According to Kelbaugh, the console is “a powerhouse”, adding, “It’s more than adequate to make great games on.”

Murdered: Soul Suspect is one of many third-party titles not planned for Wii U. GameSpot asked Airtight Games chief creative officer Matt Brunner about why we won’t be seeing it on Nintendo’s console, and was offered a concise and honest answer.
