The Linkedin profile of Chris Slater, Technical Project Manager at Tantalus Media, has revealed that the development studio is currently busy bringing a AAA Square Enix game to the Wii U. The profile doesn’t really give any hints regarding which Square Enix game will come to the platform, but speculation suggests that it could be the Tomb Raider reboot, or the popular Sleeping Dogs.
AAA? well we all know it isn’t a final fantasy XIII game!
Oh snap!
Amen
that would be a BBB rated title
Wrong, it would be a SSS title.
If it were FF, I can just imagine the mass breakdowns. Suicide watch on a global alert.
Fuck you. FF is good.
When did I say it was bad? I said if FF was announced for WiiU, a lot of the sony fans would breakdown
… :D
like what happen to bayoneta 2?
personally, i’m for the tomb raider game. looks great.
I’m disappointed that the first SqEx games that come to mind aren’t JRPGs. The Wii U could definitely use more of those. For Tomb Raider style platforming/combat I’ll be getting Darksiders II for Wii U.
IS it just a square enix published game , or is it a game developed by square enix that’s the difference .
Either way , this is fantastic news for wiiu :) . Triple A square enix game , Triple A square enix game , hmmmmmmmmmmmmm . lost .
Dragon quest X ?????? please god loacalize dragon quest X . it’s not triple A in dev cost’s but its A grade game . It’s not DQX , but please piss off and let me dream .
dragon quest x is coming to the west…isnt it? and i dont think they would need another full development team just to localize a game. im thinking more like sleeping dogs or ( i think) deus ex human revolution. deus ex would work very well on the wii u.
Yeh you’re right . I really hope DQX comes here to the west in 2013 , would be a missed opportunity by square enix if they didn’t! .
But yeh deus ex would be awesome!!!!!!!
Who cares i hope is sleeping dogs cause of all the shit ppl have ben talking about wiiu being for babies
dont get me wrong, sleeping dogs is a fantastic game, but i would much rather see deus ex on there. that game just really seems like a perfect fit for the wii u game pad.
They are making Dragon Quest X for Wii U, but we are not exactly sure if that game is going outside Japan. Other than that, possibly Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII?
HELL NO!
just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean its a bad game. -_-
nope 13-3 (i’m going to call it that) hasen’t even started development
Final Fantasy XV! let’s take ff back from sony! :D
Lolno.
You do know square enix is trying to bring final fantasy to nintendo again,right?
Here’s your fuckin source: http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7mn293tQREoAEGlXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1NTVmbWNsBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNgRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA1ZJUDA3N18xODE-/SIG=121eqeske/EXP=1350330486/**http%3a//www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/26734
Now you can reply with your ludicrous statement if you have the balls.
Woah! I love how you put it out there before the guy begged for sources. Lol. I was just anticipating Aeolus asking for sources.
Yah,but he still didn’t answer because I did that.
Final Fantasy is pretty much multi-plat now.
never mind…it says port.
Honestly with the way thr games have been recently do we even want it back.
I’d love a Chrystal Chronicles GC re-launch, with online play and local 3DS connection :D (But that isn’t AAA though…)
Btw, your username is distracting :P
If the development team are working on a DEFINITIVE version of Tomb Raider for the Wii U, I’m buying it.
You really want a Tomb Raider like Metroid other M ?
We can all dream huh?
You just want it because of the possible Lara rape scene you perverted freak.
Duh is that whys every wants it
That really doesn’t make any sense.
You were expecting Angelina Jolie? Oops… I forgot. She was Lara in two Tomb Raider movies.
While I played a demo of Sleeping Dogs, It was fun, but felt like more of the same thing. I’d love some JRPG’s though :) Bring final fantasy back to Nintendo and toss in that HD Kingdom Hearts bundle that’s bound to inevitably come.
The KH HD collection has only been announced for PS3 – I doubt they would make it for Wii U. KH III is possible, although that wont be for some years. *Sad face*
Also, FF has been multiplatform for a while. In fact, Nintendo has a few FF exclusives of its own that were released in recent years. I wouldn’t doubt that the more recent and some future FF titles will come out on the Wii U like FF XIII-2 or Lightning Returns. It’s all possible.
