The folks at Vigil say they're working to make Darksiders II on Wii U more than just a port...

The Wii U version of Darksiders II will boast unique controls as its main draw, according to developer Vigil Games.

Speaking to ONM, the studio's Jay Fitzloff said that the Wii U build of Darksiders II has "so far" achieved "visual parity" with other formats, but the team was specifically looking to take advantage of the controller, rather than the extra horsepower under the hood.

"Making Darksiders 2 for Wii U is about using the system. In the end it'll have such as unique control set - we think it's the best we can make for Wii U, but will it be definitive? You tell us when it comes out!"

Earlier, Vigil had stated that getting the entire game streaming solely on the Wii U controller's screen "took all of five minutes and two lines of code."

Both Darksiders II and Wii U are due out in 2012.
