I agree. If it is coming to the Wii U even though it is a great game its just another kick in the teeth with yet another port of an old game and not worth getting excited about in the least. If this is the kind of support third party developers and publishers are going to give the Wii U then its going to have a tough time competing against the PS4 and the Xbox successor.
Exactly, it's already had two years to saturate the market on other platforms.
This is just spitballing, so could be completely off base, I'm sure you'll let me know
I wonder if they only recently received a dev kit, and decided to get an idea of what the system can handle by getting their chops on a product they already know very well. I still think they would be better served to put their resources into a new project rather than a two year old port, but thats just me.
