The announcement of Next Level Games’s Metroid Prime: Federation Force for 3DS came something of a surprise during yesterday’s showing. Now it looks like the game was actually considered for the Wii U; producer Kensuke Tanabe, in an interview with Engadget, talked how the game came to be.

The idea to develop a new Metroid Prime title came along with the New 3DS, with controls suited to the title. Ideally, the plan was for the game to arrive alongside the hardware but, well, it’s a little late! If I’m honest, we did look into a Wii U version. However, we had to consider the resources it would take, what teams to devote for a Wii U game.

What do you think of this? Think it should have come to the Wii U, or would was 3DS the better choice? Would either lead to anything less than utter rage from Metroid fans? Sound off below!
