Unreal Engine 4 Definitely Not Coming to Wii U

29th March, 2 replies

Epic Games, Mark Rein, Wii U
0

Epic co-founder Mark Rein categorically (and quite brutally) ruled out Unreal Engine 4 running on the Wii U in a Q&A session with Kotaku. Here are the relevant exchanges:

Kotaku - Will UE4 run on the Wii U?

Rein - Hahaha no

The room then 'erupted with laughter', before Rein continued:

"Unreal Engine 3 doesn't disappear because of Unreal Engine 4. But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles. 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."

    This isn't exactly true. UE4 won't come out the box with Wii U support (as it currently stands) but anyone can put it on Wii U if they wish.

    The Wii U isn't exactly a powerful machine, and remember gutys you do not need ground breaking technology to make a first class game.
