I don't know why people are saying it can't happen. StarCraft was on the Nintendo 64. Im sure the advances in the WiiU could accommodate StarCraft 2. Halo wars, Red Alert.... There have been other rts games on consoles.

Yes, they attempted them, but the reality is that the console's controls aren't best suited for doing RTS historically  Why do you think RTS doesn't sell well on consoles?

They aren't best suited yet still worked well with what they had at the time. Pretty sure a Tablet will change that, you could even use the tablet alone, hold down a trigger for the right click. If random people on forums can think something up I'm sure Nintendo and/or Blizzard can. They did for Diablo and now Diablo 3 too.

If this were to happen, would people stop labeling the pad as a gimmic? 


LOL Do you know how many button commands would be needed to make starcraft work on console? They would need a Keyboard.

Strategy games have been built up as exclusive games to PC since the 90's. It would take years to make it change. Diablo is the consoles best bet. Starcraft gameplay would require a much better connection and a keyboard. My roommate plays that game and the way he and his opponents bang on the keys? Yeah....no. LOL

I don't know about StarCraft II, but I would love to see an original RTS on Wii U. The GamePad would work very nicely.

As it stands I have 950 hours logged on SC2 and growing daily, a wii u version would just end any sort of hope for free time I may have had.


u would rather play a wiiU version?. if the pc version and wiiU version were connected through battlenet you would never be able to make it out of gold league.


Well they wouldn not be connected for one.... and I did not say I would rahter play it there, just that I would also do so, being able to play starcraft laying down in my bed would be a dream come true.

Seriously for the people defending the fact that it would be nice to be on wiiU or any console for that matter, are you guys joking lol you need a keyboard there's WAY too many commands to do.
