Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will not be coming to the Wii U

29 Comments

David Cox of Konami has confirmed that there are “no plans for a Wii U version” of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. So, while he believes the Wii U to be “a great console”, the “team are focused on PS3 and Xbox 360 at the moment”. Considering there’s Mirror of Fate in development for the 3DS, and that game ties directly in with the main Lords of Shadow storyline, this was quite an unfortunate surprise.

    That is FUCKING BULLSHIT OK. Sorry for the “harsh words” but I am sick of this. I personally had it with this shit. W

      @ Csaw what exclusives does Microsoft have? gears of war and Halo? hahahahahaha.

    That is FUCKING BULLSHIT OK. Sorry for the “harsh words” but I am sick of this. I personally had it with this shit. What do I mean by that? I mean that I am sick of hearing that game and this game the other game will not come to Nintendo’s console. FUCK YOU NINTENDO! we have no GTA, we have no UE4, and now one of my favorite franchises will not be coming to Wii U. Oh and I don’t want to hear any of you say that it doesn’t matter, or you don’t care, because this ignorance of your’s is affecting all of us nintendo fans. You are the reason why Nintendo doesn’t give enough of a shit about this issue. FUCK YOU!

      sorry for double post and swearing

      Yeah this is getting kind of ridiculous. EA claims to support he WiiU and says Dead Space 3 isn’t coming but offers 6month year old games in it’s stead. I thought this system was suppose to have more core 3rd party support than the Wii, but that really isn’t much at all to begin with.

    • DonnyKD

      Yeah, because Nintendo makes every fucking game on their systems, right?

    • Csaw

      Why don’t u complain to the third parties instead. Ur actig like it’s nintendo’s choice not to have all these games on their system and it’s not. U want GTA go bother the hell out of rockstar, u want this game, go complain to konami. And unreal engine 4 can run on iPhone and possibly even current gen consoles, so obviously it’s going to run on wiiu.

    • DarkArch

      Listen mate, I am a indie game developer, I know a little about how this industry works. If Ninty would put in some extra bucks for some exclusives from 3rd party devs that would solve the problem. But no, they only rely on own franchises, and that sucks.

    • Myst

      Butthurt much, dude?

    • Csaw

      @DarkArch they aren’t Microsoft, they don’t have the money to be throwing around to try to get exclusives.

    • Truth

      Personally am happy this demon devil game is not coming to the Wii U. Why are we complaining, not all of us have enough money to throw at 200 launch games. We are getting AC3, project cars, Mario Wii U, FIFA, madden, NBA, project P100, Pikmin 3, Aliens Colonial Marines, possibly even time splitters 4, watch and be amazed. Greater games are coming better games too. Wait! The 3DS is getting the other so chill people.

    • DarkArch

      Well yea I guess I kinda snapped. But this still remains an issue.

    I find it rather sad to see a series celebrating its 25th anniversary to not include the Wii U. After all, it was on the NES where this franchise made its start… not counting the Japan-only arcade game. I’m not at all denying the fact of Symphony of the Night was absolutely amazing either. However, if the 8-bit earlier ones weren’t a success then it would probably never had been created.

    I think that’s a rather dumb decision.

  • TheMightyFludd

    Oh well. I will just go get it on my PS3 or Xbox 360. No big deal.

  • Pete41608

    Seems that there are “no plans for a Wii U version” of a lot of potentially good/great games :( I wish Nintendo would have never allowed developers to develop this bias some have for them.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      That would have required developers to actually publish a good game on Nintendo consoles. You don’t see Sega, Wayforward, or Grasshopper saying this kind of shit. Capcom seems to only believe that RE4, Killer7, and Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 only successes because Nintendo bankrolled them, because they believe this shit too.

  • Jon

    Guys, let’s not use hope. I’m sure we’ll see CASTLEVANIA on WiiU eventually, if not this particular game. Yes, it’s frustrating, but I’m sure we’ll see it when the system starts selling.

  • Jon

    Also note: the guy in question said “at the moment”. Which does not mean “not ever.”

  • Truth

    EA is releasing and announcing two more games for the Wii U. Plus is it not a great thing that some of these underpowered systems i.e get these mediocre games. The Wii U needs it’s on new IPs period duh!

    • Jon Turner

      Well I definitely agree that WiiU definitely needs a new title, I agree. And frankly, if I really want a [i]Castlevania[/i] for WiiU, I’d rather they make one from scratch for the system than a port — although I can go either way. Still something tells me we’ll get CV on WiiU eventually, if not this game, it’s just a matter of WHEN and maybe IF.

  • Tails the Foxhound

    God dammit Konami. Now if you release Judgement 2 (one my pipe dreams) on Wii U people will hate you.

  • lump182

    I wish they’r stop the whole ” it’s a great platform, but….” thing. If its ‘great’ then make a game for it. If its’s not great then don’t.

  • NO you are wrong

    You’re very wrong cos Nintendo are this who not want this games to be on WII U they are afraid this games may hurt little kids who will buy their console cos of the violent blood in it but you may choose Sony or Microsoft cos they will have that game

    • http://n00bpwners.com zxride64

      Here is the problem with your comment, AC3 is on the system, Mass Effect 3 is on the system and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor Edge will be the version with blood and to cut off limbs which The Ps3 and 360 version do not have, which is something Nintendo is encourageing.

    Well, it’s not that great of loss. Most modern console versions of Castlevania tend to suck, anyways. Castlevania belongs better on the handheld.

  • BigNliker

    These guys there are stupid Morons…How can they dare not to bring a castlevania on the new Nintendo console-.-

  • Ness

    Not fucking surprised. Nintendo systems ALWAYS have shitty third-party support. Anyone who was as goddamn stupid as to think the Wii U would be a change needs a hot tray of lava shoved up their asshole!

    SCREW THE WII U! SCREW JESUS H. CHRIST!

  • nintendofreak

    how can it not come to the WiiU ?? just PORT that piece of shit over to the system … it dosnt take that much work …either its that konami is lazy .. or they dont give a fuck about the wii u
