Would Starcraft Work On Wii U?

A commonly expressed aspect which has been told about the Wii U is that it is possible to bring PC games like StarCraft and World Of Warcraft to the console while still managing to keep a relatively similar structure to the PC versions of the game. StarCraft II’s lead designer Dustin Browder believes that it is possible and if executed properly, that the game would be a perfect fit for Nintendo’s upcoming console.

Kotaku writer Jason Schreier asked Dusting in a over the phone interview whether or not he believed StarCraft could work on consoles specifically the upcoming Wii U. Jason expressed in the interview that he believes that the Wii U would be ideally the perfect console for strategy games. Dustin’s reply was that based on the iPhone’s structure, your fingers would constantly interfere with the screen, but if the cursor on the TV is controlled via the touchscreen, it could work, but there are players who want to use hotkeys. . Although a console version of StarCraft II is not being explored like Diablo III, Browder has confessed that Blizzard is sometimes given demonstrations as to how games like StarCraft II could work as Sony had shown them a similar demonstration with the PS Move.

Browder also mentioned to Kotaku over the phone that blizzard has “ridiculously high standards” that controllers should be working and if there is enough room to make the game work. A port would be a feasible idea, and if not, then a new title could easily be made instead to avoid a bad port of the game. Browder states that if StarCraft came to consoles, it would most likely be a new game and as for a port of StarCraft II, “We haven’t seen the system that we felt we could easily do it, and that’s not to say that some day we won’t make a really special effort to get it done, cause it certainly would be exciting. We’re just not there yet.

I for one am quite curious to see if this would happen and would love the idea of a game like StarCraft II and Diablo III for the Wii U as i am not much of a PC gamer and prefer to have a controller in my hand. All we can do now is hope that Blizzard are capable of finding the perfect control scheme for the Wii U.

If Starcraft was playable on the Wii U then I would suck at it more than I do currently. Which is already very hard to measure up to.
