Eurogamer posted a story yesterday regarding the development of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 developed by MercurySteam and published by Konami.
In it, producer Dave Cox apparently stated that the game wouldn’t be on the Wii U because “we don’t have the resources or the budget to do it.” He did also that this was currently limited to “the foreseeable future”.
However, Cox has since taken to Twitter stating that it’s not a matter of funds – or even about growing their staff. The tweets in question state that “its a question of resource (people, time, space etc) and focus on what we are already doing”.
Can I just say the story about CVLOS2 not coming to WiiU due to budget constraints is utter bullshit

On another note, Lords of Shadow 2 was apparently never being developed for the Wii U to begin with. So saying that it was cancelled could of course be a tiny bit misleading. As Cox stated:
Oh and we never cancelled the WiiU version because we never started a WiiU version for the reasons I just gave. Stop making shit up please

Thoughts? Or could you not care less about the sequel coming to Wii U?
