Topic: Tantalus is porting a AAA game to the Wii U

I actually don't have too many ideas about the game for Wii U, but I think the game being ported from Wii U to One/PS4/PC is likely to be an exclusive Wii U indie game, since all major exclusive like Bayo 2 have been funded and published by Nintendo (luckily). Something like Scram Kitty or Stealth Inc 2. The only thing that worries me is that Nintendo doesn't actually own the IP's for its third-party exclusives, so, as unlikely (and painful) as it sounds, it may be Devil's Third. Remember that "Devil's Third Online on Steam" leak?

Nah... Everyone is guessing its Tantalus' Funky Barn going to Xbox, PS4 and PC.

Devil's Third is being published by and developed under the supervision of Nintendo. It's in the same boat as Bayonetta 2 and Lego City Undercover.

Exactly. Thank you.

A few possibilities...
Which games does it looks likely to grace the Wii U...a Non M Rated...and not a Hardcore...hmmm...Kingdom Hearts?less likely. Minecraft ? Definately fits the bill but I don't think that is ever gonna happen...Now this one looks interesting... Guitar Hero??? Rock Band? Sounds good to me...fits the bill, looks likely...IDK...

IMPORTANT : It is important for people to know that the title is a Non M rated and NOT HARDCORE. Has been mentioned by the studio’s director of development Joss Ellis in an interview.

@RR529 Destiny wouldn't be a one time port though. It would require a lot of updating agre release, I can guarantee Bungie isn't doing that, and I don't see it being with the investment for this developer. The other aren't AAA either, which I think takes them out of the equation.

Yeah, yeah, I know, and if the both of you read my post carefully you'd have noticed the "exclusives like Bayo 2 being funded and published by Nintendo" (which obviously includes Devil's Third) and that's why I said it's highly unlikely and after all, it's better that way, we don't want to lose our exclusives. However, my point was: Itagaki owns the IP and a leak says a game called Devil's Third Online is on the way to Steam, so there might be a slight chance a spin-off of sorts (or just the online part) make it to other consoles. Actually it's that Steam leak that makes me worry, otherwise I would've never even thought it would be on other consoles. But these are only speculations, and obviously I hope I'm wrong. Time will tell
About the game coming to Wii U, the only thing that comes to my mind and fits the description is The Crew: multiplat, non-mature and advertised as an AAA game (though actually it seems the quality doesn't match the promises). Again, I hope I'm wrong

Guitar Hero seems likely now they've announced a new game in the series is in development.

Guitar Hero doesn't seem like a ''big'' project to me. Not bigger than Deus Ex or Mass Effect at least.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Pokken

I really think it's Square Enix. I know I keep saying it but that's my best guess. Its either FF 13 Trilogy for Wii U or Kingdom Hearts collection.

Lets face it. It could be bleeding anything lmao!

Damn, that's a good guess, it's only an Arcade game right now. I'm hoping Bamco does that one in-house with Ninty's supervision, though.

My guess...I'm not sure. It can't be a next-gen game, because there isn't a single notable, sub-M-rated, non-Sports, AAA game on the PS4 and Not-PS4 that isn't published by Sony or Microsoft...that just leaves PC, last-gen, and maybe Arcade. If it's last-gen, I doubt it'd be their biggest game yet. If it's PC, I'm not versed enough in the platform to make any guesses. If it's somehow an arcade game, it'd have to be one attached to a big-name IP...

Pokken would be strange since not only does Bandai Namco have plenty experience of working with the Wii U in-house (Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Project Treasure, Smash Bros among others) but you'd think it's a project Nintendo would heavily supervise given it's their IP.

Well Pokken fits the description. Arcade port, bigger than Deus Ex and not a mature game. The only other thing I can think of is the Wii U is getting Ultra Street Fighter 4 and the PS4 is getting Monster Hunter 3. Anything else is like pinning the tail on the donkey

Well there's Destiny, but I find that unlikely because of the reason Jaz posted. Also, I would call it a "hardcore" game. Though I guess there's some wiggle room for interpretation in "not a MA/18 rated or hardcore game."

Eroges deconfirmed, I guess.

God I hope your right I would love either of those to come to the Wii U and in a perfect world both would come.

I think Kingdom Hearts collection would be received very well for Wii U but FF 13 Trilogy? Oh, man.... Lol

Doubt it will be anything amazing honestly.
