Tomonobu Itagaki, former head of Team Ninja, hinted that his upcoming project, Devil’s Third, may be bound for the Wii 2. This was in an interview with Impress Watch via Adriasang. He said his upcoming game will be supporting 3D on a yet unknown system.

He said his development team at Valhalla Game Studios was making efforts to make his game good enough to support a future hardware. “We’re developing it so that it can be brought to as yet unknown hardware as well. Specifically, the various areas of technology are scalable,” said Itagaki.

When he was asked if by a “yet unknown hardware” he meant the PSP2 or the 3DS (which is not unknown), he said he speculated Nintendo to release a higher end console soon. More than that, although I can’t say this easily because I don’t have any information, it’s possible that Nintendo could release a higher end console. Something like that.” he said.

Wii 2! Wii 2! Wii 2! Please!
