Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 On Wii U

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a video game in the Castlevania series, and a reboot of the franchise.^[4] It is an action-adventure game in a dark fantasy setting in Southern Europe during the Middle Ages. The game was developed by MercurySteam and Kojima Productions and published by Konami. Hideo Kojima, producer of the Metal Gear franchise, was involved with the title.

Speaking with Eurogamer, Konami producer Dave Cox said that the extra budget and need to add around 20 people to developer MercurySteam make a Wii U port infeasible for the moment.

"Game development is about managing resources," Cox told Eurogamer. "You say to yourself, can I take on another 20 people? It's just a nightmare to manage at this point. That's the only reason why we're not doing any other formats."

Cox didn't rule out a future Wii U port, but at launch the game will only appear on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Resident Evil: Revelations Will Allow Off-Screen Play

Resident Evil: Revelations producer Tsukasa Takenaka has confirmed that the Wii U version will allow players to play the game entirely on the GamePad screen.

Takenaka confirmed that the game would allow off-screen play ironically (and jokingly) so that the game can be mobile. In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, He said "There's a joke going around in Japan at the moment about using off TV Play to play your Wii U games on the Bullet Train, as long as you get one of the seats with a power outlet, so we wanted to make sure Bullet Train play was possible with Revelations."
