It would do very little for the Wii U, honestly.


Yes but the game would still probably sell well.

Considering how about half of the Kingdom Hearts series had its debut on Nintendo platforms, and the Wii U will likely be more receptive of the game than the XOne, no. That would make too much sense for Square Enix.

In all seriousness, I doubt any version of Kingdom Hearts 3 can be released this quickly. That said, if their work on the Wii U versions of Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, along with their describing a top-name publisher, it could easily be in the vague "Action-Adventure-RPG" genre. They have the experience for that. Also, Mass Effect 3 was a launch title and Human Revolution was a Director's Cut that came out at the same time for multiple platforms, so its is probably a game coming out later this year. True, the Mass Effect Trilogy was also out around that time, but that seems more like EA being evil at last minute than anything else.

My Guesses:

  • Call of Duty - This series skipped the Wii U last year, but that didn't stop the series on the Wii after Modern Warfare was not released in 2007. If Activision feels a new release on the Wii U just this Q4, when the WIi U will be near its peak and the big multiplayer games from Nintendo have already been released for ages, they would consider it.
  • Metal Gear Sollid 5 - This qualifies as a AAA game, though Konami is barely a big name anymore. MGS5 is supposed to come out this year, and the game is already planned for 7th gen consoles. The WIi U version could just be a port of the PS360 version, but that was what happened with the other Tantalus games for the Wii U.
  • Star Wars Battlefront - EA wouldn't like to do this, but if Disney decides that they want their Big New Game that comes out at the same time as their BigNew Movie, EA could concievably get somebody to port it. Frostbite 3 has not been on the Wii U before, but like with MGS5, Frostbite 3 already runs on the outdated PS360 hardware.
  • DmC - It's getting a "Definitive Edition" like Human Revolution did, is a big name from a big publisher, and Capcom at least supports the Wii U sometimes.


Love and tolerate.

doesn't sound right. if i remember right there is debate over whether Wii U even supports DirectX.

now a KH3D port for the Wii U i could potentially see happening.

It will be a game that's all ready been out on other systems that people no longer care about,probably

As for your second point, the most likely explanation would be Nintendo throwing money at SE (similar to MS with FF13) :p I don't personally think KH3 is the rumored AAA title, but weirder things have happened. 

Fair enough, Nintendo's money is better spent on Dragon Quest XI, but lets agree to disagree.

Also, the developer said that the game is set to release this year, and I believe we all agree that KHIII is not coming out this year.

btw guys, graphical detail doesn't really show how technically demanding a game truly is.

I never said there isn't a correlation, just that your assumption is baseless. There is no reason to believe that KH3 and FFXV will equally push the PS4, and that if the latter cannot be scaled for a less powerful platform the previous also cannot. Especially in today's age of very scalable games. Both games have different art-styles, different world sizes, and likely many other different features. Production values tell us nothing about how much a system will be pushed to its limits, other than the developer/publishers have the potential to. 

How can my assumption be baseless if there is a correlation.  If there is some sort of correlation then that automatically means my assumption has some merit behind it, I mentioned those other factors.  Anyway I specifically said they would need to downgrade the game on Wii U.

Because you don't know if the graphics will push the PS4. That is why its baseless. The production costs can be high for other reasons. I thought your argument was that it couldn't run on Wii U, even if it were downgraded.

Consoles don't use APIs, as far as I recall. The code is made for a specific closed platform.

How well it sells in comparison to the X1 version will say a lot.

I think most people agree itll be close(due to the US) but wii u has japan so that might push wii u pass.

No it is not, stop dreaming.

Even if it came to the wii u it will never outsell the ps4 version ?
Xbox one is debatable

There are far more ps4 sold than wii u . Kingdom hearth is just more a playstation game , just like final fantasy

Then why are they both not exclusive then.

The reason why final fantasy 13 sold well on xbox 360 was because of all the ps2 owners who bought it,

now since ps4 is more sexy in terms of potential and rpgs then they went back to ps4.

Wii U has more Fans for Kingdom Hearts trust me

We Nintendo Fans also love Cartoony games so there is that :P

XD

Sounds like you're spouting BS.
