THQ and developer 4A Games dropped its plans to release Metro: Last Light for Wii U. Part of that can be blamed on the number of SKUs the studio is already committed to. Unlike the original game, Last Light will be coming to the PlayStation 3.

Chief technical officer Oles Shishkovtsov explained that if yet another platform was involved, the quality of the game could have diminished:

“We had an early look at it, we thought we could probably do it, but in terms of the impact we would make on the overall quality of the game – potentially to its detriment – we just figured it wasn’t worth pursuing at this time. It’s something we might return to. I really couldn’t make any promises, though. We had an initial look at the Wii U, but given the size of the team and compared to where we were last time, just developing for the Playstation 3 is a significant addition.”

Wii U’s technical aspects may have also contributed to the decision. 4A’s Huw Beynon said that console “has a horrible, slow CPU.”

If you’re looking for a Wii U this holiday season, you may want to turn your attention to Best Buy. The retailer anticipates having “a constant flow of inventory for the Wii U throughout the holidays”. Having said that, Best Buy believes demand will be high.

A statement from the company reads:

“While we will have a constant flow of inventory for the Wii U throughout the holidays, we expect there to be great demand.”

Survival horror has made its triumphant return to consoles.

(Note: This is a review of the single player. Multiplayer is pretty much exactly what you’d expect.)

I’ve been playing ZombiU constantly over the last two days, and when I first started out I considered myself nothing more than certifiably intrigued. A couple of hours in, and I went from intrigued to impressed. A few hours on top of that and I was enthralled. Add an hour or two more and I found myself legitimately surprised that I was enjoying the game as much as I was. I had read in so many places that at best it was “fun-but-flawed”, and I had damn-near convinced myself that such a label was “good enough”, and very admirable for a launch title.

When it comes down to it though– and I do NOT say this lightly– I’ve ended up thinking that ZombiU is one of the best survival horror games I have ever had the immense pleasure of playing.
