Tomb Raider Coming to Wii U?

After many years of kicking ass and taking names, Lara Croft will be seeing a new, grittier, more vulnerable side to her adventure. Previously, Nintendo fans were thought to be completely left out of this experience, but recent findings suggest that it could in fact be coming to the Wii U

Did not quite understand what caused this rumor but OK. It would be welcome.

corrus4339d ago

I don't think they will play this game

DivineAssault 4339d ago

I loved that dude.. Bubble + for u

Hisiru4339d ago (Edited 4339d ago )

I am a Nintendo fan but I bought a PS3 because most of the multiplatform games were released for PS3/x360. How can anyone buy third party games on the Wii if there is no real support and when you have a port for the Wii, it's really bad?

It's not because we don't want to play it on the Wii, it's because we got bad support, bad ports and the system was underpowered.

I hope it will be different with the WiiU, and then we will be able to buy games like this on the WiiU.

Soldierone4339d ago

@hisiru I understand where you are coming from and have to say that the "bad support" was simply the poor specs for Wii. You can't really have some games at the same level on there when certain games are pushing 360 to its limits.

With WiiU it has better specs and I think the support will be better because of it, at least until a year or so into next generation and the developers start utilizing the next PlayStation and Xbox better. (unless Nintendo revamps its WiiU specs before launch)

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4339d ago

Saddly,
you might be right. (Nintendo fans seem to fit the fears of 3rd Parties).

But it looked great during... was it Sony's or Microsoft's Press Conference?

Timmer4339d ago

Most of the real Nintendo fans would play this. I know I would.

The casual market won't, they'll get scared that the game is nothing but torture porn.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4338d ago

I am a Nintendo fan but a lot of us do overlook non-Nintendo titles.

WiiUfan4339d ago

I hope this rumor is true cuse I was getting it for ps3, if true I would get it for (the U) I don't know why company's are not saying they are supporting the system, when they are.

DivineAssault 4339d ago

Thats cuz they might not be.. Most of them wait to see if the system gets a good install base before making high production value titles.. Remember XBOX 1? Crappy support but it earned its place among core gamers.. Nintendo must be a bankable commodity.. Most games above TEEN rating flop..

Valenka4339d ago

The trailer has only the PS3, Xbox, and PC icons, so no Wii U.

Timmer4339d ago

Watch Dogs has been confirmed for PC, 360, PS3. Yet it's still in consideration for a Wii U release. Just because they trailer says it doesn't mean it won't happen. It just means it's not happening as of the time of the trailer airing.

Valenka4339d ago

Regardless, I doubt Tomb Raider would be released on the Wii U--the last two games that were on the Wii (Anniversary and Underworld) were immensely watered down, and even the developers said they weren't proud of that. I just can't see it happening given the past.

Timmer4339d ago

To their defense, the devs didn't have much to work with on the Wii. We all know that. But it's not too late, they could bring it over or port it. The article is too unclear without any actual evidence to be believable, but I still hold hope because I like what I saw from the game.

The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire9560d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro60d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot60d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist59d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx60d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic188160d ago (Edited 60d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire9560d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist60d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp60d ago

For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.

jznrpg60d ago

I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.

robtion60d ago

Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
