THQ on Darksiders II for Wii U, overall support for the console
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Yesterday we found out that THQ’s Danny Bilson left the company. But let’s pretend that didn’t happen for a few moments.
Prior to Bilson’s departure, Eurogamer sat down with the ex-EVP Core Games. He was asked about a couple of things regarding Wii U.
First up, Bilson discussed Darksiders II, noting how it will make “heavy use of the DRC controller”. It also won’t be “just a straight port.”
“There’s heavy use of the DRC (Digital Resistive Current) controller with Darksiders 2. I actually don’t know how much we’ve said about that stuff yet, but rest assured it’s got unique use of that controller for the game on the Wii U. It’s not just a straight port. There’s a separate team working really hard on it.”
Bilson later commented on THQ’s overall support for the console, explaining that they’ll be “specific” in determining which games to bring to the new console.
Bilson said the following when asked if each future multiplatform release will be given a Wii U version:
“To be determined. Everything with us has to be very specific choices. Look, we have a lot of money but we don’t have as much money as the other guys. So we have to be very specific and careful about our choices going forward. We felt Darksiders is a fantastic Wii U title. It echoes – I’m not going to say it echoes classic Nintendo gameplay because I don’t know what that means exactly – but we thought it was a great fit for that platform and we wanted to be there with one of our great titles day one for their platform for their launch, and that one seemed the best fit to do a great Wii U game.”

Square Enix has registered a trademark for something called “Deathless”. The move was made by the company’s Japanese division, and was filed in Japan on May 28.
As usual, there isn’t any information behind with the trademark. With E3 so close though…. well, you never know.
