The only thing I can think of for the PS4/XBO port of a Wii U game that actually makes sense is Lego City. It's the only one I think of that would actually pay off financially. The Lego brand, and it's games, are big on all 3 consoles. And open world games are all the rage. So, a Lego open world game would sell quite nicely on the PS4/XBO.

As for the port to Wii U, not really sure. Destiny may be right, given that is is their "biggest thing" they have ever worked on. It does seem like it would take a bit more resources and time to get a online shooter the scale of Destiny to work on the Wii U, at least compared to something like Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex. Or maybe they are handling a port of Batman: AK. Maybe rated Teen for Wii U.

Lego city has nintendo's funding.

Maybe it is a port of Final Fantasy 15. They never stated it was on a game that is released or not yet, and Final Fantasy is a AAA franchise. If so, I would be so fucking happy.

I think the "next-gen" in the job listing doesn't necessarily mean that it's based on a PS4/X1 games, it could simply mean that it's on a 8th gen platform.


A Portal game on Wii U could be great with reworked puzzles for dual-screen play (1 player) or local coop on both screens.

The Puzzle Maker is simple enough to work on the GamePad.

And they also searched for people with Wii experience, Wii Remote + Nunchuk controls for one player in coop would be nice, too.

Gabe Newell said some positive things about the Wii U a few years ago and he likes Nintendo games.

I wouldn't mind double-dipping with Portal1+2 for some gamepad coop experience.

So can we say the wii u port is stealth inc 2?

It could be.

But why would a small, indie UK based developer like Curve Digital hire an australian studio to make the port when they could do it?

well we dont really know if they could, like you say, they're a small indie based dev.   could be creaing another game and just need some sales of stealth inc to keep funding it.

True.

But working on that port would make them learn how to work with those consoles, so they could make their next game for all platforms from the beginning.

Maybe once all is taken into account (cost of dev. kits, wages, bills, etc.) it's cheaper to hire Tantalus than making it by themselves? Who knows.
