Subject: Bungie on WiiU?

Hello! Feel free to some Cobbler as this ODST stares at you.

I wonder...
Bungie's new game on the WiiU? Aside from a lousy name it does look to be an exciting console. Although I'm fairly certain Bungie doesn't have a developer kit for it. After watching Bungie's new vidoc it reminded me how much Bungie is about innovation.

As a fan of Nintendo, I would like to see the new hotness on the other new hotness. That being said, I bet Bungie will wait to see if the new online on WiiU holds up. With games like Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon, and Ninja Gaiden already on board I'd love to see a Bungie title too.

The process for the new game seems far along, so it might just stick to 360 and PS3. But there's always another game.

I'd love to see a Bungie and Nintendo baby before I die. Even if it sucks. (Which can't happen.)

PS: Please don't debate consoles or bash consoles before they come out. Or bash Nintendo. Not the point of the thread.

Also, here is a demonstration of the WiiU: Zelda Style!

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

I doubt it, they've been hiring people with experience working with PS3s, not nintendo hardware.

I'm 99% percent sure it isn't happening. It's more a question of what if. Hard to find developers for a console that isn't out yet enh?

I dunno, the new game might be on the Wii U, depends if it's a Wii U-ish game.

Well I don't think there is any Wii U developers yet, with the console not yet released and all, I mean sure there are developers for it but I don't think thtere are any looking for a job.

Bungie is an xbox company

That's a fail comment. Bungie is a Mac company, then a pc company, and finally an Xbox company (chronologically). Their next possible step is a PS3 company and a mobile company for all we know.

Yep, so technically Bungie is a Mac/PC/Xbox/PS3/Moblie company as of right now and it could be more.

Also OP, it's spelled "Hawtness".

Halo is only on xbox

The OP isn't talking about Halo at all. He's talking about Bungie's future titles.

Halo 4 is also on the xbox.

Which is not being made by Bungie, it's being made by 343 Industries. Bungie is done with Halo; OP is talking about future non-Halo games that Bungie will be making.

On-topic:
The WiiU is too far away from an actual release date to consider which developers will work on it. Hell, Nintendo doesn't really know which devs will use their system yet. It's something we'll all know in time.

The chances look slim though. Bungie is in an FPS market now and FPS and the current Wii do not go together well. Considering how different it would be to port an Xbox or PS3 game to a Wii based system it doesn't seem likely that they'll work on Nintendo products.

Actually Nintendo designed the WiiU with shooters in mind. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Aliens: Colonel Marine are two examples.

In an interview with Gearbox they said that the WiiU could create a hud-less shooter. The CEO of Activision said he was thrilled to work with the console. The president of Epic Games said he was frosting at the mouth to get a dev kit for it. They are also porting their Unreal Engine to it.
But yes current Wii+ FPS= No. WiiU+ FPS= Hell yes.

Sparten Kien: They are also making Halo 456, Little Big Planet, Gears of War, Fable, and a collection of every Vavle game ever. All these for 1$.

Whether that is that case of not I'm just saying it doesn't seen like it would be in Bungie's near future or in their interest to work on a Nintendo platform. Not impossible but to me it seems improbable.

It'd be crazy to rule it out entirely. I think we can be pretty sure that Bungie won't have a release title, but eventually? Yeah, sure. The Wii U, to me, is a console that has potential to show potential. Right now they've not shown off or described anything all that exciting, but when we get closer to a release it might turn out that the U has something Bungie wants to explore.

My biggest issue with the thing is that it doesn't plan to support more than one fancy controller, which makes the new "innovation" useless for most kinds of multiplayer (especially Bungie's kind of multiplayer). If it truly has the graphics horsepower to keep up with the PS3/360 -- and sells well -- though, I can easily see a port being looked at.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

This, maybe they'll maybe do a separate strain of games.

I wouldn't care if it was on WiiU because i don't intend on owning one.

Heh. The Gamecube and Wii do seem to gather dust better than any other console I've owned. I can't imagine Nintendo focusing back on gamers, either. But who knows.

Left here a long time ago.

I really, really hope Bungie doesn't make a game for the WiiU.

Because that controller looks like the most awkward, uncomfortable thing ever meant for long-term operation with the human hand. And those joysticks don't even seem to protrude from the controller; how the hell would you maintain an accurate grip on them? And a screen? I have a 52", I don't need more pixels to look at.

I like Bungie, but I have no intention of buying anything they make for the WiiU. Assuming that they do make something for the WiiU. Which they hopefully wo't.

If they make games for the wii U, there's no reason for it not to be their main project. The wii U doesn't have the limitations the wii has.

Yes judge a console a year before release.
I would go into reasons why this console looks exciting but you won't be swayed.

Why do people think this is a console? Its a new CONTROLLER not console. Watch the videos of people from IGN and E3 they say "We are demoing the new Wii U CONTROLLER....."
