The following comments come from Gearbox senior producer Brian Burleson...

"[Creating the Wii U version] has been pretty easy. The Wii U is a powerful, powerful machine and it can do a lot of cool new things. And so the game itself, moving it over to work on the Wii U was not much of a chore.

Now the interesting thing is finding out all the cool ways you can use the controller to do new stuff with it. You can imagine all the cool things we can do, with this franchise and having a thing with you, right? You can imagine some cool features, for sure. It's not hard to imagine some cool features."

When it came to discussing the raw power of the Wii U, Burleson had to clam up a bit...

"(That's) one thing I can't talk about. Actually nailing the specs, they haven't come out with them yet. (The Wii U version of Aliens will) "be better" (than the PS3 and Xbox 360 version in terms of visuals because of) "more modern tech."

When asked just how the Wii U version will be better, Burleson said the following.

"You'll have to wait and see. Just trust me on that one."
