Straight Right, the Australian developer porting Mass Effect 3 to Wii U (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/29/mass-effect-3-wii-u-developed-by-australian-studio-straight-righ/), may also be working on a "triple-A Square Enix" port for Nintendo's new console. The info is based on the LinkedIn page (http://au.linkedin.com/pub/chris-slater/36/138/41b) (now altered) of Chris Slater, Straight Right's technical project manager, as spotted by an eagle-eyed NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=495664) user.
Slater has since updated his LinkedIn profile, but a Google Cache (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4UlwWNJeK0cJ:au.linkedin.com/pub/chris-slater/36/138/41b+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) of the page as it was on September 25 shows the project manager is "working for Straight Right on a short term contract, porting a triple-A Square Enix game to the yet-to-be-released Wii U platform." We have a screen-grab of the Google Cache page here (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/10/screenshot.jpg?9276).
It's already known Straight Right is working on two Wii U games in addition toMass Effect 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/09/straight-right-building-two-wii-u-games-that-arent-mass-effect/), with one an original IP and the other stemming from a well-known franchise. Since the Square Enix game is a port, it means this'd be the one from a well known franchise. Hitman Absolution, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and the new Tomb Raider are primary candidates. Crystal Dynamics previously denied Tomb Raider is coming to Wii U any time soon,saying (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=124504) the studio would have to design it "very differently" and with "unique functionality" for the Nintendo console.
We reached out to Square Enix, but a spokesperson told us the publisher "cannot comment on rumors or speculation."
