Crytek’s opinion of Wii U seems to be ever-changing.

In April, the company said there was a “fat chance” of Crysis 3 coming to Wii U. That was followed up with comments from CEO Cevat Yerli who noted that his studio has no plans for Nintendo’s console. And most recently, Crytek’s director of creative development indicated that a Wii U version of Crysis 3 could be possible and Crytek is working closely with Nintendo.

Now that you’re all caught up, here’s the latest: Crytek general manager of games Nick Button-Brown told his Twitter followers that a Wii U version of Crysis 3 isn’t in development.

He wrote:

“Just to answer the speculation, we are not currently working on a wiiU version of #Crysis3.”

Technically this comment doesn’t rule out the possibility of a Wii U version down the road, but it sounds like (once again), Crysis 3 isn’t coming to the console.

U.S. District Court Judge Grants Summary Judgment

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 1, 2012 – A U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by Copper Innovations Group, LLC. Copper had alleged that the Wii console and its controllers infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 5,640,152). Judge David Cercone of the U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh granted summary judgment in Nintendo’s favor and ruled that there was no need for a jury trial.

“We are very pleased with the court’s decision,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel. “Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team.”
