Darksiders II producer Ryan Stefanelli has plenty of praise for the Wii U version of the title.

"Just to have something on the touch screen, we put the inventory and map systems on the controller - and even that small thing makes a big difference. When you collect a new piece of loot, you just look down to see if you want it, and can equip it instantly," Stefanelli said of Wii U's touchscreen controller. "I can't say for sure if that'll be in the final cut, but it's really cool that the gameplay experience never has to be broken up by changing out equipment."

Stefanelli noted some of the advantages to using the touchscreen in the game, including being able to use it for hot keys when switching between weapons and equipment.

"Our one and only goal once we got the Wii U hardware was to get Darksiders II running on it. We didn't even have running the game on the touch screen on our 'to do' list. but once we got it running, we just fooled around with getting it on the touch screen as a lark," Stefanelli said. "It took all of five minutes and two lines of code, and boom! - there was the entire game running on the controller. Amazing."
