Bethesda more or less rules out Wii U development
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Similar to the Wii, it doesn’t sound like Bethesda has any plans to support Wii U.
Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines, speaking with Eurogamer, said that the company has “nothing announced in development for Wii U.” Hines wouldn’t share any specifics as to why Bethesda isn’t keen on the console, stating he’d “rather not go into that.”
Hines’ comments in full:
“We have nothing announced in development for Wii U. It’s not something that we’ve done anything for previously. I don’t even remember the last time we’ve done a Nintendo title. We don’t have anything now. Whether or not we would in the future is TBD. As for why, I guess I’d rather not go into that.”

Nintendo doesn’t typically have a large presence at the World Hobby Fair, and this year is no different. Only one game will be on display – Pikmin 3.
It would have been nice to see additional titles like Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but it’s better than nothing!

“Definitely don’t count the Wii U out.” That’s the message from GameStop president Tony Bartel.
With new titles scheduled to arrive on Wii U this holiday such as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Super Mario 3D World, consumer interest will pick up.
According to Bartel:
“They are also launching several games later this year, so we expect to see a lot of interest from consumers as we head into the holidays.”
