Can someone put this to rest.

If Epic refuses to port their engine onto wiiu, or use their engine --whatever the 'term' is... How are any games that use UE4 going to make it onto wiiu? They aren't... that's what I'm taking away from this announcement. I'm not interested in the minutia of "how it can possibly happen in the foreseeable future" I'm interested in the FACTS.

If EPIC has refused to allow their engine onto wiiu --that means that no future UE4 game will make it onto the platform. So nintendo's only hope is to either pay out, or hope UE4 isn't licensed by many developers?

Does anybody on this forum know how to do a little reasearch and reading before spouting false info?? I'd be happy to 'put this to rest' for you...

"Update: Speaking with Engadget, Epic's Mark Rein doubled back on his previous comments to IGN concerning Wii U and Unreal Engine 4. "If someone wants to take Unreal Engine 4 and ship a game on Wii U, they can," Rein said. "If they wanna ship an Unreal Engine 4 game on Xbox 360, they could make it happen." The scalable nature of Unreal Engine means we'll see it running in browsers and mobile in the future -- and maybe current-gen consoles as well. Why Rein denied it so aggressively in the first place isn't certain."
