By next spring this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man movie tie-in game isn’t going to have much relevance, but that’s not going to stop Activision from trying to milk every last cent out of the Wii U hype with a low-risk port.
Beenox’s open world Spidey adventure has been confirmed for a Wii U release, and as already mentioned it’s currently scheduled to ship sometime during 2013′s spring season. The Wii U edition is being designed to support an optional motion control setup and Gamepad functionality that will let the player interact with the GPS and other interface features of the Osphone in-game menu system from the touchscreen.
Previously released downloadable content, including the Rhino Challenge Pack, the Oscorp Search & Destroy Pack, the Lizard Rampage Pack, and the Stan Lee Adventure Pack, will also be available right out of the box.
If you missed it before, now’s the perfect time to read our review of the original PS3/X360 release of The Amazing Spider-Man.
Matt Litten is a 28 year old from-the-womb gamer turned video game reviewer/blogger and current editor/owner/operator of VGBlogger.com. Matt got his first taste of gaming as a youngster on the NES and Atari, and the rest is history from there.
In 2004, three years removed from high school and still looking for a career direction in life, Matt landed his first gig in the video game review business writing for the now-defunct website BonusStage.com. After the sad and untimely close of BonusStage, the former staff went on to found VGBlogger.com, and after a short stint as US Site Manager for AceGamez Matt turned his attention to VGBlogger, and to this day is dedicated to making it one of the top video game blogs in all the blogosphere.
Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary.
