Supposedly it is their biggest project yet. They are also porting a Wii U game to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Any guesses what games they are porting? I don't have any idea what the Wii U will get but I think the PS4/XbOne/PC will get ZombiU or Funky Barn (I believe Tantalus owns the IP).

This is good and bad news... I hope the Wii U gains an amazing port and loses something not that big.

This is fantastic news! If we can get turantulas to program for us, just think of the productivity! I mean they got eight legs! That's...wait, that's less than the fingers we have...what am I talking about again?

The Tantalus guy said that the game the Wii U is getting is not a mature title and is from a top notch developer...

So everybody pretty much is thinking Square Enix and the FF 13 Trilogy for WiiU... Oh man...

But didn't Tantalus say the game will not be an Mature title in January 6?So take out many games out of the question,so what could it be?And about the other consoles getting Zombiu,if that happens then the developer will have to get rid of alot of features and it will lose it's uniqueness.That's sad but hey Wiu owners are getting a new third party game! So add one game to the short third party list released for the Wiiu.It might not be great but still it will be fun to see you guys get disappointed again and again and finally again. (Hmm weird i don't know why i like seeing Wiiu owners get disappointed by stuff like this.)

The Tantalus guy also said it's their biggest project so that means its bigger than Mass Effect 3 for Wii U. I own ME3 for Wii U and I love it. He also said its coming this year...

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think the Wii U is getting a FF 13 Trilogy... That's the only one I think fits. Unless, its a Tales collection....

If the Wii U is truly getting this huge and massive AAA port that's not a mature title and came from an absolute top notch publisher for this year... Then I'm thinking... Square Enix wants the Wii U to get some sort of Final Fantasy love which would be FF 13 trilogy. Or... Tales collection which sorta sounds possible. I actually hope its a Takes collection because FF 13 Trilogy for Wii U might not end well... But that actually sound most realistic because SE loves Lightning like crazy and wants more games released this year.

Square Enix!!! Please tell me you hired Tantalus to port a Kingdom Hearts collection to Wii U!!! Don't let it be FF 13 Trilogy!

If it's Final Fantasy XIII I'm going to lose it. And not in a good way.

My best guess right now would be Shadow of Mordor. Which I would totally buy on Wii U.

Tantalus said its not a mature game so Shadow of Mordor is gone. Man... I think its either FF 13 Trilogy, Kingdom Hearts collection or Tales collection.

The fact that it's not mature kinda hampers my excitement because I was hoping for Shadow of Mordor. A Kingdom Hearts or Tales collection would be pretty nice though.

I wonder who they could possibly mean? "Top-notch developer" doesn't ring any bells. At least not under the context of a bigger project than Mass Effect 3.

It means the publisher is credible and is giving the Wii U this massive game, I think. I honestly think Square Enix is behind this. If its not them then.... Tales collection.

I really hope its a Kingdom Hearts collection or a Tales collection but I just bet its FF 13 Trilogy.

The Wii U -> XBO/PS4/PC port is definitely not ZombiU. Ubisoft always does their ports in house, and the game is designed from the ground up with Gamepad integration. It also wouldn't be anything that Nintendo funded/helped develop, so that rules out Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover, The Wonderful 101, and Devil's Third. It's also unlikely to be the exclusive Sonic games.

Not really a whole lot of options. My best guess would be a game that Tantulus developed themselves, Funky Barn.

Assuming the game coming to Wii U is the same one they talked about last year, there's a few things to keep in mind:

  • It's not a MA/18 or "hard core" title like Deus Ex or Mass Effect.
  • It's a complete reworking, like Deus Ex, of a current gen AAA game under a major publisher.
  • It's their "biggest game yet."

Really want to keep expectations in check here, but what AAA games from major publishers aren't rated M? If the pubisher is Square Enix, I'd probably bite on whatever they sell me, unfortunately.

I can only imagine Square Enix and Namco doing this. Square Enix would do a FF 13 Trilogy or Kingdom Hearts collection. Namco is becoming so close to Nintendo that a Tales collection sounds possible.

But Square is terrible. And so are all their games after FFIX. Same goes for BamCo after ToG on Wii.

A FF 13 Trilogy on Wii U would be... interesting. Square Enix would do it because they love Lightning like crazy, want more games released this year, and prolly wants to see how the Wii U user base reacts to FF 13. I'm hoping for Kingdom Hearts collection but that's not likely. Possible but not likely. Then there's the Tales collection... which is kinda likely because of Nintendo and Namco's relationship.
