All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? It’s another glorious day in the Corps and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has been talking up Aliens: Colonial Marines Wii U in an interview with theverge.com.
“The Wii U version has so much more to offer … no other platform can do what the Wii U can do. If you love 360 games, you are not used to being in a world where you have this new interface. But once you get used to that, you imagine the possibilities; there are some opportunities that are just not possible on any platform that does not have that device.”
Regular readers of Nintendo Gamer will be familiar with this line of chat about the Wii U controller from Pitchford. In this Randy Pitchford Aliens: Colonial Marines interview we posted a few months back he told us “We’ve been developing a number of interesting features using the unique capabilities of the controller and the hardware.”
However, in that interview he also said “Our hope at Gearbox is that the final specification for the hardware is much more powerful than the current competitive consoles.” Perhaps Pitchford’s latest rattling of the Colonial Marines Wii U sabre suggests that Gearbox have had their wish granted? Here’s hoping.
It may be that we won’t be nibbling our nails in nervous Wii U anticipation for much longer. Intheverge.com interview, Pitchford opined “I think it will not be too long [before] Nintendo opens up their kimono a little bit more about that platform and where it is going, we will be there right with them talking about how Aliens is using it.” Let’s hope it’s not Reggie that’s opening up his kimono. *shudders*
