Far Cry 3 for the Wii U?

Ubisoft loves the Wii U. We hear them say it all the time, and with Ubisoft comes several popular franchises. The question is which games and which franchises will Wii U owners be able to play. One such game series is Far Cry. The third installment in the franchise is due for a 2012 release, and many fans are wondering if it will also be released on the Wii U, since it too will be released next year.

Far Cry 3‘s lead designer, Jamie Keen, commented, “That all remains to be seen, to be honest. Right now we’ll concentrate on those three lead SKUs [PC, PS3 and Xbox 360], and we’ll have to see how it goes from there.”

We already know that an Assassin’s Creed title will be released on the Wii U, so we know that Ubisoft is planning on bring both their mature and casual titles to the new console. But exactly how many more mature titles remains to be seen.

When asked about this, Keen replied: “I’m afraid I’m going to be super evasive on this one! I think the possibilities of Wii U… I think it opens up a new realm of possibilities for more mature titles, but for now we’re concentrating on those three SKUs.”

I personally have an interest in whether or not this game will be made available. I’ve played the first game, I’ve watched others play the second, and I think it’s a solid bit of shooter software. If it does make it to the Wii U, I’ll probably go out and get a copy. If it doesn’t, I’ll just steal my dad’s PC copy when he’s done with it. I’ll get to play it no matter what, so it’s a matter of how I’ll play it.

Readers, do you think Ubisoft and other third party companies will hold back when it comes to releasing more mature titles on a Nintendo platform? How many of you are interested in Far Cry 3, and would consider playing it on the Wii U?
