So… it looks like someone made a boo boo. Reports earlier in the day indicated that Square Enix will be considering Dragon Quest X for Wii U. However, that information was inaccurate.

A transcript of Yoichi Wada’s original comments are now available and while it’s true that the company is looking into Nintendo’s console from a technical standpoint to prepare for possible launch titles, he did not actually say anything about Dragon Quest X. The blog that provided comments from the Square Enix CEO noted that “Wada was absolutely not saying ‘Dragon Quest X on Wii U.'”

It’s amazing what a new piece of technology can do. Epic Games co-founder Mark Rein recently said that Unreal Engine 3 is running on the Wii U and labeled the console as being “very impressive”. And today we heard about Gabe Newell showing quite a bit of interest in the system.

In response to Newell’s quote from earlier in the day, Rein posted a comment on twitter expressing excitement about the possibility of Valve supporting Nintendo’s upcoming hardware. In fact, he’d like to see full Steam support on Wii U.

Rein said on Twitter:

“Valve likes the WiiU — the idea of having full Steam support on WiiU excites me quite a bit! Valve rocks!”

Even though the Wii U is probably over a year away from launching, we know of a few company who intend to bring launch titles to the platform. Tecmo Koei has said that they have a few things planned, for example, while Ubisoft has already confirmed that they’ll be looking to ship Killer Freaks From Outer Space.

Another company that might join in on the fun is Square Enix. Now, the really interesting thing here would be if they could ready Dragon Quest X for launch. The chances of that aren’t extremely high since it might take some extra time to prepare it for a dual release on Nintendo’s new console and the Wii. But man, that would make for one crazy launch in Japan.

Valve’s Gabe Newell seems to be on board with Wii U, saying that it “seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation.” The company has been around for more than a decade, but has never created a title for a Nintendo platform. Might that change with Wii U?

Newell told Joystiq:

“Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation. It sort of fits better into the scalability in terms of graphics performance and CPU performance, so I think it’ll be a lot easier for us to fit it into our scalability model. We’ve always loved Nintendo. Now it’s a lot easier to look at Wii U and have it fit within that framework.”

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge, a sequel to the 2002 Game Boy Color title, is available to download on the 3DS eShop. You might be wondering if the original game might be brought to the service as well since Nintendo is offering classic games as Virtual Console releases. WayForward has revealed that they are “actively pursuing” the idea, though they do not have anything to confirm at the moment.

WayForward posted the following blurb on Facebook:

“With Game Boy titles now being released on the 3DS eShop, we are frequently asked if we plan on bringing the original ‘Shantae’ to the service. We have nothing to confirm at this time, but we can say that we are actively pursuing the re-release of ‘Shantae’ on the 3DS Virtual Console. As soon as we have anything to report, we will let you know. Until then, keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter pages for future updates.”
