This wii u owner is being patient. I believe it has more then being said. I don't expect every big release of 2013 to get on wii u. That is being silly. Late ports? Maybe but for now I can wait. I am actually telling people here to wait and see because nobody has said some of these games aren't on there. And even ones ruled out for now haven't been denied for later.

The Wii U owner doesn't care about Dark Souls 2. If they did play Dark Souls on PS3 or 360, they'll buy #2 on that as well....

If that is the case, then Nintendo SHOULD co-publish GTA V and/or any other 3rd party multiplat release that others may be reluctant to publish (see Bayonetta 2 and Ninja Gaiden III.)

I signed the petition, although 100k is way too ambitious. I can't see this passing the 50k mark (and I think that's being generous). Sad because I think this game could be really good for the Wii U. 

Wont be signing this one. Anything that can hinder the amount of time I have to wait to get this game must be stopped Sorry:P I'm a selfish lover of the souls series. Plus ps3, 360 and PC are alot of opinions right there.

I will be buying this game for the 360 but I will sign the petition because its bullshit that any 3rd party games not be releasing for WiiU. The Nintendo community deserve to be playing the same 3rd Party games on ps3/360.

But really Dark Souls 2 is not the game to prove "hard core" sells on Nintendo. It's only a moderately popular game on its main platform to start with. I agree with someone upthread who says they'd sign a petition for GTA5. Now that's a hard core game with a large fanbase which could attract a lot of sales on Wii U. Probably won't win many converts from the other platforms, but hopefully the Nintendo hard core would get behind it and give it mutli-million sales.

DS2 should expand a bit on 360, but I dont think it'll get anywhere near PS3 numbers. And It's not just Japan that gave PS3 the edge with Dark Souls. Dark Souls sold considerably more on PS3 in North America. And considering the difference in install base that's huge even if the PS3 market was primed with Demon's Souls.

This has probably gone on too long already, but there is a point that needs to be made clearer.

- You are claiming that the inability to pause is a design flaw. Specifically this is a flaw for the offline player.

- But what is the function of the pause button in games akin to Dark Souls? It is simply to ensure that there can be no lives lost during a break in play for the player. Now let me ask you this, is it not possible to simply stand in a corner where you can't be spotted for as long as you like, thereby fulfulling the full purpose of the pause button? You can peacefully go to the toilet or have a joint or whatever and know for certain that you're still alive.

- If one wanted to pause a game mid battle, or after being spotted by the enemy, then:

1:The player might want to alter his equipment for the specific situation. This is clearly against the entire ethos of the Souls series, and it is much appreciated by the devout fans. (Of course you are not vying for this)

2:The player might want time to consider the best course of action. This is both unrealistic and again against the entire ethos of Souls. The fact that you have to ALWAYS be ready to fight IS THE VERY SUBSTANCE that gives these games life.

3:The player might want to catch his breath due to being caught off guard. This would take away the suspense of the game immeasurably.

But you're going to argue that these above 3 points are not what you are referring to. So now I ask you this, should a feature be implemented extraneously if it is implicitly possible to achieve without it's very presence!? Now you are the one causing difficulty, because there should be times where it's impossible to pause due to an enemy being alert to one's presence, or being mid battle, which would inherently changes the entire structure of the game and turn it into a mundane experience - but you're surely not referring to this.

The very fact that there is no pause button adds immensely to the game.

The game design is based around the tension of making it to the next bonfire. Pausing would break that because a bonfire is the only place one can truly feel safe. Just because you don't like that doesn't make it bad game design. 

Why do we need another sequel to a game which has never been on a Nintendo console? I thought about signing the petition but then I changed my mind. First of all I highly doubt this will change anything but more importantly I am sure this game will not sell on the Wii U. So I guess the developers know what they're doing.

If you played the first Dark Souls get the sequel on your PS360/PC.

I'd personally rather have some exclusives coming to Wii U which really make use of the Gamepad other than just putting an inventory on there (which IMO definitely is no USP for the Wii U version).
