Capcom thought about Remember Me for Wii U
Posted on August 14, 2012 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U
Earlier today, Capcom announced a new collaboration with Dontnod Entertainment for the upcoming project “Remember Me”. This kind of title seemed like it would be a perfect fit on Nintendo’s new console, given its unique style and gameplay. It doesn’t hurt that some gamers feel that it’s somewhat comparable to Capcom’s old GameCube release, P.N.03.
Remember Me was considered for Wii U at one point, but to put it simply, Capcom decided against the idea. The company felt that burdening Dontnod with new hardware would be a poor move and it wanted to keep the studio focused.
Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained on the Capcom-Unity boards:
“As for WiiU, this project was started many years ago, long before WiiU was even a twinkle in Nintendo’s eye. We explored the idea of adding a SKU, but in the name of keeping the team focused and not adding dev tasks for the team to get up to speed on new hardware and time to the schedule, we’ve opted to keep it on the original platforms for which it was planned.”
