THQ Nordic Reconfirms Darksiders: Warmastered Edition for Wii U

Aw man can not wait for this!

Still not finished 2 but still want this

Yes! There is a God! Thank you THQNordic. I've had this pre ordered since it was first made available.

Do you abandoned Darksiders on Wii U. I'm not a grammar nazi but come on... haha

I've had this on preorder since August, and kept it open with the slim hope it would still release. For £14.99 I'll keep it open as long as necessary. They better not make it a US only retail release like has been the case with some other Wii U releases (I'm looking at you Shantae!). I'm really not into digital games.

i want it at 60fps no matter what platform it's on. i doubt the switch can do that tho'.

Great news. Dark zelda on steroids

I loved number 2.
This is an instabuy for me on WiiU!
Who said Zelda was the only game left on Wii U.
Great news.

I emailed them a few weeks back asking about this. They replied straight away saying it should be released in March at some point.

I'll buy it if it's on switch.

I believe it when I see it! Personally I find it very hard to believe that it is still coming to Wii u.

But if it happens I definitely buy it (if I can get it at Retail)!

Great to hear it's still coming but that confirmation would have been helped by an actual retail release date. Also, how about THQ Nordic take a little time and patch the crashes in Darksider's II Wii U (I don't need everything fixed, just the system crash bugs). I like the game but it has crashed on me soo many times that I'm having trouble completing it. I know it's an old title but it would be a nice gesture for the Wii U fans who'll be buying Darksiders Warmastered.

I applaud their dedication to keeping their promise to Wii U fans, but at this point it'd be better for them to just port it over to Switch, and they know it.

I'll definitely get it once it releases, but it might have to wait on the shelf until I finish BotW

I was a faithful supporter of the Wii U, i'm still playing the system till early March. If the game got released in January or even this week I would have made time to play the game until the Switch came out.

Will go alongside Bayonetta as my only 1 & 2 (disc set) for the system.

I preordered this ages ago. With the Switch on the horizon I tried to cancel it a couple of weeks back, but Amazon wouldn't let me as it made up the free p&p with another item. It's only £15, but I get the feeling by the time I get it, the Switch may have already taken my interest.

Enjoyed the second one when I got it with Humble Bundle. Looking forward to this so hope they push forward with it

I hope there will also be a port for The Switch.

It's good that the Wii U version is still coming. THQ Nordic can be proud to say they released the last physical Wii U game.

@Toph6661
I burst out laughing at this

@KiWiiU_Freek BOTW is the last game from Nintendo on WiiU

Unfortunately I bought Darksiders for X360 but I might still buy the Wii U version if this version offers something new.

Interesting. Darksiders II was among the first big 3rd party titles titles to hit Wii U, and now its predecessor will be among the last.

I have it pre ordered can Nintendolife not contact them?

I wonder if it's coming to switch also and there going to release them at same time

I can't believe I will be picking this up after the Switch comes out. I don't know what went wrong in order for them to miss the 2016 Xmas release date, but it was a real shame since there were really nothing to buy on Wii U at that time.

I think it would be worth their while to release the two games on one cart for the Switch.

It makes sense that they wouldn't scrap the game when it was almost completed. I'm still not totally convinced that it will actually be released though, but I will get it if it does get a retail release.

If does still get a retail release, I'll buy it day one!

As a Nintendo fanboy who's spent the last 5 years aggressively demanding/desperately pleading for third party Wii U ports, even I think this is pointless. If it sells badly, which it's 100% guaranteed to do, that may put them off a Switch version. They should just cancel it and bring 1 and 2 both to Switch ASAP. Sales potential and ease of development on Switch makes the Wii U version not worth it at all. Ya know what, screw it, make Darksiders 3 Switch exclusive while you're at it, and release a trilogy box set. (lol)

I appreciate their effort in bringing this to Wii U and making sure it's not a bad port but this was needed at the start of the Wii U's life. Pretty much worthless now (no offence to the people who want it but I don't think you're very numerous lol).

@Kolzig Until Ubisoft announces Just Dance 2018 is coming to the Wii U... and the Wii too! Hoo!

May as well move it to Switch.

I've never played this series, so if they release it I'm willing to give it a try. My Wii U will remain hooked to my TV as long as its the only place where I can play Bayo 1, Bayo 2 and XCX.

Well, I know I'm still buying it.

May be the last Wii U game I buy ever.....😭

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if they're "quietly" porting it to the Switch, or if they decide to stick to a cheaper digital-only release. It makes no sense to release a retail version now. Unlike the last-gen platforms, the Wii U has almost no momentum left.

Cool, but they gave everyone who owns the original on PC a copy of this for free, so I'll stick with that.

@PorllM
At this point, I'm pretty sure they KNOW it'll sell bad. It's probably a Retro City Rampage situation where they're still making it as a gift for Wii U owners. No idea why their publisher would allow that though.

Good to see there's at least one more retail game coming for the Wii U other than Zelda.

Sure interested in a physical release.

I was too impatient to wait I brought the PS4 version, still great to see its coming to Wii U.

Maybe a Switch version will be on the cards?

Good news to me.

THQ Nordic really has their finger on the pulse, huh?

Hope it does well but it would be shocking. I'd love to have both on Switch.

Day 1

exactly what is the point of releasing it on Wii U this late? Just put it on the Switch now, only way it will get sales.

I contacted THQ a few weeks back as I have this on Pre-order. I got the following email reply -

"We plan the release for end of march, but haven´t annouced it to the public so far.

Kind regards,
THQ Nordic"

@Luna_110 Highly recommend Darksiders 1.

I will be picking this up on WiiU. 2 was great.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE +1! So relieved they still work on it.

@hYdeks Well at this point there are more Wii U owners than Switch. By the time Switch has sold 13m consoles, this game will have been out for years.

I'll buy this as a thankyou to the devs!

I am playing the second one on WiiU, so if they release it I will still buy it.

Thanks to NL for covering this, had figured it was canceled by now. I don't understand why Nordiq has a twitter account, has this game coming out next month, but they don't let people know it's still coming since it was delayed back in November. They can probably sell more copies if they keep reminding people about it.

Yes I am. I'm not in the switch train yet.... No compelling reason to switch

..it's still coming!..more like Brightsiders..

I'm guessing they will release a switch version as well then. thats where i will be playing it for sure.

I had issues with Darksiders II, but the world is interesting and I'd love part 1, so yes, definitely getting this.

Port it to the Switch!

Nice!
As long as it's not too expensive, this could be the last game that I buy for my Wii U.

I'll definitely buy on Wiiu if it's still released.

If they're smart they should do a dual release for the Wii U and Nintendo Switch

Of course I want it and I will buy it day one!

Pre-ordered ages ago, keep gettign annoyed at Amazon telling me they is no release date. game looks really cool and great to have another wiiu title.

A Switch version would be nice also.

While I already got this on Steam from a free upgrade when I bought the bundle, I'm glad it's still gonna be available for Wii U.

THQNordic have been really great as a publisher. They haven't just bought up a bunch of old franchises and re-released them, they enhance them and often give them free to people who bought a license already.

They did a great job on Titan Quest and Darksiders for PC, as well as Legend of Kay for Wii U.
