Forums - Nintendo - Predict what game Tantalus is porting to Wii U

justiceiro on 05 March 2015

Hey, i just remenbered another possibility.

Its a sequel to a beloved game.

Its from a big publisher, the same one that would not publish another "mature" game on WiiU.

The game was supposed to come to last generation, but had to be postponed to next generation, what probably explain why the game would neeed to be redone for wiiu.

The creator alreadly made a game for wiiu in past, so its not impossible.

Probably its the only publisher that would release a game of this magnitude on WiiU.

Probably the only game that would take this long to be made for the console.

So, yeah, i believe that ubisoft is actually working to bring to WiiU Beyond Good and Evil 2.

It fits everything that both Tantalus and Ubisoft said, and Michael Ancel would probably be ok with it too. The downside is that probably means that zombiU is coming to other consoles too, or Rabbids land, but this is another discussion. But that would be my final guess.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Could be anything at this point.
Not holding my breath though.

...

...You fucking genious. Holy shit.

I doubt that ZombiU is being ported though, because frankly no one would buy it.

Brilliant. This is the only answer I've seen that fits all the criteria. And it would be so sweet if it happened.

On the topic of Ubisoft, I may have another possibility of what this game could be. It may be Ghost Recon Online/Phantoms. That game was being worked on for the Wii U alongside the PC version for a while. The PC beta came out in 2012, followed by a full release in April 2014. I theorize that when Ubisoft where finishing the PC version, they handed the somewhat worked on Wii U build to Tantalus to work on. While I couldn't find a rating for this game, I do know that not all Ghost Recon games were rated M so this one could fall under the not mature category. This all happened before CEO Yves Guillemot said no more mature games after Watch Dogs. I'm not sure if its a particularly big game though so I may be wrong.

Well, the game recieved a 16 rating on europe, what i think it translate as a mature. Its a arena shooter, mostly a hardcore core title if you ask me.

Though if that is the case, what is  Square Enix waiting to announce it? The collections have been released the year after the reveal, why would this get a different treatment? Not only that, but for which console would it even be? Kingdom Hearts 3D has the Dream Eaters and playing with them, as one of the focuses of the game, without a touch screen, it wouldn't work, so the only fit would be Wii U, and only releasing it on Wii U without the collections would look quite bad. 

Yeah, there is no sense to release them in a console that is not getting KH3, but Nintendo consoles has still being home to half of the Kingdom Hearts series, there is a fanbase there, a fanbase that has missed the collections, and that even though are not receiving KH3, should still receive the collections for being part of what has made Kingdom Hearts what it is.

But there's never been a Kingdom Hearts game on a Nintendo console. The Kingdom Hearts fanbase has been conditioned to own a Sony console and a Nintendo handheld. There really shouldn't be any Kingdom Hearts fans owning only a Nintendo console..

Um.. I have a Kingdom Hearts game on my gameboy advance.. and I'm pretty sure there are 2 on the 3ds..

I'm obviously talking about home consoles.
