Lantern Interactive on why The Realm would work on Wii U, says to difficulty to port to 3DS
A portion of a C3 interview with Lantern Interactive's Tom Szirtes...
C3: You mentioned to Cubed3 recently that you would love to consider Nintendo Wii U. What aspects about the GamePad do you think could work well with The Realm?
Tom Szirtes: This game was designed at the very beginning to work on touch screen devices - it's how we imagined the game to be interacted with. We wanted the player to touch the world, become immersed. That's why we think Wii U would be the perfect console to take this game to.
C3: With iPad/Android versions considered, would there be a chance of a Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita version?
Tom Szirtes: I think Nintendo 3DS might be a bit difficult to fit all The Realms beautiful graphics into, but PS Vita is possible though. We are open to considering any platforms - as always it a case of business and opportunity. Our main goal at the moment is to reach our Kickstarter target and finish the game for our backers on PC + Mac. As soon as we have done that we will be working on new platforms.
