Gearbox continues to praise Wii U, believes Borderlands 2 would be a good fit
July 16th, 2012 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii UGearbox co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel has yet again delivered very positive remarks about the Wii U.
In an interview with Deadspin, Martel noted:
“We really like the Wii U. I think it’s a really cool platform. I like what they’re doing – obviously with the touchscreen – and it will be interesting to see what Microsoft do with their approach to that idea. It’s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo. So we’re really excited to bring Aliens: Colonial Marines to it. And we’re going to do a wait and see approach, our publisher 2K is going to see whether they’re going to go with that.”
Martel was asked about his thoughts of how Borderlands 2 would be like on Wii U. While a Wii U version isn’t in development, Martel seemed excited with the possibility. He specifically pointed to inventory management as something that “would be amazing” on the console.
“If Borderlands 2 was on the Wii U, the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management: it would be amazing on that, it would just be fantastic. And I think the artwork would look really good, with the way they can deal with the resolutions and textures, I think it’s a really good console.”

I’ll stick with the PC version.
I wouldn’t want a gimmicky port.

I still buy all multiplat titles on the PC, but it’s nice to see this might become an option.

This is one of the few games I’m looking forward to so this would be amazing for me.

Putting features in the game on the gamepad is not "gimmicky". I, for one, am pretty excited if they ever announce a Borderlands 2 GOTY edition for the Wii U. Just put inventory management, maps, skills tree, maybe a keyboard interface for chat and we are done here.
