Christopher Marcil has started an online petition demanding Dark Souls 2 for Nintendo Wii U. Recently at VGA 2012, Namco Bandai and From Software announced Dark Souls 2 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, but nothing was said whether the game will launch on Wii U or not. So if you own a Wii U and wants to play Dark Souls II head on over and sign the petition.

In the petition Christopher Marcil listed numerous ways Wii U could benefit Dark Souls 2. "In many ways the WiiU could benefit the game, such as managing inventory on the touch screen without having to obscure the player's vision on the TV (the Souls games do not pause, so you must be able to pay attention at all times).

The affordability of a WiiU console compared to a gaming PC, and the free online play compared to Xbox Live fees on 360, make the WiiU version ideal for anyone who does not have or want a PS3."

Seems to entirely miss the point here. If From Software wanted to make it easy and safe for people to manage their inventory they would have put a pause function in the game. So putting the inventory management on the gamepad just gimps the game's difficulty factor. So Wii U version of Dark Souls 2 would be what... the soft cock's version?

The point in making inventory management the way they do is so that you have to find a safe place to play around with your inventory rather than doing it mid-battle or where enemies are in the viscinity and could spot you any time. Putting it on the gamepad defeats the purpose of the game's very deliberate design.

The cost things makes no sense. The only people who fall into the can't afford PC gaming rig/don't want to pay for XBL Gold / don't have or want a PS3 are...WIi owners. So bascially, bring Dark Souls to Wii U because that's the system Wii owners who are into hard and violent games will buy. Wow most revelatory! Should be good for about 100K sales.

I think Dark Souls should be on Wii U, because, well, why not? It's not like Wii U is so vastly different that it would be costly and high risk to make a Wii U version. Though perhaps Nintendo is trying to force everyone to make use of the game pad, and Dark Souls 2 really doesn't need game pad functionality.

I think FS might just do a double port at some stage. It's all well and good to moneyhat a sequal to make it exclusive, but Wii U really should get Dark Souls as well as Dark Souls 2.
