Square-Enix thinks Wii U is great, seems like they could easily develop for it
A portion of a Game Informer interview with Square-Enix's Yoshinori Kitase...
GI: What are your thoughts on developing for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo’s Wii U?
Kitase: The Vita is a PlayStation platform that has a lot of similarities in the development process to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, so we think it will be an easy transition to start developing for it. There’s nothing to talk about on our end yet, though. With the Wii U, it’s great that there’s a high definition console from Nintendo on the market, which was previously lacking. As far as the specs are concerned, the Wii U seems like something we could develop easily for as well. Hopefully that becomes part of our multiplatform lineup, but we can’t be certain as of now.