Let’s hope those don’t come out for the Wii-U. Let’s just say I’m the biggest FF fan at the moment, especially towards these games. Personally, I’d prefer to see next-gen FF games on it and KH III, which has a HUGE possibility to be multiplatform on all platforms (PS3/360/Wii-U) seeing as developers need all of the money they get.
*I’m not the biggest FF fan at the moment
Still waitin on that new FF Crystal Chronicles. It would work so well with the wiiu and 3ds
It would be cool if they made a Final Fantasy VI remake exclusively for the Wii U.
That would make a lot of Final Fantasy fans buy a Wii U
Or VII, so the Wii U becomes the best-selling console of all time.
Ill be happy whit just having the ps1 fynal fantasy on virtual console or a collection
The Wii U needs to sell out consoles, not sell out.
Hm, sounds interesting. Now All I need is namco bandai tales to make a tales of game for the Wii U.
Hell YES.
Hell No, Tales of Series worth less that a pennie in any non Sony console since Tales of Vesperia Grace fiasco, that would be a slap on the face like the NBA Jam one(no online player and free with other game for HD twins owner).
I would prefer another original RPG(LIKE a pseudo baten kaitos) from the same studio that a tales games ever
IT NEEDS TO BE KINDOM HEARTS 3. AS IF. HOPEFULLY IT’S NOT SIMPLY FFXIII… KINDA OVER FINAL FANTASY NOW. PLUS SEEMS LIKE WII U WOULD GET SOME NEW CRYSTAL CHRONICLES THING OR SOMETHING :/
it could be the hd versions of kh thats comming to ps3
I hope!!!
We wont see KH III for a long while. :/
AAA and Sleeping Dogs in the same sentence. LOL.
Tomb Raider would be nice.
KH series or Deus Ex please.
Deus Ex HR was a great game. I could see that being ported but probably not the KH series.
I think kigdom heart has the biggest chance but it will not be given to other developers to make if make ill be made by square inside developers,after all square latest kh have ben made on nintendo
Not all, no.
I wouldn’t be surprised if KH III is on a Nintendo hardware, but I doubt there will be HD remakes for the system.
KH – PS2
KH FM – PS2
KH CoM – GBA
KH re:CoM – PS2
KH II – PS2
KH II FM – PS2
KH 358/2 Days – DS
KH BBS – PSP
KH BBS FM – PSP
KH Coded – Mobile Phones
KH re: Coded – DS
KH D.D.D. – 3DS
KH HD 1.5 – PS3
Then there’s two other mobile phone KH games that aren’t of any real pertinence to the series’ continuity.
It’s split fairly evenly among Sony and Nintendo systems – but the major games, with the exception of KH 3D have all been on Sony systems, thus the reason for KH HD 1.5 and as Nomura stated HD 2 (or 2.5 or w/e) will likely be on PS3 as well.
It’s an interesting notice but… I WOULD prefer Watch Dogs, that game looks so cool.
Watch_Dogs is a Ubisoft game… not Square/Enix.
I know, but it doesn’t matter.
Knowing all the support the wiiu is getting from ubi i think ill eventuali will come
Getting Tomb Raider on the PS3. Probably going to be Batman Arkham City all over again. It would be annoying gaming only on Nintendo.
Not hating btw. It would be annoying for the game to come later than the PS3/360 versions.
true, it’s like shutting oneself off from other quality games on the other systems. One is only restricting himself/herself.
I’ve only gamed on Nintendo consoles and handhelds, and I’m pretty happy with the countless titles I’ve played, but if you need to game on multiple consoles, *shruggs*
More variety of games! Instead of wanting this title or that title to be ported in the future to a Wii system, you could have enjoyed it a year or two ago on another system.
That’s why I have all systems. Each one has their good stuff to offer.
But, obviously not everyone can or wants to do that, so that’s fine too.
I sure hope its not the Final Fantasy XIII games because they are already past their prime. In my opinion, it better be FF Versus XIII.
If thats the case espect many sucides email to square

Chrono trigger?
It’s Hitman, it has to be.
i think sir you have the closer guess
Yeah that fits perfectly. I thought it was tomb raider but this makes much more sense.
