Dark Souls II is arguably the most popular release for last-gen consoles coming up next year, with a release date of March 14, 2014. Edge Magazine sat down with the game’s producer, Takeshi Miyazoe to ask about several different aspects of producing the game–namely for PC–but the Wii U was also mentioned. When asked whether From Software and Namco ever considered a Wii U port of the game, the reply was a blunt “no.”<\/p>\n

The following question as to why received laughter, followed by this explanation:<\/p>\n

\u201cWii U never came up, and we never doubted that (decision) either. It was more of a company decision, so I wasn\u2019t the one that decided this, but I think the audience for the Wii U is a lot different from the audience for Dark Souls.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s interesting to see a Japanese developer believes that the audience for Dark Souls is fundamentally different than that of someone who would enjoy a Wii U. Personally, I own Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and I have Dark Souls II collector’s edition pre-ordered, while the Wii U console sits neatly under my television. It should be interesting to note that many people who enjoy the Monster Hunter series would likely be fans of Dark Souls as well.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the PS Vita got the same treatment as the Wii U from the developers, as they believe the game isn’t a handheld game and should be played with network functionality enabled always. You can check out the rest of the interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Dark Souls II is not coming to Wii U because the core audience on Wii U is not the same audience that would enjoy Dark Souls, says producer Takeshi Miyazoe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":25128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"xf_promoted_thread_id":0},"categories":[1364],"tags":[2126,1594,3189,40,1358],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25127"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daily.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
