Why not? I think it's Tomb Raider, and I'd never buy it on Wii U, so I don't think it by some desire to buy it.

Straight Right (Mass Effect 3 Wii U) porting AAA Square-Enix game to Wii U
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
I was thinking along these lines aswell. Quantum Conundrum is UE3. But that is not a triple A game.
So yeah, it is probably Tomb Raider.

Yay, more ports.
I'd actually prefer it to be DX, I think. They might be able to do some interesting stuff with the touchscreen in that context, like using it for hacking computers and electronic locks, or viewing the video feed from security cameras on the touchscreen while the TV displays the POV from where you actually are.
The next Deus Ex, Thief and Soul Reaver are all going to be Orbis/Durango I would imagine, and they won't be out next year.
I doubt a DS4 is going to happen, SC3 could well, but why do that over TR? It's not going to sell even close.
Versus 13, you know it
Oh how WiiU fans crave disappointment.

Can't believe it's taken until page 4 for anyone to mention Thief.
Thief 4.
Believe.

I wish it was Sleeping Dogs... The guys making Tomb Raider seemed so down on the Wii U too bad for them they don't call the shoots.
anyway whatever it is the good news is Wii U has yet another AAA brick to build a core library

FINAL FANTASY 13 trilogy makes lots of sense for the Wii u in 2013.
It would be gangbusters in japan would it not?

It would if anyone in Japan actually cared about the XIII series.
At this point it's pretty much Motomu Toriyama's vanity project, isn't it?

Tomb Raider
Didn't they say it was because they were focusing only on the PS360PCMAC versions and
there was no time for a Wii U version?
Cosidering Wii got the latest entries, I don't see how the game does not fit the system lol

Versus and Type 0 double whammy. It doesn't need to make sense.
Crystal Dynamics Community Manager Meagan Marie's statement:
Crystal Dynamics Global Brand Manager Karl Stewart's statement:
Oh I see, thanks for the quotes.
Still, money speaks louder and the brand manager said "right now" so there's still a chance
Yeah, it's a possibility. Still, I don't think the port will be of Tomb Raider. I'm guessing it probably won't be a port of an upcoming game. By the way, that quote from Karl Stewart was like from August.

Maybe it's Lord of Vermilion or that Shooter game they made.
Isn't Final Fantasy 14 relaunching soon? The PS3 is finally getting their version and it's already translated. Perhaps they could handle the Wii U version while Square Enix proper is finishing up the new PC client and the PS3 version. Is Straight Right large enough to handle porting a MMO?
As said it could be Tomb Raider. I've been ignoring the game because it wasn't coming and CD made that clear I believe. I've actually soured on it and Crystal Dynamics because of some of the crap they've said in the past regarding the game and the feeling I feel they've been giving off in regard to a Wii U version. This could have no basis but it's a weird impression I have and from a few other companies. As a result I wouldn't really care if it ended up being this. I wouldn't be buying it.
I'd be interested if it was one of the following. Final Fantasy XIV, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (with Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 being released together as a collection seperately), or the upcoming Thief 4. Thief 4 is likely no where near ready for release though.

it's rather vague if 2013 refers to the port or the big game in general;
but personally, I don't see them porting a Japane game.
I am not sure if anyone at Bioware begged EA to port ME3 to Wii U either.
These stuff are handled by publishers

The Last Remnant Wii U to launch with The Last Remnant PS3.

Its still tomb raider. Basically they are eating their words and making the port for the quick buckz.
Everything you posted seems to be if Crystal Dynamics themselves ported it to Wii U. Seems to me SE just throwing it at another company would be the one way we'd get it on Wii U.

I'd say the odds are pretty good for Lightning Returns on Wii U, but I doubt that a Western studio would be handling the porting.

What the hell is Lightning Returns?
*hits Google*
.....oh. Never knew this was a thing.
There's absolutely nothing "obvious" concerning Versus at this point.
Hitman and Tomb Raider would be new up and coming titles so I'd bet on those, DX:HR wouldn't make much of a splash this late, and I guess Sleeping Dogs might fly too.
? does the WiiU suppose to have all exclusives?
If it ends up being Tomb Raider, I wonder if the festering internet backlash had any affect on SE's decision to have it ported. Maybe their confidence wavered in its potential, and decided it needed to be on every platform.
More likely, the preorder sell outs left them wondering why they aren't getting in on the action.
Or maybe its not Tomb Raider at all...

Versus would be great! But I'm sure it's something stupid instead.

It's going to be:
With FFXIII-2 also packaged in with it.
I'd buy a package of 13-2 and 13-3... Then again, I actually liked 13-2, but only rented it... Then again again... I don't think I could stomach a second playthrough of 13-2 either... Or 13-1... Hmmm

They arent "ports" to people who dont own or care to own xbox360 or PS3.
Saturn VC games through Straight Right confirmed!?
Wait, this means technically Square actually put out Saturn games now. And N64 for that matter.

Actually....ya, it's still a port to me, but if its a good game I'm all for it....although its not really/necessarily a new experience....

Now Chris Slater updated his Linkedin page to remove the Wii U SE game reference:
I even saved the webpage when I found for a visual record, but as you saw I quoted the page anyway because this would obviously happen.

It was sarcasm(hence the "
"), how can you be dissapointed by something that "doesn't exist".I hope it's a FFXIII compilation but it's more likely a western game like Tomb Raider.
What's GAF concensus at this point about FFXV? I can see it finally coming "full" multiplatform with the return on a Nintendo console as well as the ps4 and X720. If so, SquarEnix will need to throw some FF games ports at WiiU owners before that. And design-wise, tbalet controls can do a lot of things for the J-RPG's!
