Forums - Nintendo - The Walking Dead coming to Wii U in March

If you want to answer this question just ask yourself... which of those game belong to publishers that are really supporting the console and you may get a good guess. If it is from Ubisoft, Warner or Activision there is a very high chance that will also come to Wii U. All the other ones are only playing with the development kits and maybe for the second half of 2013 will start releasing games (if at all).

While I agree that chances are higher on games published by the publishers that are supporting the system well, I don't think you can include this instance.

This isn't an Activision game. It's a game by Terminal Reality (an independent studio), and Activision is merely publisher. There is no reason to think that Activision is in any way influencing decisions like "do we release on the Wii U".

And I'm not convinced, at this time, that Activision is "really supporting the console". They put Black Ops 2 on the system, but then, Treyarch also put all their CoD games on the Wii, too. They put 007 Legends on the system, but that'll be driven by the success of Goldeneye 007 on the Wii. The other titles are licensed titles (of which, one, the Transformers one, is the secondary version, with 360/PS3/PC getting a different Transformers game and the Wii U sharing an externally-developed version with the Wii, DS, and 3DS) and their routine "casual" games (like Rapala Fishing), except perhaps Skylanders: Giants, which is aimed at children. Given Activision's attitude towards the Wii, I remain skeptical that their support is anything more substantial than it was then. I'll be more convinced when we start seeing substantial games from Activision beyond Black Ops 2 and 007.

It looks pretty good if you ask me



Nobody seems to care. Is this going to sell anything?



Oh, it's gonna sale. The Walking Dead is huge. It just doesn't look like it's gonna be good.

What about the last Family Guy game ?

I'm sure many gamers appreciate its humor, but the sales are bad (which is okay since it's not a good game).

If there is no or next to no advertisement, the next the Walking Dead game will suffer a similar fate (if it doesn't turn out to be good).

Third party supported confirmed !

Can't explain it but the Walking Dead fanbase isn't the same as your typical fanbase for a successful movie or something.  They want every bit of info they can get.  From comics, to games, to TV shows, to discussions after the TV show.  It's a phenomenon on a fanatical level.  We'll see soon, won't we?  I think it will be like Enter The Matrix back in the PS2 days.  Universally panned and still a success just because of how big the franchise is, right now.



Wrong title. This game is for Wii, just look at the pics.

Please tell me this is for Wii.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Is it a good game on the other consoles? Kinda seems like a low-end cash in. I'm guessing this is not the same episodic content that others are raving about?



meh looks too yellowishorange something brown




    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

The art direction may not be great, but it's pretty obvious that the polygon count on the characters, cars, etc are way to high for those to be Wii screenshots.
