If you picked up Nintendo’s latest console offering the Wii U and are a fan of the Metro series, don’t expect to see a Metro game on the console…ever. Metro: Last Light developer 4A Games slapped Nintendo right across their already chapped butt cheeks, by calling the console’s CPU “horrible”.

Speaking to NowGamer, 4A Games Chief Technical Officer Oles Shishkovtsov, shared his very blatant thoughts about Nintendo’s newest console by stating, “‘The Wii U has a horrible, slow CPU”. Fellow 4A games employee Huw Benyon echoed the same response saying that they had hoped to work something out with the console, but the impact on the overall quality “wasn’t worth pursuing”.

The Wii U debuted here in North America on November 18th and so far it has been met with mostly negative reviews including reports of lag issues, a huge day one update that had potential to damage the Wii U if the download is interrupted, and poor graphic output.

Not really surprising. They shifted gears with the Wii and I don't see them coming back anytime soon. They had to go with lower end hardware to meet the price point they have.

At least it's HD and a step up for the genre of games that frequent the Wii. If you want to play top of the line, graphically intensive games buy a PC.
