Project Phoenix dev does a complete turnaround, now says Wii U “could possibly be an interesting platform” for Project Phoenix
Just a few weeks ago Project Phoenix developer Hiroaki Yura blasted Nintendo, stating that the company’s hardware is not “exciting”. He did acknowledge that Nintendo’s systems can be “interesting”, but that’s where the positivity ended.
Yura now seems quite a bit willing to consider Project Phoenix for Wii U. Speaking with 4 color rebellion, Yura said: “I must admit that the WiiU could possibly be an interesting platform for our game”.
His comments in full:
“I must admit that the WiiU could possibly be an interesting platform for our game, however we are unsure as to what the current situation for the indie dev publishing from within Japan is like at the moment. Last time I checked was that it didn’t allow Japanese indies to publish games on the WiiU but this may have changed from a recent news article I read.”
Have I missed something? This is pretty bizarre, honestly. I do wonder why Hiroaki sounds much more open to the possibility of Project Phoenix coming to Wii U given his recent comments…
