E3: Darksiders 2 Already Running on New Nintendo Console Wii U

THQ States:

“We have Darksiders II completely running on the Wii U right now. It took about five weeks. Coming into the show we were ready to go. We could have demonstrated it on the hardware but they [Nintendo] decided not to have full games shown in the booth.

Instead, as confirmed by Nintendo this week, PS3 and Xbox 360 footage was shown to reveal that Darksiders II is set for launch on Wii U, due out next year. But if you were to go into Vigil in Austin, Texas right now, Darksiders II is fully running on the new hardware.

The Darksiders team was one of the first teams to get dev kits. We’ve had dedicated engineers on it working seven day weeks leading up to the show.I’ve got all the emails. We now have it running with the controller. So we could have shown it”
