Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Not the first time Namco pulled this bullshit. Remember when Soul Calibur III was PS2-exclusive for no reason whatsoever? EDIT: After reading the news more carefully, it seems this is entirely based on the PS2 version (so, Heihachi for both PS3 and X360). It's possible that they might just consider a Link version of the game as a future release for Wii U. Edited July 20, 2013 by Jonnas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Soul Calibur II HD not confirmed for Wii U. what a mess. It's fucking bollocks! SC2 is my favourite SC game and one of the very few traditional fighting games I actually really like! Yeah, yeah, I can get it on either of the other two consoles I own, but I can't play it with my favourite character (Link) unless it's on Wii U (That's not to say that I don't love the game regardless, or that Cervantes or Yoshimitsu don't kick arse on their own - but man it's such a kick in the balls to have that big gaping hole in the character roster ) Nintendo really should think about moneyhatting Wii U ports of SC2 and TOS HD. Those games mean a lot to their audience! Not the first time Namco pulled this bullshit. Remember when Soul Calibur III was PS2-exclusive for no reason whatsoever?

Namco would have to pay to licence Spawn if they wanted him on the 360 version and nobody liked him anyway (Namco own Necrid though, so there's no issue there) Edited July 20, 2013 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Nintendo should use their warchest to moneyhat CoD into being Wii U exclusive. That'd sell consoles, and tick the Internet off beautifully Edited July 20, 2013 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 Tekken Tag obviously bombed hard so Namco see no value in a wii u release. It sux but one of the reasons I Won't purchase a wii u arcade stick is simply cos I don't expect beat em ups to be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 It is a shame though. I loved SC2. Also TTT2 is an amazing beat em up. The online is dire though as its difficult to find a fight as no one hardly bought it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 Nintendo really should think about moneyhatting Wii U ports of SC2 and TOS HD. Those games mean a lot to their audience! This may well be right. Publishers feel they dont need the wii u to make money as they have the ps3/360 audiences to work with. Its up to nintendo to negotiate the same releases on the wii u as just hoping for ports to be released isn't working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 That is a shame. I've never really been into fighters - but I remember playing that game and being absolutely blown away by it. Would have loved to play it on Wii U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 22, 2013 Oh hell yeah! I've just performed my Wii to Wii U system transfer. All of my data is in one place. My Wii and Wii U...are one. Why does it remind me of the ending of the fly where Brundle Fly wants to merge himself and his woman (and their unborn child) into one entity? Anyway, the transfer sequence is fantastic. I have to say brahs, there were almost tears. Of sadness. Such a long journey that I've had with my Wii. But, it's memory lives on. I still have games to finish. Xenoblade being one of many.

Posted July 23, 2013 Nintendo should use their warchest to moneyhat CoD into being Wii U exclusive. That'd sell consoles, and tick the Internet off beautifully If Nintendo wants to antagonise the internet they should just fully fund Shenmue 3. The internet would explode.

Posted July 25, 2013 How's about some good news? COD Ghosts has finally gotten officially announced for Wii U. Call of Duty: Ghosts – Featuring an all-new world, story, characters and experiences, all powered by a new engine, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a stunning leap forward for the blockbuster franchise. For the first time in Call of Duty, gamers play as the underdog, fighting as part of a single squad against an enemy that has superior numbers and firepower. Call of Duty: Ghosts’ genre-defining multiplayer delivers gameplay innovations throughout, including dynamic map events, character customization and other features yet-to-be-announced. The title includes Wii Remote and second-screen Wii U™ GamePad support and more. Call of Duty: Ghosts is scheduled for release on November 5, on Wii U and is not yet rated by the ESRB. Why on earth Nintendo waited so long to announce it, I have no idea. God knows why they'd want people to think that it's not coming and despair even more over the 3rd party situation, but there you go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2013 Why? Every other non MS platform was confirmed time ago. Because Microsoft was said to be moneyhatting publishers at E3 in order to showcase Xbox One versions, I wouldn't put it past them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2013 Stands to reason that Microsoft may have had something to do with that I wouldn't think so because.... Why? Every other non MS platform was confirmed time ago. This. If they were to do somthing like that then it stands to reason that the PS4 version would have been the target, not the Wii U. It probably had more to do with it being handled by a different studio rather than the tin foil hat theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2013 not sure if I will get COD but if I do, I wont be making the same mistake in getting the Wii U version. Pretty much likely there will be no DLC again so that = no buy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2013 I am getting COD for one reason only: To game with my pals on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2013 It's a shame it won't have the dlc. But £13 for a few maps? Wouldn't buy it anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That happened a few times with me as well. Yeah, i'll be getting it on the Wii U too. I had quite a few laughs with Kav & Company with Black Ops 2, which I picked up again last week. I'll get ready to annoy more randoms with my shotgun. *cocks shotgun* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was great fun though, and after Monster Hunting with a few of you (only yourself once though I think Hero ) be well up for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
