No massive surprise. Expected a Wii U version though...

Why?

It'd only be reasonable for a WiiU version if SE was making it for 360/PS3. But since it's next gen, there's no way it should be for WiiU.

Having said that, making KH3 next-gen is incredibly stupid. Why did they not make even one Kingdom Hearts game for either system this generation? Of all the stupid decisions Square has made, this has to be up there among the top.

No doubt a large number of KH Fans are now on Nintendo systems, because that's where the games have been going lately. And it doesn't look particularly intensive (and there's the fact plenty of other games last gen went to the Wii despite it being far weaker relatively), so I would imagine a Wii U version would sell far better than a Xbone version. 

And yes, it's silly going next-gen. Because if it launches next year you're going to have an install base of around 12mil compared to around 8x that if you include the previous gen (or double that if you include the Wii U).

Though I agree with you on the Wii U argument, I don't think that S-E is going to release KH3 in the next two years. Knowing Nomura and S-E recent record, and the fact that they're working on both FFXV and KH3 simultaneously, I'd expect a 2015 - 2016 window for both games to come out. 

That'll probably give both the PS4/Xbox One a good consolidation time for a rather larger and growing installation base. The same goes for the Wii U as well too.
