Aliens: Colonial Marines on Wii U has “so much more on offer,” getting “a lot of attention”
Going by recent comments made by Gearbox head Randy Pitchford, the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines is at the very least worth checking out. “The Wii U version has so much more to offer,” he says.
“No other platform can do what the Wii U can do.”
With Nintendo yet to reveal final details on their console, Pitchford couldn’t spill all but did say that once Nintendo “opens up their kimono a little bit more about that platform and where it is going, we will be there right with them talking about how Aliens is using it.”
Aliens: Colonial Marines will release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall. No launch window for the Wii U version has been given yet.
“No other platform can do what the Wii U can do.”
“If you love 360 games, you are not used to being in a world where you have this new interface. But once you get used to that, you imagine the possibilities; there are some opportunities that are just not possible on any platform that does not have that device.”
