During a theater presentation of the Infiltrator demo (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/29/unreal-engine-4-infiltrator-video-tech-details/), Rein laughed and said "no" when asked if UE4 would run on Wii U.
"Our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles," he explained to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/the-wii-u-wont-be-getting-unreal-engine-4-462919060). "That's really what our energies are focused on. If you want to make a Wii U game, we have Unreal Engine 3, and it's powering some of the best games on the Wii U already."
Battlefield series executive producer Patrick Bach told Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-28-the-big-battlefield-4-interview-dice-leaves-technology-behind) this week that not only is Battlefield 4 not coming to Wii U, the new Frostbite 3 engine on which it runs is also not designed for Wii U. "We right now don't have support for the Wii U in the Frostbite engine," he said. "The reason for that is it takes development time."http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Unreal Engine 4 not designed to work on Wii U (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/30/unreal-engine-4-not-designed-to-work-on-wii-u/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 30 Mar 2013 05:00:00 EST.
