Wii U Version of Aliens: Colonial Marines "Has So Much More to Offer"
A "unique and compelling experience" over its PS3 and 360 counterparts.
Nintendo in "getting the best version of a game" shocker! Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford suggested as such about the upcoming SEGA movie tie-in Aliens: Colonial Marines, stating that the Wii U edition has "so much more to offer" over its PS3 and Xbox 360 counterparts.
Hinting at, but not specifying, unique features that will be exclusive to Nintendo's tablet-controlled console, Pitchford had nothing but praise. "The Wii U version has so much more to offer ... no other platform can do what the Wii U can do," he said in a recent interview.
"If you love [Xbox] 360 games, you are not used to being in a world where you have this new interface. But once you get used to that, you imagine the possibilities; there are some opportunities that are just not possible on any platform that does not have that device.
"I don't want to give spoilers away on some of things we are thinking of or things we have actually implemented already, but [there are] a lot of cool opportunities with that device that are going to make a very unique and compelling experience on that platform. We have given [it] a lot of attention."
Pitchford also noted that Gearbox will be "right there" with Nintendo to talk about the Wii U-specific functionality when the Japanese manufacturer decides to "open up their kimono a little bit." Kinky.
Aliens: Colonial Marines was lined up for a Spring release, but has been delayed to an Autumn launch.
