Mario & Luigi series unlikely to hit Wii U anytime soon

The Mario & Luigi series has always been exclusive to Nintendo’s handhelds. Might that change anytime soon? Don’t count on it!

Nintendo producer Akira Otani, speaking with CVG, said that he’s personally interested on the console, but the company has “no plans for a Wii U version.” Otani believes that sticking with portables may be the best option “to convey the amusement and fun of the character animations and reactions using AlphaDream’s pixel art”.

“As a developer I am interested, but we currently have no plans for a Wii U version. If we want to convey the amusement and fun of the character animations and reactions using AlphaDream’s pixel art, I think handheld consoles are the best for doing this.”
