Digitalspy reports that the previously announced Wii U version of Metro: Last Light is currently not in development, but a port "could" still happen.

Metro: Last Light is no longer a confirmed Wii U title.

Global brand manager Mark Madsen said that while the port "could" still happen, it would be "correct" to say that it is no longer confirmed for the system.

"If it does happen, it won't sim-ship with the other SKUs, but if the opportunity arises we'll take a look at it."

Madsen also denied that Metro: Last Light's appearance during Wii U's third-party showreel at Nintendo's press conference at E3 last year was too premature.

Yea, I just put a comment on the story on WiiUgo. It's a shame. I hope we don't see more Third Parties saying things like "We want to focus on Platforms we are familiar with". Ugggghhh

[neverwinteru]

this makes no sense why would they even bother confirming it if they were just going to stop development halfway through.

they shouldn't have said a thing to begin with.

I dont think nintendo make it out frm their minds.. something happened..

[Nollog]

THQ going to close soon anyway.

THQ have 1/3 the cost of making a current generation game in their bank account is all that happened.

that would be a sad day for me, so hopefully not.

At least we get a crappy Darksiders 2 port.
Man, THQ might die.
:/

Any of their talented developers won't be out of a job for long, probably.
What happens the franchises they own publishing rights to though?

they either get bought by other companies or they die with thq. lol that's just my speculation i honestly don't know what will happen to them.

I honestly only care about volition they are one of my favorite developers ever.

its a bit unfair to call it a crappy port when you haven't even seen the Wii you version let alone played it.

I think it's fair when they're down-playing it so much.

I think it's fair when they're down-playing it so much.

i think they are only downplaying it though because they are scared to slip up and have their company destroyed by nintendo-ninjas.

[Keviin]

Never really liked THQ anyway, it always seems a bit cheap, boring, cliché... But this game actually looked nice.

No, they are not- What Vigil has said about Darksiders II Wii U points out that it's just an effortless port-
http://www.eurogamer...ox-360-versions- Graphics "Just as good"
http://www.eurogamer...ith-current-gen- Hardware "On par" with current gen (According to them.)
But then-
http://www.nintengen...-is-pretty.html "Pretty powerful machine"
And then there's that story that said it took them two weeks to port the game to Wii U.
Really, the only things they are doing is moving the equip screen to the uPad/WUT/DRC whatever.

DANG IT!!!! I really wanted to play this. Oh well at least there should be a port because like Echo said why would they stop half way through the game?

It actually depends on what interview you believe.

“If I didn’t have a strict gag order on me, I’d love to talk about all the great features that we have,” Jeremy tells us, “but what I can tell you is that it’s a next generation platform, and you should keep your eyes open.

“We’ll obviously be using the unique controller that it has to its utmost potential, but speaking to specific features or tech effects… well, that’s in Nintendo’s playground right now. And I know that they have plans for E3.”

Sorry THQ but I wanted this on Wii U. I will not be getting it on my 360.

[Meelow100]

I am really mad about this, I really wanted Metro Last Light and I was going to buy it on the Wii U, I am not going to buy this on my PS3, It's obviously has nothing to do with Nintendo and the Wii U since we know THQ is making other Wii U games and an exclusive and I know THQ is having money problems but they should of took a risk to see how well it would sell on the Wii U, hopefully the port still happens.

[Soul]

Damn it!!!!

[Fully87]

At least its still coming for other platforms so i can still pick this up for 360.
