If your like us, your probably really excited about the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines game, and then you run into the question of how are you going to play it. Normally this would be answered with PS3/360 or PC, then the sudden realization that the game will also be available on Nintendo’s shinny new, not dust covered console that we only play for Nintendo Exclusives. Brian Burleson, the producer at Gearbox, believes that the Wii U will be the best way to play the shooter thanks to it’s power.
“The Wii U is a powerful, powerful machine and it can do a lot of cool new things. And so the game itself, moving it over to work on the Wii U was not much of a chore,” he said in an interview with Eurogamer. “Now the interesting thing is finding out all the cool ways you can use the controller to do new stuff with it. You can imagine all the cool things we can do, with this franchise and having a thing with you, right?” He didn’t go into specs on the new console, but Brian did let it slip that it would be better then it’s PS3/360 brothers due to “more modern tech.”
We’re all anticipating Nintendo’s showing at E3 to see what the new machine can do.
