Watch it turn out to be Android-OS Phones and Iphones.
EDIT: Oh they mentioned those already. Wow, that was a quick backtrack off of not wanting to develop for underpowered hardware.

Thank You! He did indeed mention that it would be running on systems that "we" can't name yet. |
No, he did not mention UE4 running on any system. You can watch the conference video at GS and see the context of the quote.

While I have no doubts that Epic will port their engine to the Wii U for financial reasons, Mark Reign at Epic has demonstrated an irrational hatrid of Nintendo that puts many rabid fanboys to shame ... I don't know what the origin of this hatrid of Nintendo is, but there has been no known bad-blood between Nintendo and Epic, and the "feud" has always been one sided.
Unlike companies like id and Rockstar, who seem to have reasonable reasons to dislike Nintendo and yet also seem willing to at least consider working with Nintendo, Epic has seemed to be ideologically opposed to Nintendo for as long as I can remember with no good reason.

Strictly speaking, he might not be able to mention the Wii U ...
While I would see this as unlikely, there is a possibility that there is a business deal between Epic and Nintendo that is bound by a NDA preventing Epic from confirming the Wii U runs the Unreal 4 engine. As an unlikely hypothetical, back with the Gamecube Nintendo included a third party game engine (that I can't remember the name of) as part of their development kit allowing developers to use this engine without further license to produce games, and Nintendo could do something like that with epic for the Wii U; although I would label this as highly unlikely, it could even be a scaled down Unreal 4 engine for indie developers to produce simple games for the Wii U.

I had just assumed it was a justification for their so hugely messing up with UE3 and not having a wii ready engine, when that's where the bulk of games were being made... and espeically the type of games that would be looking to pay for an engine.
Epic likely REALLY lost a lot of money this generation. (By lost a lot of money i mean potential money obviously.)

well see the problem here is there has been 0 announcments about ps4 or 720 except the fact we wont see an announcent this yr and the fact the 720s chips are supposively in development .
so maybe they are working on wii u and just can not say they might be waiting til e3 to announce somthing big! for all we know. .
other factors ---- windows 8 maybe it has somthing to do with that
again this article is just tossing things in the air. (unnamed systems?) we know ps4 will be ps4 so how will it be un-named
and we know theres another xbox just not when their going to announce it is the question
and lol since when has any of those companys you listed hated nintendo
seriously. sure they make reasons not to develop for them (epic at least) but rockstar has already worked w nintendo on the n64 even and gc with a few titles . so no . just no take that out of the equation there is no hate between any company.
they aint even competing in the console market for there to be hate.
they just make financial decsions . if any one hated nintendo i'd say ea is practically is the one that screws nintendo over constantly . ---nascar a big example.
gamecube only had 2 nascar titles. for what reason i had no clue- 2003 2005 . every other ea nascar title was ps2 xbox ps1 only .lol

Are you serious, or just too young to remember?
Nintendo had very well know falling outs with both DMA Design (Rockstar) and id software durring the N64 generation.
