Big-name 3rd party games skipping Wii U
What is going to hit the Wii U in early 2013? We know of some games, but it seems like most big-name third party titles are skipping over the platform. Here are some heavy-hitters that are passing up Wii U.
Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel
BioShock Infinite
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Crysis 3
Dead Island Riptide
Dead Space 3
DmC
Fuse
Grand Theft Auto V
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Metro Last Light
Remember Me
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Tomb Raider
Out of the games not hitting Wii U, here's the few that seem a bit more up in the air.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Release Date: 2013 (Not sure if early or late, to be honest) (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Coming to Wii U? "We can't confirm any info on the Wii U at this time," says a rep for Konami. (Whatever that means.)
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Release Date: February 19, 2013 (PS3, Xbox 360)
Coming to Wii U? We asked the game's producer, Yuji Korekado, at an event in Los Angeles last week. Here's the transcript:
Kotaku: Do you have plans to bring Revengeance to Wii U?
Korekado: No.
Kotaku: Why not?
Korekado: We really developed the game based on these two consoles [PS3, 360] and the Wii U, we think, is unique in a way that the controller is innovative and the entire console's pretty much not hand-in-hand with the consoles that we're making it for now. So if we were going to make it for the Wii U we'd have to start from zero again and really design something for that console, so we could say 100% that it was a good game for this console.
Kotaku: Could Wii U run the Revengeance engine?
Korekado: I haven't really tried it, so I'm not quite sure.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Release Date: Spring 2013 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Coming to Wii U? "The decision to bring a game to the Wii U will be made on a case-by-case basis," a Ubisoft rep told us. "We don't have any details to share at the moment."
