Not much has changed when it comes to the Tales series on next-gen consoles. Producer Hideo Baba has once again said that there are no plans to bring the IP to the Wii U, the PlayStation 4, or Xbox One.
Baba said:
”Same as the Xbox One and PS4, I don’t have any plans to release titles for the Wii U.”
Baba and Namco Bandai as a whole are staying committed to the PlayStation 3. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles was just announced this past weekend and is planned for release in overseas territories early next year.
The first Project X Zone demo is now available in North America. Hit up the 3DS eShop to begin the download.
A second Project X Zone demo should be on the way as well. No word yet on when it will be available in the states.
Mighty Switch Force! 2 is almost ready for launch. WayForward has confirmed that the game will be available on the North American 3DS eShop on June 13. The European release will follow on June 27.
It isn’t possible to play GameCube games on the Wii U through traditional means. The console itself is incapable of playing such titles due to the way it was built, but one hacker has managed to bypass limitations.
While only a proof of concept for now, the video above shows the potential of playing Wii games on a Wii U. vWii was used to launch a backup, and a USB controller is used to control the game.
