Soulcalibur 2 HD could get post-release content or Wii U version if demand is there

"Right now, Namco Bandai has no plans for post-release content or a Wii U version of its upcoming HD remake of Soulcalibur 2. Instead, the team is focusing on getting the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network versions out the door with updated graphics and a robust online system. But just because it's not currently in the works, doesn't mean it's not in the cards. If there's a demand, anything is possible.

At a pre-TGS event, we asked the developers if it would be possible for there to be some sort of post-release content for the HD remake. It wouldn't be the first HD rerelease to get DLC that wasn't available for the original--Age of Empires II's HD remake was followed by totally unique DLC--and there have been plenty of characters added to the Soulcalibur franchise since SC2 came out a decade ago. We were told that, if the game does well, it's definitely a possibility.

But there's one character that couldn't be added to the 360 or PS3 version of the game: Link. The Hylian hero was exclusive to the GameCube version, but as of now, there's no Wii U release in the works. When the developers were asked about a Wii U version (and, of course, the ability to add Link back into the game), we were told that it could happen if Namco Bandai sees a demand. They even suggested an outlet for the demand, saying that gamers could spam the producer's Twitter (@hoshino_calibur) if they're interested. In other words: Wii U owners, get to it!"

Yeah, I'll admit it, I sent a tweet.  Getting tired of devs saying they might throw us a bone if we grovel enough, though.

So Nintendo fans are dogs now, eh Namco/Bandai...



These fu**ers can suck my balls.



I'll make a fake account to send 2 tweets. They're gonna do it. I think they just don't want The Wii U version to over shadow the others the way the gamecube version did. I love the way they handled link



An HD version of 2? The one that was popular on the GameCube by the inclusion of Link?



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

The one that outsold the Ps2 and Xbox versions... but you, know, there might not be any demand.  I mean, it's not like the comments section on every article about it has a bunch of people saying "No Link, No buy" or anything.

Yeah. There's no demand.

If Namco expect us to beg for it, they better go to sit waiting for that to happen.

I'm not too proud to beg on this one, lol.  I can actually see it from Namco's point of view, theyt released a good version of Tekken Tag (with extra content) on the system at launch and no one bought it.  This is a very different case, though.
