Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bring Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 to Wii U Square Enix

Really? Gimped version complains? REALLY?!

In case you have all forgotten, Versus XIII was in production for the PS3 for six years before it got booted to gen 8. It was originally intended to run on 512 MEGABYTES of memory.

If anything, a Wii U version might be technically superior because it has sufficient eDRAM to run 1080p and Cerny--you know, the PS4's designer--has admitted that eDRAM allows for better throughput than the PS4's unified RAM pool.

Even assuming Square Enix is incredibly lazy and doesn't use the eDRAM at all, I have a hard time imagining the "gimping" being visible. More notably, however, is that gamepad. Even very crude porting will make it a much better menu than on the other systems.

So yeah, FF XV on Wii U. Don't think it'll happen, but it's still a great idea.

Kingdom Hearts 3? Psh. The Wii U won't even sweat.

Its hilarious that ps4 and xbox one fans are bashing each other all the time. But when it comes to wii u these two group join an "alliance" to bash wii u. BTW I am ps3 + pc gamer.

PS3 games ran on less than 512 MB of RAM. Keep in mind some of that RAM was dedicated to the OS.

Being a Sony supporter, I feel ashamed when I see that this thread's negativity started out only after a few replies down the OP and all have only trophy count sigs, can we please not be assholes about this?

Don't know about KH3 but if the wii u does get ff15 it will be gimped, due to the difference in specs.


I thought FF 15 was just FF versus that was supposed to be on PS3 with updated graphics? Wii U already demonstrated at E3 it can handle more than what the PS3 could.


I think the game is just next gen consoles x1/ps4.

Well you'll be 20 years old by the time FFXV comes out so you have time you save up.

That is actually true. Good point.

I find it funny they haven't announced a Wii U version. These games are a great fit for the console.

Yes, but FF 15 was a PS3 game. It then was ported to the PS4, meaning that they most likely just updated the visuals.
