Having spent several hours with the Wii U and about a dozen games for it, I have seen zero evidence that the graphics of even their first party titles outshine the best of current gen consoles.

Buy Nintendo hardware becasue you like Nintendo games and/or interesting innovations/gimmicks. Don't buy Nintendo hardware if you are looking for impressive graphics or an otherwise notable A/V presentation.

Come to think of it, I'm not convinced that the Wii produced any games that really stood head and shoulders above the best looking PS2/GCN/Xbox games. It seems to me the Wii U will probably be positioned similarly.

I think so, but not quite so bad as the Wii. The Wii U seems to be a bit more powerful for its time than the Wii was.

Good thing I pre ordered the deluxe edition at Gamestop the first day. I'll probably just pick up New Super Mario Bros U at launch cause the one for the Wii was a fucking blast playing with friends.

Well that's not what everyone in the media and all the reports are saying. I think I'll trust them until I see otherwise.

I've yet to see evidence that "everyone in the media and all the reports" suggest that the Wii U has games whose graphics look better than the best looking 360/PS3 games. I'm genuinely interested in you lining to some if you find any, as my experience with it was not one that impressed graphically...

no.

I stopped playing this game on the Wii because it won't get my input on the slashing...
I opened a thread in this forum about this topic and people said that they (developers) messed up this part , because it was easier to do it on the analogue stick on ps2

I can't even imagine how the paintbrush mechanic could possibly work better with a stick than with a pointing device.

You realize that Nintendo is promising better graphics than any other console on the market, right? So watered-down isn't quite the right word here. I think you're looking for "enhanced" port. Like many PS1 ports to the Dreamcast.
I am guessing that Nintendo was comparing its 2012 console to the 2005 console Xbox 360 when they said looking for "enhanced" ports.

I dont think they are talking about xbox 720 or ps4 which Would come out in the next 2 years or less.

Plus I think "enhanced" means different gameplay with the tablet, not better graphics.
