A recent rumor suggests that an employee from Crytek got their upcoming shooter Crysis 3 up and running on the latest Wii U dev kit.

This rumor comes from NeoGAF, so take it with an extra grain of salt. If true, it goes against the reports that Wii U is only marginally more powerful than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, at best.

Crytek aren't developing a game for Wii U, but this lone employee allegedly got a single level of Crysis 3 running on Wii U at roughly 30-35 frames per second in 720p HD. Worth noting is that the level was supposedly running on high textures, xpaa filtering, no water shaders, and ultra level lighting.

The tablet controller was also streaming content at 480p, and according to this rumor Crysis 3 would be capable of running in full 1080p HD if tablet streaming was turned off.
