Online gaming publication Eurogamer has been told by the publishers of the promising Aliens: Colonial Marines that the game will hopefully be coming to Wii U by the end of March. Aliens: Colonial Marines has already gone gold on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Unlike the version for the other formats, the Wii U version of the game is being developed by Demiurge Studios.
Always saving the best for last. Kudos to both SEGA and Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford!
Anyone know if you can play through the campaign mode in local co-op?
Yup it’s by gearbox-the rulers of co-op
I didn’t know they had another studio handling it.
Good thing they seem compitant, they worked on ports of Mass Effect, Bioshock and Borderlands, which far as i know, havent had any issues on a platform
Also, interesting to know, the ports they worked on were for PC :p
Interesting.
Also (again), this is why i love Gearbox.
So many developers land with one publisher, and then only follow their rules, 2K/Rockstar wont out games on the WiiU (even though everyone else is, which is surprising because Rockstar spend the most money making games…i dont the quality justifices the cost), but Gearbox just go for the developer they want, or the one that’ll take that job, meaning we get good old “we’ll suck your dick for money” Sega, so we get the games.
Rockstar have say that his game will go.to where money is, is just that rockstar have never developed games for just released consoles ever.
Imma shoot me some aliens!!!!!!
hello, I have one question plz. I have one Wii U 32gb bought in France which is present for my friend living in Vietnam (South East Asia). I wonder if it can work in Vietnam. Because most of Wii U in Vietnam is comr from US… plz help me clear
Dont know but i guess cause Vietnam is in Asia it games should be region code for that market and América consoles will not work for those games but if he connects his console to the internet he should be able to get América region games.
i’m from the Philippines, and usually we get the US version here. my bro says, there’s an “Asian version” out, but it’s practically a US version without the ability to sign up on Club Nintendo (or enter codes) and power supply is 220V (US is 110V).
however, if Vietnam is anything like the Philippines, there’re lots of sellers here who also sell games from other regions, although mostly US (Region 1). well, perhaps he can mod it later to allow multiregion games.
As much as I wanted to get thison the Wii U, I had to go 360. All my friends will be playing and itsnota port. Not saying all ports are bad. But the hopefully by the end of March? I don’tknow.
Disappointed that he may not come out til then. Hopefully, it’s the definitive version that makes the wait worth it.
Sorry, that’s it may not come out til then.
Still love my WiiU but i’ll get the xbox version because gearbox have done it themselves.
And I’ll get the WiiU version because the added features using the gamepad kick ass.
Might wanna check those out man.
Coming out in March? ONM says it’s Australian release is in February!!! Though, they also said that Fantasy Life and Project X Zone will come to Australia in 2013!
the comercial says that al version comming on 12 februari, so this is stupid!!
So this is why Pitchford was talking up the Wii U version, as not to piss off Nintendo fans (because a different studio was making it). If Gearbox loves the Wii U so much, why didn’t his team develop the version?
That team is kind of gearbox partners they are the go to guys for gearbox ports to pc.
They ported Borderlands, Bioshock and Mass Effect to PC. I dont think you need to worry.
It’s just because it takes up resources and staff they most likely dont have, he’ll still be overlooking the game.
Don’t want the same complaints for Marines on Wii U that Arkham City had for the Wii U
NO WII REMOTE NO PURCHOSE FPS VIA A STICK IS FULL DOWS SYNDROME END OF ARGUMENT ONLY DERP SONY AND SCIZO XBOX FANS LOL AIM WITH A AUTO AIM STICK
I DEMAND WII REMOTE TRUE FPS MOUSE POINTING I DONT PLAY OBSOLETE FPS AND I DONT USE A FOLK TO EAT SOUP ETHER
CORRECT TOOL CORRECT JOB GAMEPAD AS TACTILE SCREEN AND AS IN GAME SCREEN FOR THOSE DERP IM RETARDED SECOND STICK FPS -ERS
scanner will be just as much fun via a remote as it would the gamepad screen and lookig at the gamepad screen instead of tv to view it would still work wiiu fps needs wii remote sort the act out industry
Just gonna wait for the Wii U version. I could just get it on PC but 3rd party support will be lost on Wii U if people keep jumping ship if they have to wait 4 weeks.
Sucks, I was looking foward to Feb 12. Well at least gives me more time to save money. Also more time to finish other games I guess.
They are a really good company… they know how to port to high end pc.

Thanks for sharing the link, venomjamaica. If Straight Right can do Mass Effect 3: Special Edition, why not Demiurge in making Aliens: Colonial Marines? Randy approves it!
