This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but third-parties have title reveals planned for Nintendo’s new console. MCV says “that a number of publishers are preparing Wii U announcements”.

Third-party Wii U support has been slightly minimal overall. Major companies including Capcom have yet to announce any projects for the system, but the publisher says it’ll have news “very soon”.

Chances are we’ll be seeing more third-party efforts during Nintendo’s fall conference which will be held next month.

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.”

Nintendo has traditionally been an exhibitor at Gamescom. This year, however, the company has decided not to attend the show.

It still isn’t entirely clear why Nintendo is pretty much skipping out on the expo, but a PR group has provided an explanation – somewhat.

Bergsala PR Manager Patrik Johansson stated:

“Whilst Gamescom is a fantastic show, Nintendo has taken the decision not to attend this year’s event. Instead Nintendo is planning a number of sampling events later this year inline with the European Marketing-, PR- and Event-activities in which Nintendo´s fans will have the opportunity to play upcoming games. Further details will be announced soon.”

Capcom’s Gamescom 2012 conference is done and over with, but none of the news was Wii U-related (and there was nothing about Monster Hunter Tri G…).

Now, we do know that Capcom has at least one Wii U project in development. Apparently this game will be shown “very soon.”

According to Capcom’s head of marketing for US and Europe Michael Pattison:

“There is a rumour that we are working on a Wii U game. It won’t be at this show. But we do have something waiting in the wings, and we will be talking about that very soon.”

Will this Wii U title be another version of a multiplatform title? Will it be an original game? A new Okami (yes please)? Capcom’s newly announced Remember Me could be a good fit on Wii U…
