Surprise, surprise! Vicarious Vicious is working on a Wii U title. GameSpot spotted a listing on a staffer’s LinkedIn profile for “Project Nova”. The game is also in development for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

In other news, the studio is working on “Project Phoenix” for Wii, PS3, and 360.

Details on these mysterious projects have yet to be revealed.

There’s absolutely no way that Jonathan Blow’s new game, The Witness, could come to the Wii. The console is simply much too underpowered to handle the title. On the bright side, there is some hope for the future.

Regarding Wii U, Blow has apparently heard that it “has a lot more RAM” compared to current gen consoles. The comment was made when he was asked what he’d like to see in the next round of hardware.

“For this type of game, I do wish the new generation of consoles had come out by now. Even if it only meant slightly faster graphics processor and a lot more RAM. Because having more memory would make a huge difference to being able to bring a game like this to a console. It makes it much easier. When you look at the Wii U, I’m told it has a lot more RAM – that would be wonderful, although I’m unsure about that platform for other reasons, especially in light of the iPad. If that console succeeds, it would be a nicer place to bring the game than the 360, if only because it has more RAM.”

Perhaps Blow will consider creating a game for Wii U in the future… or perhaps he’ll think about bringing The Witness to Nintendo’s upcoming console…

Dragon Quest X is an online title, but that doesn’t mean all future entries in the series will follow the same path. During a press conference in Tokyo earlier today, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada commented on what fans can expect in terms of online play. Wada said, “We’re not making them all online. We’ll continue with a variety of developments, online included.”

About a week ago, leaked footage of an incredibly promising game based on The Avengers was discovered on YouTube. THQ Brisbane closed shop in August, leading to the cancellation of the project.

The game was definitely in development for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC… but it appears that THQ was planning on releasing a Wii U version as well. The LinkedIn profile of ex-THQ Brisbane employee Drew Mayo indicates that he was working on an unannounced title for all four platforms. The Avengers game was never revealed, as we probably wouldn’t have known about it had the footage not been leaked.

So, that “unannounced” project was most likely the game based on The Avengers. And it probably would have been released for Wii U.
