Darksiders 2 creative manager Jeremy Greine has explained that Nintendo has put a full gag on everything Wii U related until E3. Yesterday we heard that the Wii U is about as powerful as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but it sounds as though Vigil Games are under strict orders not to reveal anything related to the Wii U’s visual capabilities. Greine went on to say that Wii U is a next generation console and that we should keep our eyes open.

“If I didn’t have a strict gag order on me, I’d love to talk about all the great features that we have. but what I can tell you is that it’s a next generation platform, and you should keep your eyes open.”

“We’ll obviously be using the unique controller that it has to its utmost potential.”

“But speaking to specific features or tech effects – well, that’s in Nintendo’s playground right now. And I know that they have plans for E3.”
