Wii U’s “graphics are fantastic” says GameStop CEO

In an interview with GameSpot, GameStop CEO Paul Raines discussed about how impressive the Wii U was among other things. He had a chance to play with it at E3, and left impressed by the console.

“We’re excited about Wii U. We think Wii U is going to be a very significant part of the holiday period. If you played the games at [the Electronic Entertainment Expo], it’s pretty cool. I went upstairs and played Pikmin for like an hour with the tablet and the controller, and it’s pretty cool. I mean, the rendering, the graphics are fantastic. So I think Wii U is exciting; we’re eager to get started on the launch and we’re doing a lot to plan for that.”

Add Paul Raines to the ever growing list of supporters for Nintendo’s next-gen console.
