Until I see the UE4 running on the Wii U, I would not believe it. So far it's only been confirmed that the Wii U can handle the UE3 and that it supports it... We'll see about the rest, I guess.


I think Epic said their will be no Wii U support for the UE4 or am I confusing them with Crytek. I know one developer said they wont support the Wii U just yet.

UE4 should work on Wii U cause its scalable, hell they said it would work on tablets and phones too.

Also I'm pretty sure it was Crytek that said they weren't going to support the Wii U.

"Though Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli thinks highly of the Wii U, he doesn't seem to believe the German developer has "a business case" that "justifies" developing a game for the system. Yerli adds, however, that Crytek's impressive engine (powering Crysis 3 next) has already been licensed for a Wii U project. 


"It doesn't mean that CryEngine 3 doesn't run on Wii U – it actually runs beautifully," Yerli told CVG. "In fact, there actually is a game in development from a respected developer that we will be announcing. I've seen the game running and it looks really great."

 

So, yeah, Crytek aren't making any games for it, BUT it can run on it. Sniper Ghost warrior is a CE3 game and I think that it's coming to the Wii U. Apart from that.. I don't know. Epic said that the UE4 would be able to run on smart phones as well as high end machines, BUT they also said that for now they'd only officially support the UE3 for the Wii U...

 

It's pretty messed up tbh... I remember John Riccitello coming on stage at E3 2011 during the Nintendo conference and saying that they're gonna be working together and all, would be bringing online, origin, battlefield, bla bla bla bla... Things got messy at some point me thinks.
