Bloodstained on Wii U

It probably won't get ported to the NX until after release if it is successful enough and has enough demand for it to be ported over. Currently, we don't even really know what the NX is at this point in time. Recent patterns for Nintendo's system is to have backwards compatibility of their lastest console, so we may still be able to play it on the NX! It isn't guaranteed as of now though.

(I also hope they keep the Wii U gamepad as a functional thing for the new console. Still so many possibilities with it!)

I sincerely hope NX will have backwards compatibility, otherwise I'll be giving the biggest facepalm of the century...

NX will have reverse compatibility just like the past two Nintendo systems before it. Chances are they will just toss the Wii U version in the NX eshop for people who don't own a physical copy.

Being a veteran Nintendo fanboy I would wager on it.

Can't wait to play this on Wii U. I don't think it will feel outdated even if the NX is out by the time Bloodstained releases.

I still think the NX will be some kind of mobile platform unlike the 3ds.

Where did they confirm that?

Last I remember of anything being confirmed was after an investor speculated it was an android based phone based on technologies they were patenting, then they went and denied the claim.

If it's not a phone then it also stands to reason that Nintendo can and will invest in technologies that may be useful in the future which labels anything similar to the PS4/X-One merely a potential endeavor.

That's a little weird to say "we've said this" when they in fact haven't actually said that before. The actual statement doesn't define the NX as a home console.

But the Wii U is rising in sales over time and has some big releases on the way.

That puts it relatively close to the X-One.

Despite PS4 not having any real system sellers minus HD ports it's reached that point. Then despite the hits the Wii U had such as MK8 and Splatoon it's not doing as well in console sales. Regardless the games are what make the money.

Unfortunately it's company image. Nintendo had the image of a kid friendly company despite RE4 on GC and Bayonetta 2, and a lot of gamers don't jive with that. Wii hit it off with the older crowd which skyrocketed sales, but that didn't mean they escaped their company image.

I doubt a new console is simply going to erase that, and I doubt they think that either.
