Nintendo is gunning for third-party support with Wii U, the company's next-generation gaming console. Capcom revealed that "good stuff" is coming to Wii U; however, its new intellectual property - Remember Me - will not feature on Nintendo's next-generation console.

Capcom unveiled Remember Me on Tuesday. The 7-minute gameplay demo, below, is set in a futuristic cyberpunk setting. The central mechanic of the game is to "remix" persons' memories. The demo depicted a man who remembered killing his wife, only to shoot himself just before his wife, alive and well, walks into his office.

Christian Svensson, senior vice president at Capcom, spoke with fans on the company's forum about Remember Me and a possible Wii U version.

"We explored the idea of adding a SKU [stock-keeping unit], but in the name of keeping the team focused and not adding devs tasks for the team to get up to speed on new hardware and time to the schedule, we've opted to keep it on the original platforms for which it was planned," Svensson said, adding that Remember Me began devlopment long before Wii U existed.

Svensson also answered questions regarding Capcom's release of a new IP at the end of a console cycle. He cited late-generation IPs including God of War as successes, and believes current consoles will continue to be supported. Microsoft and Sony are expected to announce the next-generation Xbox and Sony consoles, respectively, around E3 2013.

Regardless of how Remember Me turns out, Capcom has released a fresh idea amid a generation of sequels. When November 2012 arrives, sequels released this generation will include The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (the follow-up to Oblivion), Crysis 3, Halo 4, Gears of War 3, Fable 3, Mass Effect 3, Skate 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops 2, among others. Even prequels are being introduced, as trilogies like Gears of War conclude and its Gears of War: Judgement appears.

Remember Me will be released in May 2013 on Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.
