Crytek interested in Wii U, no dev kits yet, hopes the consoles has a core market
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Last month, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said that the company was “pretty much running” CryEngine on Wii U. But that’s in spite of the fact that, apparently, Crytek isn’t in possession of Wii U dev kits. CryEngine’s director of global business development, Carl Jones, told NowGamer that he hasn’t seen any kits yet.
Jones also discussed how Crytek couldn’t bring content to Wii due to the technological differences between other platforms, talked about his thoughts on a core market on Wii U, and touched on the possibility of bringing something such as a CryEngine 3-powered platformer to the console.
Crytek’s interested in the Wii U. What do you make of the platform?
CJ: It’s something we’re really interested in. There are a load of Nintendo fans at Crytek, right up to the top of the company. We were unfortunately unable to support the last generation of Wii because it would have been quite an engineering effort to take the engine down to that level of hardware.
So we were quite excited to see a new level of hardware come out that we think we can support, do some good stuff with, and it’s something we’re currently experimenting with.

Hayashi: Razor’s Edge is still Ninja Gaiden III
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
We have a somewhat clearer picture of how Ninja Gaiden III will turn out on Wii U. Based on comments from team Ninja, including some words from Hayashi recently, it sounds like the experience will be very similar to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. The only major difference seems to be related to controls.
Said Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi:
“Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge is still Ninja Gaiden 3, but we plan to utilize the new controller for the Wii U to do new things. You may remember Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword for the Nintendo DS, we’re thinking implementing that kind of action and gameplay in an enhanced way for Wii U using the controller’s touch screen.”
