The other 2 Arkham games were all rated T. And Arkham Knight was just rated M this week so maybe, but I have my doubts. I need to fail down my expectations to something more plausible. OR TAKE MY HYPE TO THE BALLS END OF THE EARTH AND HOPE ITS SHENMUE HD!

(it's so not shenmue anything no matter how much I convince myself that the tech demo from e3 2011 was from a now canceled shenmue remake, port or 3)

based on Sega's recent announcement Shenmue is officially off the table at this point I would think. With good reason, talk about a game that is all hype, well deserved hype maybe but way over rated.

I think we need to take a step back here and think about what is potentially viable here, even after a year of being in the works.

Obviously, a PS4/xBone port is going to come out after the initial release, but it also needs to be something that the publishers legitimately think has staying power on Wii U. What sort of game would that be?

It's a port of the PS3/360 port of Rayman Legends.

Star Wars is the only thing I can legit think of. The IP always does well on Nintendo systems ever since forever.

Star Wars does tick all the boxes. Not a mature franchise, sales potential, Disney insisting on wide support, this developer having worked with EA before.

I hope its the same Star Wars game the other two get and not a watered down port or worse just a Lego Star Wars HD Remake.

Not new info:


     While this mystery project will release on PS4 XB1 and PC, it should be noted that the port will most likely be a version of the PC. I don't know if that helps but I'm pretty sure that excludes this game being DESTINY since there is no PC ver.


    Also a new Star Wars: Battlefront trailer is expected this week since GDC is starting in a few hours. Did a little bit a
e-slouthing and it looks more like this is the game. However, since I have no solid info I will reframe from calling this a lock. Still in the dark about the port out.

Battlefront makes the most sense but I'm still skeptical of EA and the fact that it would be an unreleased game coming to Wii U.

Which is weird because UI on that game screams "PC mouse", from what i can tell by the videos.

Yeah yeah I know it's Kuchera, but hear me out on this. What if Bungie and Activision announce PC and Wii U ports at the same time??

Possible. Forgive me for talking out my ass but it seems much harder to port a game to Wii U from PS/XB. Optimizing code for the Wii U and PC simultaneously may be the smarter more efficient way. Plus 10,000,000 consoles shipped may have been the threshold bungie brass were waiting for. Lastly, if destiny is really a 10 year game (bullshit but I'll play ball) a few months on the late port won't hurt much

I was close to buying it on 360 so a Wii U port of Destiny would be a cool perk for me.

I have it on PS4, its a pretty good game I don't get what the hate is but it would be a good fit for Wii U I think. Star Wars would be better but who is to say that isn't also coming just from a different studio? Maybe the Wii U's fortunes are actually going to turn around after all?

Talking about Shenmue, I wonder what the chances are we'll ever get a port of that Yakuza 1/2 HD release?  SICK BURN!

[Uh, cuz that series is basically Shenmue, really.]

Oh yeah, I know I have 2 sealed copies of that game.   1 is for trading.  But people who collect Amiibos?  They really have a problem!

Why are you skeptical?  Maybe EA was required to make a Wii U version by Disney's demand and they didn't want to spend internal resources to work on it.  So they gave it to the studio that did a more than competent job on a couple of their previous games that they released on Wii U even with low sales.

Rock Band 4 is out of the question and that's an EA published title so if they weren't planning on bringing over a casual game to the WII U I doubt they are willing to bring over Starwars.

My best guess would be the new Guitar Hero game that will be announced at E3.
1.  Tantalus never worked with Activision meaning it would be an new publisher for them so it's a step up from Square/Enix.
2.  it's a casual game that targets the core of WII U owners.

I would hope not. I think we can all agree the Wii U doesn't need any more peripherals.

It doesn't need to. Just reuse your Wii peripherals.

They could include drumstick shaped styluses so you could play right on the GamePad.

The lack of multi-touch on the GamePad screen means it wouldn't really work as a GH/RB instrument.

And that would also be a horrible idea - maybe fun for loading screens or something. You could also play the Guitar Hero (at least 1 and 2) games with a regular controller.
