Vigil Games<\/a> has confirmed that Darksiders II has been added to the Wii U<\/a>‘s launch title lineup, and will be going out “day one” with Nintendo<\/a>‘s new box.<\/p>\n

“That’s been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they’re making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way,” lead designer Hayden Dalton<\/a> told Digital Spy.<\/p>\n

“It’s basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can’t do on the other consoles.”<\/p>\n

Things that you can’t do on other consoles, of course, means making use of the Wii U’s touchscreen controls.<\/p>\n

“One of the things that we did, when we were originally going to show it off, was that you could equip stuff directly. So, for instance, I could be running along and I could click on another piece and I could put it on as I’m running through the game,” he said.<\/p>\n

“That’s huge, it’s not breaking up the game in a way, I’m not going into a menu and assigning it, I’m literally just tapping as I’m playing.”<\/p>\n

The Wii U doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s expected some time towards the end of 2012.<\/p>\n
