This information comes from Vigil Games’ Jay Fitzloff…

“We’re not trying to bump up or bump down, but we reached it, and it wasn’t hard. Once we got it up and running it was like ‘cool, there it is.’ We’re still waiting on that final hardware and architecture, and help from Nintendo to figure that out. Right now, it looks like it’s more than the 360 or PlayStation 3, but there’s still a question mark about how much you can squeeze out of it. You know how it is, a new system, tricks get learned as the lifespan goes along, so this is where we’re starting, and it looks good. There was pressure originally as we only got the Wii U development kits about six weeks before E3 and wanted to get it up and running. Learning new hardware is the hardest part, it’s uncharted territory. You have a problem with Xbox, you call up, and the answers online – it’s all ready. Whereas this time, you call up after finding a problem, and they’re like ‘wow, we don’t know, let us know if you find an answer!’ It’s not hurting the other platforms because to get Wii U running we need dedicated heads to think about how we’re going use the Wii U platform to make the game cool.”

This is how I expect most Wii U versions of PS3/360 games to be. They’ll have a different control scheme and they might look a bit better, but they’ll still provide the same experience. The thing is, if companies want these games to sell, they might need to provide more of an incentive to make them more appealing to consumers. I doubt most gamers will hold off on picking up the Wii U version if they’ll be available months ahead on other platforms.

Launching Shinobi in November? Doesn’t sound like a smart move to me. By then, Super Mario 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Mario Kart 3D will probably have been released… or they will shortly thereafter.

Shinobi Hits Late 2011 and CRUSH3D Early 2012

SEGA Europe Ltd. And SEGA of America today confirmed the release dates for two of their most anticipated Nintendo 3DSâ„¢ titles. Shinobiâ„¢ will be released on November 15, 2011, while CRUSH3Dâ„¢ will be released on February 21, 2012.

Shinobi for Nintendo 3DS will put players in the shoes of Jiro Musashi, the father of Joe Musashi from the original 1989 release, offering a glimpse into Musashi family history. Sporting a vast story mode as well as an innovative, yet to be announced StreetPassâ„¢ mode, Shinobi will keep players coming back for more ninja action.
