      Yeah. This all seems like stuff that would work great on Wii U, but it’s not on Wii U. I honestly don’t know why it can’t be on Wii U; surely it can run this game if the 360/PS3 can.

      • Maybe Konami just doesn’t think there is an audience for this game on Wii U.

          That’s the problem. People won’t buy the Wii U because it doesn’t have games. Companies don’t make games for it because people aren’t buying it.

But of course the lack of third party support has been a problem for Nintendo (on home consoles at least), and the fact that the Wii U isn’t up to par with PS4 and XB1 in terms of power won’t help them.

        I would be getting it for wii u if it was coming I don’t have a ps4 yet so I’m settling for ps3 so it’s really to bad it’s not for wii u it would work really well maybe the fox engine just wasn’t designed for wii u

      This is not an innovation. Battlefield 4 uses already an app for your smarthphone for helping friends with a map…

    Hey, not to be rude or anything, but your new format doesn’t work on my smartphone.

    • That’s annoying. I’m afraid there isn’t much I can do about it since I’m just using a standard theme.

          The game looks to be very short if that achievements list is any indication. If each mission has an achievement, then I count two main missions and 4 side-ops plus the an extra-op (deja jemais or deja vu depending on which console).

    • Yes, just made a post about it. Didn’t check them myself though, I don’t want to get spoiled.

        Very light on spoilers, one of the achievements could suggest something but it’s not anything absolute

    Can we use the Vita for 2nd screen functionality? As in, not just remote ply only, but also as a WiiU type solution as both controller and info screen?

    • I don’t think they said anything about it, but it would make sense.
