH 2010 than when I'm playing Black Ops 2. I'm not particularly impressed with the old Unreal engine on MOH 2010 SP which I think is the worst among game engines. Not sure of the very latest Unreal game engine that Mozilla was testing on it's Firefox browser.
Of course DICE will say it's not enamoured of the result. DICE had a long partnership with EA & was the one who created the MP part of EA's MOH 2010 as will as the one in charged of creating the Battlefield franchise. DICE basically is EA's main game developer. It's common knowledge that EA hates Nintendo. The one who wrote this article need to get his head hit with a hammer.

@millarrp It didn't take long for somebody to port Virtual Console games on IOS. I even got games from the Old Nintendo Game & Watch on my iPhone. Even the game Mappy (part of the Namco Museum 50th Anniversary that I was so addicted on playing on my old Nintendo game console way back in the late 80s when I was in college) was long been on Apple's game inventory.
@UnseatingKDawg Fortunately those Sonic games you like to play you can also get on your iPad. They've been there for a long time. I seem to wonder why you don't know about this when you said you have an iPad which also runs on iOS. Did you ever care typing the word "Sonic" on your iPod's App Store app search section?
The Wii U Virtual Console is nothing close of revolutionary. It might have been if it comes before the era of mobile gaming. You can get the same type or even better games on smartphones/tablets for free. The only people getting so excited of it are those people who doesn't own smartphones/tablets & still stucked playing mobile games on portable consoles like 3DS.

iPad/iPad both run on iOS. It doesn't matter which one you got if you really have then you know that those Sonic games you like you can get on it.
