<p>Gearbox Software admits that seeing their upcoming game<em> Borderlands 2</em> on the Wii U &#8220;would just be fantastic&#8221;. The publisher 2k Games has yet to exhibit an interest in the matter though.</p>
<p>Gearbox Software&#8217;s Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel shares the developers opinion on the Wii U as a platform; &#8220;We really like the Wii U, I think it&#8217;s a really cool platform.&#8221; says Brian. &#8220;I like what they&#8217;re doing and it will be interesting to see what Microsoft does with their approach to that idea. It&#8217;s one of those problems of the Wii: the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo.&#8221;</p>
<p>Martel also touched on<em> Aliens: Colonial Marines</em>, which is also being developed by Gearbox Software, and set for a release on the Wii U. &#8220;So we&#8217;re really excited to bring <em>Aliens: Colonial Marines</em> to it. And we&#8217;re going to do a wait and see approach, our publisher 2k Games is going to see whether they&#8217;re going to go with that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Martel then addressed his feelings on whether<em> Borderlands 2</em> is suitable for the Wii U, stating: &#8220;If Borderlands 2 was on the Wii U, the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management: it would be amazing on that, it would just be fantastic. And I think the artwork would look really good, with the way they can deal with the resolutions and textures, I think it&#8217;s a really good console.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Borderlands 2</em> is set for release September 18, 2012 in America, and September 21, 2012 in the UK.</p>
