"Wii U could be the first real console on which running an MMORPG without compromise is plausible. The controller is perfect for lining up those rows of hotbars that are essential in most MMOs. A customisable touchscreen interface combined with the 3D spatial movement of a console controller could be a winner." -Funcom developer Joel Bylos

Isn't that why it's getting Dragon Quest 10?

There are already like 3 MMOs confirmed for it. They could be up to something. Anyway, not my type of genre.

If you look at the wii games getting hyped most of them came out for the PS2, I think there's a theme here.

Like what? I don't recall games like Okami, DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and Guilty Gear getting hyped on Wii.

Cool, now they need to make an MMO that isn't like WoW for me to be interested.

Lego City Stories, Dragon Quest X, and Ghost Recon Online have been confirmed for the Wii U. I would love to see how well these perform on the console.

I highly doubt any worthwhile MMORPG will run off outdated intergrated hardware without compromise.
