The Wii U version of Runner2 looks like it could be the definitive version of the game.

As many of you know, it will be possible to play the entire title directly on the GamePad through off-TV play. Gaijin has also confirmed that Runner2 will feature the best overall load times on Wii U out of any of the consoles. While loading may be slightly slower at first, “it speeds up as you play since we can keep more content in memory, which means fewer loads overall.”

Gaijin wrote in a blog post today:

“The clear difference with the Wii U version is that you can play the entire game on either your gamepad or your TV. Also, because it is the newest platform with the most memory, it has the best overall load times of any of the consoles. Initial loading may be a bit slower, but it speeds up as you play since we can keep more content in memory, which means fewer loads overall.”
