Why Dead Island: Riptide isn’t being made for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Deep Silver won’t be bringing the next release in the Dead Island series to Wii U. Why is this so?
Creative producer Alexander Toplansky provided an explanation to Digital Spy:
“One of the opportunities we had for Riptide was to continue the development of the engine, and really improve it and make a lot of refinements. The things that are required to bring something to a new platform, you need to either really get to be integrating it deep into the engine, or you’ve got to [do] a port. Neither one of those was a satisfactory outcome for us, so we decided to do what we got platform-wise and just make sure that we can deliver the best experience we can.”
Could Dead Island eventually make its way to Wii U? Things are looking a bit gloomy in that area. Toplansky wouldn’t necessarily rule out the possibility, but “it’s not something that’s planned.”
“There are no plans for the moment. It’s not something I would categorically rule out, but it’s not something that’s planned.”

February 2013 NPD: Wii U around 64,000 units
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Update: Seems the 80,000 figure was inaccurate. Dent tweeted that the the Wii U sold “way under” that number. 64,000 units or so is looking more likely.
It’s uncommon to obtain official data from the NPD these days. The company does, however, tend to leave clues about the performance of hardware.
Case and point: NPD has confirmed that Wii U sales are up 40% over January. An initial figure suggested that the Wii U sold around 55,000 units in the US during the month. After a few math calculations, that would put the console at around 64,000 units at a minimum for February, with VentureBeat’s Kevin Dent specifically listing an estimate of 80,000 units.
That’s not exactly an encouraging stat for Nintendo, but it is a start – and sales have obviously seen a boost over February. With software finally starting to arrive in March – including LEGO City: Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted U – sales may pick up further.
