The simple reason why Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is not coming to the Wii U

For those wondering why Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is not coming to the Wii U, Dave Cox has explained that “it’s a resource problem”, and:

…if we would employ 300 people, then we would probably like a U Wii. – Vita or PS4 version do (laughs) We have to manage our resources very carefully … a team can in fact be too large.

And it’s still a shame. Castlevania: Mirror of Fate on the 3DS directly ties in with the Lords of Shadow storyline, so it would have made a lot of sense for the game to be on a Nintendo console.

The developer of this game is a spanish group and they are kind of small, is also possible that they don't even have Wii U development kits yet, so they don't know how easy/hard is to port their game, if later Konami is willing to let them try and the porting is easy enough (or if Konami gives the order directly) we can see the game announced, at least the Director is not unwilling to do it. Let the Kojima team work a bit with the kits (maybe port their Fox engine) and later we will see how that company is supporting Nintendo.
