Such an engine would only make sense for companies who haven't already one on their own and also want to develop for a nintendo console. Which applies to hardly anyone, I would say. |
What if Ubi didn't have to use their own engine for ZombiU, and could use Retro's engine, saving dev time while making the best use of the U thanks to said engine, for Nintendo exclusives?
Also, I believe that would encourage companies to make cutting-edge Nintendo exclusives and build that market on the U rather than revert to games for the casual audience, as well as help Nintendo shed this image of being out of the cutting-edge game altogether when that may not be entirely true.

that doesnt make much sense, how can they produce cutting edge engines when the system that would be powering these engines are themselves not cutting edge?

For example, if you compare ZombiU to TLOU, there is a clear difference. Even though TLOU is 7th gen, it still has effects that would satisfy the non-casual crowd when it comes to visuals, even though it isn't next-gen it would be, in al relativity, cutting-edge. Also, I mentioned in OP cases where cutting edge wasn't necessarily dependent on hardware capabilities but on scientific breakthrough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that kind of thing could be integrated into an advanced U game engine.
