Bethesda: Wii U is "not on our radar". "It's largely a hardware thing."

I am not just surprised, I am honestly shocked. Historically, Bethesda has had very strong ties with Nintendo, so perhaps now it's really time to get worried about the Wii U.

Yes, such wonderful connections as "Where's Waldo" and "Home Alone." Both from way back in the NES days of 1991.

No, seriously, the Wii U could have an install base of 100 million ALREADY and Bethesda wouldn't be interested in it. The Wii has an install base of 100 million now and the DS over 150 million. Bethesda has never developed a single game for either of them. (Developed =/= published).

And the only thing that sells on it are Nintendo games and party/minigames geared towards the casual set.

Even the mighty COD franchise had abysmal sales on the Wii considering its install base and how popular COD is, especially here in the West.  The fact of the matter is that Bethesda's target audience does not game on the Wii or DS, or if they own them it's because they want access to Nintendo's 1st party selection and nothing else.
