E3 2012 | Gearbox Highlight Wii U Aliens as Best Version

Gearbox Software have teased that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines will be the best looking version out there.

You can now count the number of days left till the big Wii U worldwide reveal on both hands, and fans are itching to know how Nintendo's first steps into the HD realm would compare to hardware that has already been on the market for five, six years - the Xbox 360 and PS3. There has been a mixed response, with multiplatform projects being "just as good" as their current-generation counterparts, however Gearbox have openly stated that the Wii U edition will be the best visually.

Speaking to Eurogamer this week, senior producer Brian Burleson praised the Wii U as a "powerful, powerful machine". He noted how porting the title "was not much of a chore" and that because of "more modern tech", the Wii U edition will just be that bit better.

But how? Due to NDA agreements, Burelson could only tease: "You'll have to wait and see - Just trust me on that one."

Aliens: Colonial Marines is expected to make its Wii U debut at this year's E3 Expo.
