Posted 09 Jun 2011 at 12:18 by Stephen Thomson
The Wii U version of launch title Darksiders II is running on the Wii U, but Nintendo decided not to show full games on the show floor.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Danny Bilson of THQ core games stated "We have Darksiders II completely running on the Wii U right now,". Although confirmed earlier this week that footage of Wii U games was taken from the Xbox 360 and PS3 iterations, Danny reiterated that should you step into Vigil you'd see the game running on the new hardware and have it running with the controller. He also went on to say:
"It took about five weeks. Coming into the show we were ready to go. We could have demonstrated it on the hardware but they [Nintendo] decided not to have full games shown in the booth."
The Darksiders team was also one of the first teams to receive a development kit from Nintendo and had dedicated engineers working on it to the run up of the show.
