The new game will only be available on the new 'WiiU' for now but good news is that it has been rumoured to also be released on other platforms. This is a great thing and hopefully it becomes true because it looks awesome. At E3 a 10 minute presentation was given of one of the missions, where the player had to find some antibiotics in a school. The twist seems to be that once a character dies you cannot play with them again and seeing how this works will be very interesting - from the demo we are a woman character working her way through the school but she dies and instead of going into a menu, a new character wakes up with a voice in the ear saying "let's hope I can keep you alive longer than the last person". A bit later we can see the dead character come back to eventually kill the new player.
I haven't actually seen other WiiU games but compared to the normal Wii, the graphics are outstanding. It looks to have some nice environmental details and the zombies look rather frightening.
The best thing though, is the location it is based. In the glorious United Kingdom! I have seen too many games based in America and it's nice to have a change even if it is one that makes no difference to the experience of play. But there still may be other countries which the game takes you too, which would be pretty cool also.
