>5pb
I would love to have any of his X;Y games on the WiiU. I know it most certainly wouldn't come out in the US, but that would be cool anyway.
Hashino, after you teamed up with the Blazblue guys for Persona 4: Arena I doubt the next collaboration you make will be THAT surprising
So the only concrete wiiu related info seems to be that the weird hentai game could be on the console?
Well, the Wii U GamePad does have rumble.
Dragon's Crown port plz! Or a new Vanillaware game. I will be there day one.
New Persona game!? Awesome! It's feels like forever since Persona 4 came out!
