A spokesperson for THQ has told Polygon that you’ll be able to play Darksiders 2 entirely on the Wii U GamePad. The Wii U version of Darksiders 2 will also include the first DLC pack, Argul’s Tomb, plus all of the pre-order bonus content loaded onto the disc. According to THQ that’s roughly five hours of additional content. Darksiders 2 is scheduled to launch on Wii U on November 18th in North America.
Sweet!
Finally! Now if only more games would announce this.
1UP
How did you reply in the future? Oh, you must live in the east.
Cool
can’t wait for Nove 18th
Uhhh the pic being used is for darksiders 1.
Not gonna be getting it for Wii U, pointless if it doesent have the first one (I like having game series complete on one console not on different ones). Ill be getting it for my 360 more then likley.
As someone who played both, you really dont need to buy the first one to play the second one, at all. Theres a couple of references, but thats it. Otherwise, the game is it’s own being, it doesn’t tie itself down to the first what so ever, and you’re not missing any story, as anything important is explained within the first 2 minutes.
Why ??? the wiiu version has better graphics , extra content and you can play on the gamepad . Not being an Ass but it’s not a 360 exclusive so you aren’t limited to buying it on your 360 . I want this game NOW!!! but I am waiting for wiiu ^^ .
think zelda! when do new players have to play first zelda game? stop derping!
means able to play without TV ?
Yes!!! I already knew this !! it says thi in UK Official Nintendo Magazine .
They usualy know some strange things before everyone else though .
This feature means this means this version of the game makes the others inferior , bot to mention the extra content and better graphcs !
Yes. It means that you’ll be able to stream the game from the tv to the gamepad itself and play it from there
oh~ sounds cool.. :p

The game also looks better on the WiiU. Straight from Vigil themselves.

Ok im a casual gamer, but i’d like to be a harcore gamer, whats this game about? and wut u do in it?
-.-
Its like Devil May Cry crossed with Zelda, so it plays like a hack and slash, but theres puzzles, you can explore, go through dungeons, customise your weapons and armour loadouts buy finding, winning or buying different loot, upgrade your skills, you can ride a horse that rises out the ground under your feet, its pretty damn good. Its also quite long, about 25-30 hours in my first playthrough, and that i didnt even do all the side missions, or collectables, or arena mode, and then on a New Game + theres secret weapons, so you theres alot to do.
The game can be tricky for the average player, but there is an easy option, but there are really hard options too.
When I get the Wii U, I’m buying Darksiders II: Evil Lives including DLC and 5 additional hours of gameplay!
Darksiders II: DEATH Lives *
Can you use the Pro?
Yes.
yeah
Still not sold on Darksiders 2.
If you’re a fan of Zelda, Devil May Cry, and a little bit of Diablo/Borderlands loot systems, then its a fair must buy.
What other games use this feature? PLEASE SAY NSMBU.
This, NSMBU, Scribblenaughts, Mass Effect 3, Tekken are the only “true confirmed” games to use gamepad only, but im sure Rayman, Batman, Ninja Gaiden, Lego City, Assassins Creed 3 will use it too.
And by gamepad only i mean you can just use the gamepad, but you can still watch it on the tv obviously.
YES! *hugs then runs*
You can’t tell right not…. but I am actually punching my screen with a hand full of my hard earned money from my EMA at college.
rich ass. I have to earn it still. 240/390
Being a teen sucks.
Being a college student is worse.
Amen to that.
Wait until you graduate. You can afford everything you want but won’t have time to enjoy it.
oh man nothing will top that.
Watashiwa…

The title is misleading.
… How?
It makes it sound like the only option is the gamepad… like as if you cant use a Wii U pro controller instead.
No it doesn’t, not in the slightest. If it said “Darksiders 2 only supports Wii U GamePad play”, then yes, but “GamePad only play” doesn’t suggest that at all, it suggests exactly what the article then says.
This is going to be the first game I buy for the Wii U. I look forward to spending my Christmas holiday playing this and skyward Sword. Leave luck to heaven.
Someone noticed that Nintendo’s new console, the Wii U, is having many second and third parts (ME3 DarkSiders 2, Bayoneta 2, Assasin´s Creed 3, Ninja Gaiden 3), but not many first parts?
Some of this one got me really exited to play, but knowing that they´re second or third parts turn me off.
well no i have no regrets at all about not getting the PC version
well now*
