We all know the Wii isn’t the most powerful piece of hardware out there. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are more powerful, but Nintendo’s machine is still putting up a fight. Now Telltale Games has come into the picture and trashed the Wii’s horsepower because of some complaints that the Wii version of Monkey Island has some framerate problems.
A Telltale Games programmer going by the name of Yare on the forums had this to say: “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.”
Even after making such a wild statement, Yare still stands by it. He later posted: “And I stand by them. The Wii and DS are extremely underpowered and their popularity doesn't remove the hardware limitations.”
We knew they weren’t powerful, but I think saying it’s not as powerful as an iPhone is a bit extreme.
