Nintendo should upgrade Devil's Third to Unreal Engine 4

But the thing is they don't know if the game is going to sell well. Why waste time and money changing the engine when the possible customers maybe aren't going to be interested in the product to begin with? If the game succeeds then they can try it, but right now better aim low.

Maybe less about how much the game would sell and more to have a reason to venture into UE4 just to have a scratch at greater third party support.

To me, aiming for UE4 probably should have been the target for Devil's Third from the get-go once Nintendo nailed exclusivity which was probably several months ago by my guess. Maybe it's too late for this game, but maybe not another...

Yes, but 3rd party are not going to care about the WiiU, no matter if it runs UE4 or UE99Xtreme Ultimate Realism, if their games don't make a profit. Look at all those games that appear on PS360 PS4/XBone, if they can run in last-gen consoles they could run on WiiU, but developers won't port it because of the fear of not making enough profit. Should they try to put UE4 on next games? Yes, they must try, no excuse. But that is not going to move the developers.

I hope this game sells well, so the system gets more support.
