Epic Games has finally clarified its stance with Unreal Engine 4 on Wii U once and for all.

According to vice-president Mark Rein, the technology isn’t intended for the console. But Rein said that it “is going to be supremely scalable”, making third-party ports possible.

He concluded by noting how “Unreal Engine 3 is a really good fit for that platform.”

Rein said:

“We have Unreal Engine 3 running on Wii U. You saw games at the Nintendo press conference again this year – a fantastic demo by our friends at Warner Bros. showing Arkham City running on Wii U. And Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming on Wii U, that’s also Unreal. There’s, I’m sure, several others. Mass Effect was announced for it as well. So we’re certainly playing a role there with Unreal Engine 3. I’ll state that I don’t think it’s our intention to bring Unreal Engine 4 to Wii U, but Unreal Engine 4 is going to be supremely scalable. We’ll run on mobile phones and on a wide variety of things, so if a customer decides they want to port an Unreal Engine 4 game to Wii U, they could. But Unreal Engine 3 is a really good fit for that platform.”

Epic Games’ senior PR manager Dana Cowley added, “beyond the PC, we haven’t confirmed any other platforms for Unreal Engine 4.”

The Indepdent recently chatted with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. The publication asked Iwata a bunch questions, and he was more than willing to provide a few juicy tidbits.

Iwata commented on the company’s first-ever operating loss, the surprising success of Wii, Wii U’s asymmetric gameplay, specs and third-parties, the future of 3D, and a whole lot more.

In the process of responding to these topics, there are a few points we’ll mention right off the bat. Iwata said that more third-party Wii U games will be announced this fall, the same time that the console’s price and release date are revealed. He also commented about the future of 3D, noting that it will likely play a minor role in Nintendo’s future systems.

Head past the break for all of Iwata’s comments. Believe me, you won’t want to miss this Q&A roundup.

It’s no secret that there a lot of third-party Wii U games that haven’t been announced. Some companies – such as EA – have been open in admitting that they’ve been holding back some content.

Official Nintendo Magazine editor in chief Chandra Nair says there are “loads” of third-party titles on the way. Nair shared the tidbit during the publication’s recent podcast.

Nair thinks we could start to see more reveals at Gamescom, and possibly at the Tokyo Game Show as well.

He said:

“It’s actually a moment I can’t talk about, because my favourite bit of E3 was finding out about all the cool third party stuff that’s coming for the Wii U, which they decided not to talk about, which was awesome. So I just want to say yeah, there’s loads of third party stuff coming which I reckon we might see at Gamescom, or we might see at TGS, but its coming. That was my favourite bit because everyone was saying ‘No one’s bringing out anything for Wii U’, and I saw some cool things.”
