"There are no plans to develop Wii U or PlayStation Vita versions of Dark Souls 2, From Software has confirmed. The developer as well as publisher Namco Bandai Games have never considered bringing the game to Nintendo&amp;#039;s latest console, according to producer Takeshi Miyazoe.  &amp;quot;Wii U never came up, and we never doubted that (decision) either,&amp;quot; Miyazoe told Edge. &amp;quot;It was more of a company decision, so I wasn&amp;#039;t the one that decided this, but I think the audience for the Wii U is a lot different from the audience for Dark Souls.&amp;quot; Similarly, Miyazoe suggests that a PS Vita version of the game will never materialize.  He added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not a handheld game, because of the network functionality.&amp;quot; In 2012, a petition urging Namco Bandai Games and From Software to bring the game to Wii U was conceived, and it has since gained more than 17,000 supporters. Dark Souls 2 - which will most likely exclude DLC - launches for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 11, 2014 in North America, followed by a European release on March 14.