Hitman for the Wii U… now THAT makes perfect sense. This is just what the new generation console needs… an espionage title. No more pausing for menu… just accessing info, switch weapons and adding more ammo. Kick ass and take names!!!!!!
If it was old SE, I would be far more excited. But, oh well, I’d still like to see games like Tomb Raider and Hitman: Absolution.
I hope it’s Tomb Raider reboot. This is good news and a great sign of things to come.
Even if FF is past its prime, its a big name. And this game’ll get a lot of attention since Nintendo has pretty much been neglected (hard) by Square Enix… Chrystal games don’t count. I hope this is a serious game for Nintendo, not a kiddie chrystal adventure while PS360 gets awesomeness.
People bashing Final Fantasy XIII and demanding a remake from VII… I’m pretty sure that hardcore nintendo fanboys are not the best people to judge that.
Don’t take me wrong but, for once, I wanted JRPG (launching just a few weeks after Japan’s release) with a good story at a Big N’s console. The Wii may have a few good games of this genre, but nothing compared to PS3. Maybe it’s time they change that with the Wii U. I really hope it’s an RPG that they’re doing a port, because that’s what the Wii U’s lacking at the launch library. I would be annoyed if they, instead, did a port of a fucking action game such as Tomb Raider. The console already have good action games (Black Ops II and ZombieU), we need variation!
Yeah, Nintendo fanboys don’t need to judge the FF titles. Sony Fanboys are doing just fine on their own bitching how the series is worn out and over the hill.
I dont think is nintedo fanboys bashing it too i think he is a multyconsole gamer
Come on guys. It has to be a game Nintendo has a partial license to or can easily license. I think the best bet here is obviously. Kingdom Hearts 3. I can see this happening.
I doubt Square-Enix would put Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts in the hands of a relatively small and inexperienced studio. If they do release a FF or KH game for the Wii U, they’ll probably port it themselves. It’s almost certainly Tomb Raider.
is a port it dosnt need experiance
Even if that were true, I’m not talking about experience.
Square-Enix wouldn’t risk releasing a sub-par version of a main-series Final Fantasy game. They always do FF ports in-house and they’re often done by the game’s main team.
heck no, the port are always to TOSE(the port company, their only original product was Starfy with Nintendo), and knowing S-Enix that easiy can be a sub-par port, the only thing good would have been Dragon Quest X online but unless nintendo take the bill of the connection(the Japanese going to cry that gaijin can play Dragon Quest for free) that will be hard
Being both PLEASE!!!!! I want to purchase them on the Wii-U!
I’m hoping for a FFXIII I-II package, Kingdom Hearts HD collection, or some major game we do not know about yet.
According to a quote by Straight Right’s CEO, the game is part of a well-known franchise and will be released across all platforms in 2013. It’s definitely Tomb Raider.
All of square ips are well know whit the esception of sleeping dogs cause is not yet a franchise
But the only S-E game (that is part of a well-known franchise) that comes out in early-2013 is Tomb Raider. So, according to the CEO’s own words, the only game that fits the description is Tomb Raider.
PLEASE BE TOMB RAIDER!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
Pingback: Mystery AAA Square Enix Title Being Ported to Wii U | SegmentNext
I want that the Kingdom Hearts HD collection and the new Tomb Raider. A new traditional Final Fantasy game would be awesome too. Leave luck to heaven.
“Popular” Sleeping Dogs ? The game has got media acclaim, very good reviews, but its sales are somewhat dissapointing. 448K worldwide is not a small number, but doesn´t seem enough to give Square a profit.
Especiali for a multyplat
has no body noticed the tantalus reference???
O_o its a fucking final fantasy remake 9!!
I think i would cry
being honest i think i would jiz right then and there if it was announced :p
Please God make it be sleeping dogs(a special edition) I love that game so much.
Reblogged this on Nintendo Wire.
ff was only good on the nes and the snes. 3d ff games blow
I don’t think Sleeping Dogs would be considered a AAA game since it was well in development when it was called True Crime. Tomb Raider reboot sounds more plausible, but there’s also FF 13-3 (that is still a AAA game because of the development and budget put into it). I’d welcome any of these three though, and FF13-2 was better than the first 13.
