At least from the phrasing (and my own experience writing software) is that a Wii/3DS version of the Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) would basically be a different engine due to the amount of changes they'd need to make. The end result being the entire point of UE3, that you can make most of the game once and get multiple platforms is lost as the Wii/3DS would need all new graphics to be drawn (the most expensive part of game development) and probably other changes as well.

I highly doubt it ...

The primary difference between the Wii/3DS and platforms that the Unreal engine has been demonstrated to run on is that the Wii/3DS have a fixed functionality graphics pipeline and the other platforms don’t.  While this can have an impact on what a game looks like, being that you can disable most of the effects that require programmable shaders in most games, I highly doubt that it would be that difficult to modify these engines to run on these platforms.

Now I could be wrong, but if that is the case I would say the difficulty to port the Unreal 3 engine would be a sign of a very poorly engineered system.

Has he actually touched a 3DS now then? The big fuss last time he mentioned all this was based off the fact that he'd never even had the damn thing in his hands and simply dismissed it outright.

If he's taken the time to actually get hold of a 3DS and had a look at what it can/can't do and determined that UE3 won't run on the console then that's one thing and you've got to say it would be fair enough, if he's still just dismissing it without even having seen the console then that causes the same problem as before.

All he needs to do is compare what functions are supported by PICA gpu hardware and compare it to what they are using in UE3.

Good.  I like having a platform where Japanese developers get the spotlight.

That's still the fault of the developer and not the engine. You just have to look at games like Enslaved, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Borderlands, Bulletstorm, DC Universe Online and Mirrors Edge to see how wrong that whole 'every unreal game is gray' pereception is wrong.

don't love=/=don't like. Nintendo=/=platforms. I say it's stupid to require loving a platform (this is still a business), but you are twisting his words.

Nobody mentioned this:

Its weird he says the 3ds doesnt meet standards, but they have unreal engine on the iOS.......

I just took up for Nintendo, and I don't even like them.. whats wrong with me.

As crappy as the iOS systems are, they are still lightyears ahead of the ancient tech in the 3DS. 

Why do people keep on wanting their support? If you like their games so much buy something that can play them
