Bethesda open to Wii U support, Skyrim port possible
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
This information comes from Bethesda’s Pete Hines…
“It’s definitely a possibility for the future. We’ll look at any platform that will support that games we’re trying to make, but that’s the key thing – the console has to support the game as it is designed.
“The more changes we have to make to a game the less and less palatable it becomes because making a game is an enormous process. Just doing 360, PS3 and PC – I don’t think people understand the amount of work that goes into that. All of the localisation you have to do… all of the testing you have to do… on every platform in every language… It’s a pretty huge undertaking.
“So you aren’t just supporting the Wii U; You’re supporting it in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.”
When Hines was asked about bringing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to Wii U, he said, “We’ll see. It’s definitely a possibility.”
